She laughs without fear of the future.

Dream

Do not be afraid  of the dreams in your heart. I have placed them there for a reason. 

God's calling is strong on everyone's life. He has placed strong aspirations in our hearts to make us yearn for Him more. We are all called to different things. We are all called to specific things. The Lord would not teach you how to love something and then tell you He does not want you to do anything with that. 

He longs to see our hearts fulfilled. He Longs to see us have blessed lives. 

It is extremely easy to look past the dreams and aspirations you have because it's easier to ignore them. It's easier to become settled in your life style. Changing what you do everyday is not easy. It's not easy to not just listen to yourself and take a nap instead of ministering to some-one. 

I want to be a woman that is not afraid to hear the Lord's voice and do what He says. I want to be a woman of obedience. 
I want my children to be blessed because I obeyed the Lord in the dreams and aspirations He placed in my heart. 

Psalms 33:4 For the word of the LORD is right and true; 
he is faithful in all he does.

Every love story is beautiful, but ours is my favorite.


A dream I have had since I even knew what marriage was- was to find the love of my life and spend the rest of my life with one amazing man and have a beautiful family. I always said  I would get married in my junior year of college... well there goes junior year and I am definitely not married!!


For years I struggled with the thought of being an old lady who would never get married and there never  being a man that would ever want me.  But like I said, that's just a fear. Not the truth.
I look at all of these young couples getting married so quckly, and I thikn why couldn't that be MY love story? Why couldn't I get married right when I met the man? But I quickly(not easily) learned, that is not the love story God has chosen for me.


For such a long time I would get anxious about meeting "the man", and the Lord would tell me "I'm preparing him still. He isn't ready for you." and I stood upon that strong truth.  

At times, I would sit in my little freshmen year dorm room telling the Lord this was taking a very long time… But in reality, the Lord is still teaching me things. He is still preparing me for that time of life.
Just because my love story doesn't look like everyone else's, that doesn't mean I don't get a beautiful love story written by God!! It means mine is different. That's it. Mine isn't less because Its doesn't look like all the other 21 year olds girls.  It means it was created just for me!



It's amazing how God can take us to such different places in our lives, yet he still has it all planned out.
I become more and more thankful that my love story isn't like anyone else's. It is THE Love story God has written for me. And only me.
