Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.Proverbs 3:5-6
It is far too easy to dream
It is far too easy to be flippant with my words.
To say I want to go here and there;
To desire to learn this and do that.
I dream of going place to place declaring the word of the Lord.
I desire to care for widows and orphans.
I dream of travelling from country to country.
To Argentina, Australia, Burma, Chile, Greece, Haiti, Sudan, Turkey and go back to Uganda, Philippines, and Thailand.
It would be far too easy to stamp my passport with 11 more.
I want to be bold like Paul and have/be an encourager like Barnabus.
I wish to learn to play violin, cello, piano, and guitar.
I want my hands to be skilled at woodworking, pottery, welding, and mechanics.
I want to till the land and give away the crops.
I want to transform a shack into a home.
I dream of paying off my debt.
I want to backpack the Grand Cannon, South America, and bicycle long distances.
I dream of working on Mercy Ships or acting as an agent of peace in War torn Countries.
I dream of flying helicopters.
I dream of a future husband, I dream of not being alone.
I dream of giving orphans a home.
I dream of working with diabetics.
I dream of educating and empowering the impoverished.
I dream of living in community and love.
Father, I’m dreaming of staying in Romania. And I know that’s not my own.
It’s far too easy to write lists of desires and never see them to fruition.
Father, it’s far too easy to live in dreams.
Father, I do not lean on my own understanding and I will trust you in ALL things.
Lord, There are far to many "I" statements in the above.
What, Lord, would you have me do? I lay this at your feet.
Here I am, send me.
