I am a dreamer.

I always have been, hopefully I always will be, a dreamer.

-something of an unreal beauty, charm, or excellence

....something of an unreal beauty, charm, or excellence....

That is what I dream.

I used to dream of owning a big house with my "perfect" husband and my wonderful children.
It would be a haven for abused and neglected children, troubled teens, and stray dogs.
It would overflow with love and grace and mercy; the words "God bless this home and all in it" written overhead if not in ink, then in spirit.

What happened to that dream? What happened to me?
I gave up. I gave up on dreams, I gave up on people, I gave up on God.

I used to have dreams and visions almost every night of things God was doing in me, through me, and around me.

What happened to those dreams?

I accepted the mindset of "whatever happens, happens."
I gave control to the world.


Lord, make me a dreamer once again.
Fill my heart with thoughts of unreal beauty, charm, and excellence.

Fill me with Your dreams again
