Tonight I was thinking about all the dreams I have, all the things that I wish for someday and how I'd feel if I didn't have those things. Selfish thoughts of a selfish person. Don't get me wrong, I don't want anyone to think that it's wrong to dream, but when you spend so much time dreaming about things in this world and how you want your life to be, there will be many disappointments. I was washing my hair thinking about how I would love to live in the country, on a nice sized piece of land with lots of flowers and trees, with a horse or two in the barn and some chickens. I want to be comfortable money-wise. I want to marry Thomas and have a loving family. All of these things are not wrong to want, they're all very good things. Most people want things like that in life. It's a cozy and practical dream and it's not impossible, parts of it are actually likely to happen to me, of which I am grateful for. As I was washing my hair thinking about all of those lovely things, it finally hit me. Why am I spending so much timing dreaming about things of this world that may or may not happen when I could be dreaming about what Heaven will be like, and how much more satisfied I'll be there? I can't believe I've spent so much time thinking about all of these transient things, that will never please me as much as what my Heavenly Father has created for me in a much more important place; My home. I wonder if he'll have a starstruck sky at night, and a beautiful sun during the day, with green leaves in the trees and beautiful blooming flowers of every color imaginable. Although my eyes have been opened yet again to where my treasures should be storing up, I will still continue to dream of my life and the years to come, hoping, wishing, and praying that I get little slices of heaven along the way. I will still have dreams in my head, knowing that God is putting them there to help bring out more of his master plan for my life.
Waiting Patiently for the Kingdom of Heaven,
A Daughter of God.
