Dreams...

So, these are photos of the new house my husband and I bought in Sept. of 09. We are loving having our own home. I love living life with David and accomplishing our dreams as 'Dotsons' together, dreams we talked about when we were 16 and in Loooove. By the way, I love red and turquois together. So we went all out!

Lately, I've been thinking of my life's dreams. I've been thinking how they've been steady/stable my whole life. Getting married, studying music, traveling, writing songs, performing, recording, ministering though music. Even though things around me change my dreams stay the same... After decades, even! As I try my hand at them, and keep trying my hand at them I realize that these things must have been put inside of me when I was being knit together in mother's womb. There's no way I'd put myself in these vulnerable, and costly situations unless I was hardwired to withstand the 'journey' of accomplishing these things for a greater glory. What an honor to endure for this cause. How encouraging to hear of others who've gone before and 'accomplished' what was put inside of them. It spurs me on to complete the task before me! Thanks friends, for your encouragement.

When I graduated High School, ten years ago, we were supposed to fill out this form for our Yearbook. We had to put a quote or saying that meant something to us... I put, "The things that mean the most to us are the memories that we make along the way." Meaning that the big world was at our feet. Life was more about the journey than the destination. My prayer today is that the Lord would remind me to enjoy the journey.
