This post is long overdue, but hey, it’s never too late.
It has been weeks since I’ve changed my blog’s header. And
for weeks, I have been trying to come up with something to blog about the new
header but I failed terribly. However, a few days ago, when I was reading a
borrowed ‘Soul Surfer: Rise Above’ devotional book, an idea just hit me hard on
the head like a brick.
Dreaming is something I’m fond of doing. Dreaming gives me
another chance to face the harsh reality. Dreaming the wildest dreams make me
laugh at myself, but hey, that’s what dreams are suppose to do – to
make you happy –, right?
It’s never wrong to dream. In fact, “it’s good to have
dreams. But we have to put our hope and faith into something that can’t suddenly
disappear. We, I included, need a strong foundation to build our dreams and
future plans on” – exert from devo book. I dream often. And my dreams can be as
big as Cinderella’s castle but have I placed it on the right ground?
I’m sure everyone is familiar with the two builders’ story.
One of the men built his house on sand. The other man built his on rocky
ground. When the storm came, the house that was built on sand came tumbling
down, whereas the other one stood tall and strong. Wouldn’t it be a waste of time
and effort if all our dreams come falling down when the storm comes?
So, where then? Where do you and I build our dreams? “Nothing
really lasts except God’s love. If you build your hopes and dreams and your
life on Him, you’ll always be on solid ground and able to survive life’s
challenges.” There you have it. Build your dreams on God – the solid rock.
I desire to get straight As in PMR and my God says, “I can
do all things through Him who gives me strength” (Phil 4:13). I guess my desire is valid. I
dream of settling down one day and there’s a saying, “A woman’s heart should be
hidden in God, that a man must seek Him to find her.” As long as I plant my
dreams on the right ground, I don’t have to worry about the storm anymore.
Right here, I just want to say that albeit there are 7billion++
people in the world, God knows each of our heart’s desire and He will grant
them as long as we delight ourselves in Him.
So, have you found your rock solid foundation yet?

I’m a dreamer who dream dreams with happy endings. But I
reckon my biggest dream is to inspire; to be able to influence somebody; to be
able to make someone stop and think before doing something; to be able to make
someone feel happy and encouraged; to be able to make a difference; to be able to have an effect on a person; to simply just inspire.
Till then,
Keep dreaming. (:
