Have you ever dreamed an impossible dream? I mean the kind of dream that is so big and impossible, that you don’t even want to tell anyone about it, because they will think you are crazy.
Has this dream ever kept you up at night?
Has this dream ever made you cry, because it was so big, that it was beyond yourself or ability?
I tend to dream dreams that are beyond my natural reach. I dream big and sometimes my dreams taunt me.
I am about to cry right now thinking about it.
I do not want my dreams to stay in their dream state… I want them to become reality.
But when?
Wait, hope, Pray.
Before your dreams become reality, your dreams must go on a journey.
It is the journey that strengthens and grows you to be worthy of living out that dream.
However, that same journey brings the most pain as well.
The wait is horrid, because there is no guarantee.
When you have a dream, you are stepping out in faith. You do not know the outcome. It’s a risk and all you can do is hope.
It is exciting to believe in your dreams, but it is also painful.
Wait, hope, pray
It is painful to believe in your dreams when the people around you doubt it.
The hurt comes when someone tells you that your dream is not possible, and that you should pursue something that is more tangible.
The worst part comes when you, begin to doubt your dreams. The process of trying to juggle the emotions and thoughts that run through your mind. You want to believe, but it’s too hard and painful. “What if’s” and the question “HOW”, seem to pop up everywhere. You begin to see your dream as impossible and yourself as crazy.
Wait, hope, pray
Then there is the process of working towards and pursuing your dreams.
You work, you hope, you work, you pray and repeat. You pursue and you work, with no knowledge of the time of arrival to your destination. There is no timeline for impossible dreams. You just keep going until it may or may not come to pass.
That is hard… and sometimes I grow weary. I get tired of hoping.
Sometimes it seems easier to just keep my dreams on my pillow. But, even that is hard. Because if I even allow a dream to enter my mind, then I want it to come to pass and I start the process over again.
Wait, Hope, Pray
So, do we not dream then? Do we give up and live a mediocre life, because we don’t want to be disappointed? Do we throw in the towel, because it is getting to hard to hope?
That decision is up to you. Do you want to live life with no dreams? Would you rather stay in the realm of comfort and so-called safety?
You can stay where you are ; but are you willing to give up where you could be?
I must ask myself the same questions. Is the risk of dreaming worth it?
Is the hope of my dreams coming true, worth the pain, work, sacrifice and faith that it will take to get there?
- I believe it is -
Prayer if you needed:
Lord, give me courage to pursue my dreams. Lord, help me to trust and cling to you in the process. Please give strengths to continue on and faith to believe in the impossible. I want my dreams to become reality and I can not do it without you .
In the name of Jesus I pray Amen.
