Dreams

Been thinking about this one a lot lately.
I feel that since living at home and undergoing much strain in certain situations I have lost my dreams.....did I ever have any? Am sure that I did.
So something I am trying to do at the moment is to recapture those dreams, rediscover them and pursue them to discover if they are part of Gods plan.
1) To be rid of fear for the future. Not your normal conventional dream I know but something I have discovered is constantly in my subconcious. With all the talk regarding pensions and we are not saving enough for the future and never being able to afford a house of my own on my current wages this is something that I crave. Most certainly a dream I know God wants me to accomplish and something that will have to be tackled every day!
2) To gain more indepth knowledge of the Bible, maybe through Bible school. A friend of mine went to Torchbearers bible school in Sweden and talked about the tranquility, peace, silence and space that she had during this time. I crave that so much. To have an oppurtunity to be refreshed, equipped and challenged with no other distractions for a period of time.
3) To work abroad. Not enitrely sure where and doing what but it is a desire I have my heart. One thing i cannot imagine though is doing it alone. Which leads onto my other dream.
4) To be married. I desire to share my life with someone so much. To have a family and be part of a team. To have some one to share thoughts, dreams and struggles with and to be devoted to a God pursuing life with that one person.
5) To relearn the clarinet. This is one that I know I can get started on immediately, I just need to find a teacher!

Wow, great dreams.

I was once asked the question:
'If money and time were no problem, what would you love to do', and that inspired me to start dreaming, and realise what Father God has placed in my heart.

Even if dreams die, the Lord has the most wonderful way of bringing them back to life :o)

That would be great to meet you and Esther in London. She should have my new mobile number, but if not, it's on my website. :o)
