Sorry its been a while but I've had a lot on my plate lately (in a good way). First, let me tell you I have been listening to Joel Osteen (pastor of lakewood church) and my thinking is slowly changing. I am changing how I function. I have this calm peaceful feeling overcoming me- I can't explain it. I think this is what it must feel like to take antidepressents- only this is a spiritual pill. I am trusting God's plan for me. One of the biggest things I get from Joel is not to settle for mediocraty in your life. God wants you to have the biggest blessing and most blessed life you can. What does it require? Faith in God's plan. Trusting Him. We all have those doubts- what we can and can't achieve. I mean people TELL us to our face (yes to me to- even by people that we care about) what we can and cannot do. What our limits, strengths, and weaknesses are- but can those people tell God what HIS limits are? It's not what you can or cannot do- its what God can fulfill in your life. Fullfilling your dreams requires taking a chance and putting yourself in uncomfortable situations. Putting yourself on the line- and in God's hands. Do you have a little dream seed? Waiting to sprout?
My dreams are seeming to becoming closer to me. Joel talks about "handfuls on purpose". It goes back to story of Ruth from the Bible- when she was collecting the leftover wheat from the fields- and the owner told his worker to leave her some "on purpose". Well, those handfuls are coming my way. Only by God's grace.

We used to watch Joel all the time on TV! We even got to see him once when he came to Dallas. I've always wanted to go to Houston to visit his church. It's a 5 hour drive from here.
I heart him! I wanted to go one year when he came to Cleveland but I never made it. That would be awesome just to go see his church!
