Thats where thinking started where thinking stopped where all her prayers so long ago had dried up. She no longer prayed nor even dreamed of changing her father. Her dreams now played variations on the theme of escape. And they were nothing more than that just dreams just play. Shed been alone at the end of her dreams so many times before and never had God helped her escape her father because God couldnt because she would never escape her need to love him.

Dream all that you can possibly dream.Dreams can come true.

Life requires more doing than dreaming of doing to make a dream reality.

One of the greatest things parents can do for their children is to believe in themtheir uniqueness and help them realize their own God-given dreams

Never apologize for who you are and what you do and more especially never apologize for dreaming big even if they dont come true. Many will criticize you and call you names but hey its your life its your dream. Make it happen.

... and you might say no you will never do that thats not you not who I know not who I thought you wereand I will saywatch mefor I never did this to fit inor stand outbut to live.

Since words elude me when I need them most I learned long ago that I cannot count on QUALITY time with God when I want to pray. I need QUANTITY and regularity. Quality is not something I can predict. My husband Andy and I might schedule an elaborate evening out with candles and a gourmet meal but there is no guarantee that well have a wonderful time together -- chopping onions peppers die by side in the kitchen reading together on the couch sitting on the front step watching our sons ride bikes and making plans for our life together.

Real dream is louder and it will wake you up from your sleep

No matter how talented or skilled you are you will never reach your full potential without expert guidance.

The outcome is not up to you. The outlook is.
