Ravings of a Picky Girl

“All my dreams do not compare to my Savior’s arms…you’ll find me there…”
As I was singing those words this morning the realization of what I was saying really hit me. I have many dreams…some of them so big for little me that I get scared of not being able to see them come true in my own strength. I’ve fallen into the trap of measuring myself by means of human success –the things that I’ve accomplished and many failed attempts- and I send myself on never ending guilt roadtrip for being my own worst enemy. But today, if I got something out of the words that were spoken at church, I found out that Godly success focuses in the process… the valuable lessons that we learn on the journey to our dreams. Why God chose to do things the way He did? That is beyond my comprehension. One thing I understand though…one thing I believe…like I was singing this morning, all my dreams – both small and grandiose alike – are nothing when compared to having a relationship with God. When all seems lost, there is nowhere else I rather be than in His arms. I want to accomplish the dreams that have been born in my heart, mind, soul and spirit. But I pray for myself –and for every person- that my focus shifts from finding myself a successful person by the amount of dreams I get to fulfill, to finding true satisfaction in the things God wants to teach me along the way.
