Dreams

From a time of reflecting to how I can make my dreams come true. I think daily of what I want to be when I "grow up". My first career as a vehicle mechanic in the Air force has been good to me. But are there bigger and better things God has in his plan for me. I have lots of opportunities coming up in the next year. Will I go back to work full time. Will I go to school. Will a pursue a home business. Will I choose to dive in head first to my children's school and there activities. What is it I want to do to better myself and my family.

College is always up there on the top of the list. I have school money. I need to use it. With two kids in school I will have time for classes and studying.

Finding a part time job is also in the mix. Earning a little extra money for our family will for sure help us out in the long run.

Going to work full time. Wow that one is like at the bottom of the list right now.  I would love to take a full time job. Will it be worth the stress. Will it make me and my family happy.

To many questions. To many what ifs. I need to really sit down and figure out my next move towards my dreams. Are these things selfish. Well these  things make me happy.

Dreaming the dreams I have. Dreaming the dreams I want and can pursue. Life has so many options, difficulties, struggles. I can see the other side. I can see the grown up me.

I will work towards these things. I will work towards a goal. Starting today I will enjoy the moment. and stop thinking so much of the future. Keeping those thought to a page in a book. I will look towards tomorrow but not with so much dreaming. I will find the time to research my next step with out forgetting to enjoying the now.

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,"declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

reflecting

I had this awesome opportunity to go to Hawaii for my anual training.  I am so glad I jumped on that plane after the year I had.  It was so refeshing. I had lots of time to think, to relax and recharge. Something I truly needed. God knows what we needed and when we need it. I told myself I will have fun, and I will enjoy the ocean. It is such a scary place to be.I learned it can be refreshing, energishing, powerful but also peaceful. Watching the sunrise and set on such a beautiful place I found God in a big way. My fears are being changed into things of the past. I am truely looking foward with no fear.
We all need that time to reconnect with God. Weather you find a few minutes in the morning before the kids wake up, or at night before you close your eyes or on a beach in Hawaii find that time to connect, reflect and talk to your heavenly father.
