Sweet Dreams




Dreams have been underestimated for so long, but they are the propelling force that keeps us motivated in accomplishing and reaching unimaginable heights. I have had dreams sporadically all throughout my young life but I have forgotten 99% of them all. I never truly valued them, and I gave up on my dreams and their meanings.

... But now I feel a stirring in my Spirit, like never before.

God is a God of second chances and He has given me new dreams (wrote them down this time) and has revived my old dream. He has shown me that what is done is done and I have no choice but to live for tomorrow. He has also helped me realize that He makes all things new and that with/through/by Him, all things are beyond possible; even those unimaginable. I finally found a loving hope and a sure grace that has opened my eyes to finally see... no, I mean truly see beyond the facts to the truth. Martin Luther King Jr. once said He had a dream, but God has blessed me with dreams (MY GOD!!!). I haven't fully grasped the magnitude of this revelation and it keeps coming to me slowly but steadily; the little bits I've got is already mind blowing. I've prayed that I don't lose this new found hope and that my Faith and hope will keep waxing stronger.

Sweet Dreams are truly made of this...

My Soul's Relief


My soul has finally found relief and my mind is at peace. I'm finally shedding off all the lies, darkness and deceit that have been holding me back. I've always been a private, secretive, "internalizing everything" kind of person. I'm learning that with every secret kept, the devil finds someplace to lurk and wait, or possibly make his nucleus/starting ground for all the self challenges/sins that we fall into. I realized that healing comes with exposing the lies and dark secrets, which in turn gives room for light in your life. I love you God... I feel the need to burst out and scream it because You have delivered me and loved me even when I didn't love myself.

Do you know what it is like to bare your inner-most secrets and truths to someone? ...but not just anyone, someone you trust with everything that is dear to you and God (heart and life), someone who can encourage and help you grow in your deliverance. It is the most difficult thing I have ever had to do and the most intimate thing that I have ever done or shared with another human being. At first I believed that I didn't need to share my being/soul with someone because I had God who could fill those shoes and He will forgive me and I will move on. This is true, but God showed/taught me that his healing comes in different avenues and He places people in your life to help you through that process. I feel more than gratitude, my heart is leaping out of my chest in thanksgiving to my Maker whose love, even though I've felt, my mind still cannot fully comprehend but that my heart and soul desires for. I love you God... thank you for loving me.
