Deep Reflections

I am sitting here listening to Rascel Flatts as I am writing this to you. I love his music. I know...I am such a country girl. I love it! Country music is fun and most of the time depending on the artist their music tells a story. Sometimes their stories are sad or encouraging. Then there are those songs that make you just want to get up and dance!

I don't know guys, I do have to say that I have been in a strange mood today. I'm not sure what it is but I think I'm afraid...afraid of lo0sing the dream. Loose everything I have worked so hard for. I mean I have come so far and I am almost there, but I feel like I'm slipping. I feel like Joseph. I mean he had a dream, but really how important was it to him? He fought for that dream. I mean he went from slave, to prision, to being king. So no doubt he certainly had to face some major giants. He had to decide, "Ok, really how important is this dream to me?" I guess now here I am asking me the same question. This drem is very important to me, but I'm tired of fighting. I am always getting knocked down. But I guess that is what makes the fight worth while. Was she able to withstand the trials and tribulations of her life to reach the finish line?
Yes, my friends, as hard as it is, you as my witness, I have a dream. A dream to be the best teacher anyone has ever seen. A dream to see children reach their full potential and their deepest desires come true. I will live to see that dream come to pass. I will just keep running to the finish line without looking back. I have always been a fighter, since the first day I was born. I am not going to give up. So my dear ones, I will meet you at the finish line with the grand prize in my arms, held high for all to see!

Lord, I pray that You will help me and give me strength to reach that finish line. Renew my strength so that I can fly like an eagle! Teach me that when people say, "The joy of the Lord is my strength!" to live it out. I love You Lord and know that with You by my side I can get through anything that will come my way. Thank you for being me this far. I know You will be there too waiting for me at that finish line. I can't wait! Too see that beautiful face! See You there! :)
