Dreams of Destiny

Do you have dreams?   Do you believe deep down that that you have a special gift that can touch others in a special way that can make a difference???

What has happened to those dreams???  Have they got lost in the routine of daily life, the frustrations, the disappointment's......... and whatever else life throws our way???

It's time to dream again and to start those journeys of a hope and a future.

"A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step."

Today by faith I start to dream again, today I choose to begin that journey - some of my dreams will be journeys that will take fewer steps than others, whilst some are going to be a far longer  journey with probably many stops and starts along the way.   We need to start with small beginnings as from those great things can develop.

"...... And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."   Anais Nin

Often life and circumstances bury our dreams and we feel as if they have died  Job puts it so well "For there is hope for a tree when it is cut down, that it will sprout again, and its shoots will not fail.  Though its roots grow old in the ground and its stump dies in the soil, at the scent of water it will flourish and put forth sprigs like a plant."  We need to get a scent of those buried dreams and start to revive and refresh them and begin that journey towards them once again one step at a time, one day at a time.
