Dream On

Bookmark and Share

Just watched The Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl with the kids tonight. About the wierdest movie I've ever seen. But I loved it because it was all about dreaming with your eyes open.

Two thoughts were worth blogging:

"When your dream becomes reality, reality becomes a dream."

"Dream a better dream. Then work to make it real."

I think the movie resonated with me because so many dreams are becoming reality right now. The coffeehouse dream. The writing dream. The church dream. And I'll do a blog release next week about an entreprenurial dream that will become reality in T-minus two weeks.

God is super-sizing my dreams!

I think that's one byproduct of being Spirit-filled: you dream God-sized dreams.

In the words of Aerosmith: dream on.

Pastor,

You might like this one... A friend of mine says "When you fail to work towards your dreams, they become mere fantasies." :p

Great thought.

In my personal experience, dreams become burdens if we don't act on them. That's how I felt about writing for thirteen years. I felt called to write, but the dream became this fifty pound monkey on my back! The longer I went wihtout fulfilling it the more it drove me apes.
