I can remember laying in bed as a child in the midst of poverty and despair. The only thing I wanted in life was a cozy home in the western edge of town and to be in a “nice” neighborhood . I wanted my family to have a car so that walking was not my only option and I wanted a beautiful wardrobe. That was all a dream. I did not have any of those things at that time, it was all just wishful thinking. At the time, I was not built up to believe that my life would be any more than getting married to someone who worked at the tire plant and maybe having a couple of kids by age 25. That was all that was handed to me. Now, here I am at age 40 and what I always hoped for has come. I live in the nice part of town in my own home. I own a reliable car. I have two closets full of clothing and I am the most secure that I have been in my life. To forget what God has already done, is just to keep me living in the state of poverty that I grew up in. No, some of my desires are sitting in my living room and in my driveway. I am not in the same place that I was before and I am grateful. To keep your eyes peeled on what you don’t have is to live in a state of poverty all your life. At some point, you have to say that it is finished. God has kept his promises to me and I now move into a place of simple enjoyment. I may not be where I want to be, but thank God that I am not where I used to be. God has greatly prospered my way. The best is yet to come.
Why don't you take a praise break and raise your hands for the dreams he has already made come true. God is still a dreamcatcher.
