There is a time for everything, and a season for every purpose under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.

~ Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

A Time to Dream

If I were to dream...

My hair is tied back in a ponytail, flying a bit crazily in the wind that whistles around me. My face is tanned and the smile on my lips echoes the sparkle in my eyes. The joy I feel is unmatched, undeserved, and oh so beautiful. And I feel beautiful. My God has brought me here, and I am once again unencumbered and free to be the ‘me’ that he so lovingly created.

Did I mention the overwhelming joy?

Yes, dreaming lights in my soul. Though dim for now, it threatens to burst through, leaving in its wake many crazy ideas and adventures to seriously consider. But why not? Why not dream?

Why not dream?
