The Possibilities of God's Amazing Grace.

Why do we go through life dreaming dreaming and in most cases never act on those dreams?  There are those who put dreams into action, they seem fearless to me.  I know that isn't true though, for they are not without fear.  We all of us in part fear failure, we fear that if those dreams become a reality they may not be what we expected them to be or, we won't feel about them what we thought we would.  Often times we decide to stop trying to put dreams in to action, because we have been burned by expectations of things we should feel after those dreams come to be. At some point we just stop dreaming, with that comes losing hope.  Why is that?

 Dreaming and hoping for the future, for the Possability of something better or different.  The older I get the harder it is to hold on to dreams, and to hope for better.  I wonder often if this is it, if this is all life is supposed to be? Despite wondering this more often, I still have this sense that ,this isn't it.  That this life isn't it.  These feelings or thoughts give me hope, because it reminds me that down deep in the soul of my being,my God has created in me an understanding of true hope. 

There is, in remembering him, of remembering that we are his and this world is not as it should be because of our sin, a great hope. That hope allows us the ability to dream of something better. To hope and dream without fear of the unknown. Jesus Christ is our greatest hope, the way the truth and the life.  With this in mind, I want to take action on the dreams in my heart and mind and without letting fear rule, instead I want to continually acknowledge The Lord my God. The best great hope of this life and the one who's grace allows me to put dreams and hope into action.

Panicky Branch.

Hebrews 2:14-18 NIV Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death---that is, the devil--- and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants. For this reason he had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people. Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted. Oh me of little faith, at least that is how I feel when I read scripture that remind me of the great work God has done. The question that comes to mind is how, if I believe that these things are true, should my life look, or how do I live? Things I'm sure of, first that Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the life, that I ...

The Truth of the Matter.

How had I come to believe, that the deep things of my heart and mind were not important? Who told me they didn’t care about the things I was feeling or thinking about? The truth of the matter was, that no one actually said I don’t care about what you think or feel, they just never bothered to ask. Never being asked is another way to let someone know that they are not valued. In response to some of the most important people in my life not bothering to pursue my young heart and mind, I believed I had nothing to offer or give that would be of any value to anyone else. I believed I was stupid. I heard it over and over in my heart and head with out a second of doubt of its truth. Not until my twenty sixth year did the truth that I believed about myself reveal it’s self as a lie. There were six of us who met each week, five younger women and our leader, a woman the five of us had approached to ask if she would be willing to let us learn from her and be mentored and guided ...

Being Aware of the Good Things.

There are lots of writers out there who have told us that we need to look at the good things in this life. I think it is hard to do that most of the time, due to the fact that the bad things are just always there no mater how hard we try and avoid them. So the bad finds us and we have to look for the Good. Pretty sucky! Anyhow, I spent some time looking for the good things and it is possable to find them. It gets easyer to find them the more you take time to find them. I guess that is true of a lot of things in life practice makes perfect or perserverence is needed or something like that.
