Dream On!

Last night I juggled between finales of the Biggest Loser and Dancing with the Stars!  I was so excited going into that evening, and I'm not a big fan of most TV shows!  I realized as I pondered the evening and why I was moved almost to tears several times, as I have been all season, that what gets to me is the hope realized!  I want that with my biggest goals!
  
Other than going to Heaven surrounded by everyone I love....which isn't a goal that is mine to realize, my biggest goals are to lose weight and become healthy and become a fruitful writer!  Actually, even those goals are not completely mine to realize!  In fact, the very air that I breathe is provided for me by my gracious Heavenly Father, who gave me life.  And, even as I shed tears for the victory of the contestants on the Biggest Loser, and got a little emotional for even the frivolous dancers on Dancing with the Stars, I kept turning to the weather channel to watch the powerful and terrible destruction from the tornadoes in the midwest.  Life is a gift, life is fragile, and even what we accomplish is only through the grace of God, who is the author and perfector of our faith, the giver of life itself and the origin and fulfiller of our every hope and dream!

Dream on, but never ever stop asking God for His help and direction!
