Dreaming
2008 October 8
I’m dreaming right now – the kind of dreaming that happens best with my eyes open, my mind alert, my heart engaged. I’m dreaming about my life – passions – possibilities – potential.
I guess I’m just at the place where if I don’t do something that moves me in the direction of my dream, then I’m not living…
Do you dream? Do you have a dream? What is it? Are you chasing after it?
I remember your dream from Whatever Wednesday and I think I am getting this…
This song was on my mind yesterday.
Check it out, it’s old school Michael Jackson, but I think Michael is singing about what you have been speaking.
Frederick Buechner defines vocation as “the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.”
Dream?
I’m the lady-in-waiting.
They also serve who only stand and wait. ~ Milton
Dream no small dreams for they have no power to move the hearts of men. ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
This is written on a wall in my daughter’s senior economics class. Oh how true!!!
Do you dream? ~Probably too much. I am definate daydreamer
Do you have a dream? ~ Yeah..
What is it?
I want to have an impact amongst my peers and other women… in just in everyday life. If I could finish my book WOW.. If I could pass down legacies for my children (especially my only daughter)
Are you chasing after it? Somedays and someday not.
Unfortuanately sometimes life gets in the way.
I want to dream but life keeps getting in the way.
My dreams aren’t realistic. When I begin to think maybe…just maybe…? Well, life comes crashing violently through the mist.
I dream of heaven. That one WILL come true.
hmmm. inspiring thoughts.
yes… all the time.
Life would be so boring less the dreaming. I dream of many things. Probably too many things.
I love that definition, Louise! My dream is about my vocation…I’m getting closer…but if I think about how far away it still is, I get so overwhelmed…
yes, I dream…. probably too much… usually I dream but that is where it ends. It is too easy for me to stay in the “what ifs” and never actually “do” anything about it.
Dreams…:) Oh yes of course:)
I think I would be better off in life if I looked at it as if it was this dreams with the good and the bad scenes…LOL:)
As far as my dreams…
I am making some big changes in my life right now, I am going after more what God wants from me, and for me, rather than what I am comfortable doing or being, or knowing…
I am working on association, who I talk to…are they people that will be an encouragement, and together help grow…or are they stagnant and stuck on the road with the constant pebble in their shoe?
I am working on the part of faith that takes you away to a place of rest and thought…like Jesus did before He was crucified, and while this is a tough place to be in…I am EXCITED to see what the outcome will be…its not without persecution, but I KNOW it will be worth it:)
Also, academically…I am studying with my friend every morning before class, without starbucks in hand…and its amazing that I am actually catching on to the concepts…they seem so hard, but then at another glace, they are a piece of cake!
And also at work…WAL-Mart is making BIG changes, they are getting rid of dead weight, without even contemplating the senority, and it is tough some nights, but I KNOW I can reach the goals they set for me each night.
Any other dreams…I guess I am still asleep.
i’m dreaming right now.
i’m dreaming of a happy world…a world of starbucks and bunnies.
[this stegall got NO sleep last night...and i have no idea what bunnies has to do w/ that, but they're pretty, and i like pretty things. and fluffy. hooray for fluffy]
Do I dream – yes.
Do I have a dream – yes.
What is it – to impact the world.
Are you chasing after it – yes – with the small things that I do everyday, the steps that I take, the words that I write, the words that I chose to speak or not speak, all with the thought that everything matters.
I am chasing my dream by living a mission trip daily in my own home for my wife and kids – and as a result for me.
I am chasing a dream by praying in unison with my brothers and sisters, in church, or by myself.
I am chasing a dream by choosing to make a difference in the life of someone, somewhere, at some point.
I am chasing a dream with God help – for I am not strong enough otherwise. My steps may be small, but they trickle down.
I feel sure I have a dream I’m just not exactly sure what it is yet.
It seems like I’m getting glimpses here and there – like a have a few random puzzle pieces but without the big picture on the box I’m unsure how they fit together yet.
I am taking violin lessons right now. It has been a dream to learn for the last 20 years. I have been putting it off because I thought I was too old. The way I look at it now is in 10 years I will be a decent 44 year old violin player!
I dream…of making an impact on this world, whether it’s the world immediately around me, or the world across oceans, or both…of working in psychology (in one form or another) for the rest of my life…of having a family…of providing for more than just my family.
Of course, the specifics are still unclear to me.
But I like to think I’m working toward them.
Last night I dreamed I got to play in the snow. I miss the snow.
Awake dreaming, yes. Most of my life I am living in a dream… and I am only 2 years into my 30s. But I have soooooo many more dreams.
I like this post of yours.
Sometimes I feel like I dream more than I actually live.
I have so many dreams.
I’m doing what I know how to in order to live out these dreams, but sometimes its very difficult to pursue my dreams when my life is so loud. : (
Yes.
Yes.
Opening an orphanage home for girls in a developing country.
Yes—it’s a dream worth chasing!
i’d love to hear your dream(s)…
