He is the life giver, and the sin bearer. The way maker, and the healer. Without Him there is no dream, no life, no future, no love. With Him, life begins anew, dreams are rekindled, hope refreshed, the holes in our hearts filled, leaks stop leaking, and we begin to soar again. <BR/>amen amen amen..that was beautiful.

We believe God gives us dreams, plants them right in your soul and the Holy Spirit prompts you with longing to see them fulfilled. That is how we ended up in Alaska. My dream, my longing--fulfilled. No matter everyone said don't do it! You'll be sorry! What if, what if, what if! I heard and felt the stirring of my spirit for YEARS and vividly lived in Alaska in my dreams.<BR/><BR/>We believe you must decrease (humble yourself, ask God for help and direction) so God can increase. When that happens you are free to hear his still, small voice whispering exactly what needs to be done to fulfill your dreams, which are really His dreams for your life.Grandma Tillie's Bakeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04347610921670487366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559227461484344655.post-31798199958189287082008-05-19T07:51:00.000-07:002008-05-19T07:51:00.000-07:00The idea is to provoke thought, and I apreciate ea...The idea is to provoke thought, and I apreciate each one of these responses.Karen Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05892103639142471595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559227461484344655.post-58719142324182571422008-05-19T07:46:00.000-07:002008-05-19T07:46:00.000-07:00I think our dreams change.

Now that 2 are out of the nest, 2 in high school and one in middle school I realize the years of mothering (while at home at least) are almost done. That is why I am going to college. I think it is great to have old dreams fulfilled and then make new ones.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811548306583601019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559227461484344655.post-77096925734262052872008-05-18T19:51:00.000-07:002008-05-18T19:51:00.000-07:00Lovely.

When a child feels nurtured, special, and wanted they blossom. What happens to those children who never experience that, or worse experience pain at the hands of their would benprotectors? Their loves tanks are not only empty, they are shot full of holes; even if your filling them, they are full of leaks. What happens to the dreams of these? What happens to the little girl who gets teased that she's ugly, whose Beauty does she become? <BR/><BR/>It depends on the little girl...at some point in life she has to make a decision...and she has to find it inside and with any luck God is a part of it... she decides that the little song we sang as kids "sticks and stones may break bones but words can never hurt me" is really true in a way...I guess some lies in the individual taking responsibility for their actions and reactions to all that life dishes out... If that little abused girl that i was wanted to wallow in self pity and do nothing I could have and would have garnered the sympathy of all who ever knew me but, in my teens I decided I would not be the victim and that I would darn well be who and what ever I wanted... was it easy? NO WAY have all of my choices been the right ones ?NOPE do I always think first even now? Nope again I am still a very flawed falliable human but, I have something that only God could give me and that is Forgiveness. HIS Forgiveness...I started at 17 and totally believed God hated me so I hated him too... but I still refused to curl up and die even though many times I tried to kill myself (through drinking and drugs) and <BR/><BR/>Have I told you lately that I love your posts they make me think... ALOT... now I have to stop as I don't want to give away my story... I want to keep it going as it is A year at a time... and year two is probably the best year... the ones coming up are rough... very rough...<BR/>love n hugs LauraLaura ~Peach~https://www.blogger.com/profile/06436851234824883774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559227461484344655.post-18290631787784587912008-05-18T19:32:00.000-07:002008-05-18T19:32:00.000-07:00That was a very thought provoking post.

Years ago, just after it was released and Wild at Heart had already made a huge difference in my husband's life, I led a summer women's study on Captivating. It changed the thinking of many of us and was part of God teaching me to be the me He made me to be. Wonderful book.Fleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03412755038083750088noreply@blogger.com
