No one goes through life without dreams...they are just a part of who we are. Little girl dreams begin when we put on mama's dress and high heels, play school with our friends or pretend we are getting married. Dreams of a woman continue when we see a beautiful dress, watch a movie with enticing scenery and imagine ourselves in it, or when we read a novel and wish we were the character being portrayed. Dreams are lived vicariously through our friends and family. That's why everyone wants to be a part of the winning team. As women we dream when we look in the mirror and wish for beauty. We dream of our wedding day and motherhood. Perhaps, we dreamed for a better family, a dad who was loving, a mom who was kind, clothes that weren't hand me downs, or a friend who called YOU "best". For many of us we have carried these dreams from one season of life to another only to realize that they are not being fulfilled. They are not possible, someone has stolen them or shattered them and we resent who we are. Worse then resenting who we are is resenting those we blame for our stolen dreams....Yuck...that is the ugly truth. But, there is hope...we can have new dreams everyday and we have promises in *scripture that remind us that God sees all, will bring righteous judgment where we have been wronged, and that He does not forsake those who seek him. If your dreams as a woman have been shattered, stolen, or you have made choices that keep them out of reach... approach the throne of grace with confidence so you may find help in your time of need.
*Prov. 5:21, 2 Thessalonians 1:5-10, Psalm 9:10
