"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house." Matthew 5:14-15

"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it." Matthew 13:45-46

A Kernel of a Dream

We all have hopes and dreams buried deep within our hearts. Years ago I had the hope and desire to have children. After two years of trying to get pregnant, experiencing a miscarriage, I finally was pregnant with our first son. A few years later our second son arrived on the scene.

As I think back over my 42 years of life, I realize that I have had many dreams. Some were just a child's fantasy, others have rooted deep into my heart and still are awaiting fruition. Often times there are things that come along that try to discourage or dissuade me from those kernels of hope. I have learned that if my dreams are ones that come from the Lord, they remain as long as I am seeking His will.

What hopes and dreams do you have?

Some have come about, some haven't. Some are on standby. I'd love to travel and speak more often, but that might wait until my munchkins are taller.

Found you through Natalie...great blog.

I'm living my dream, but I know there is more to come. I think I'd like to speak some too, but for now, I'm good just doing what I'm doing.

Keep dreaming!
