This week-end was a very eventful one, I was invited to a wedding, my sister got proposed to, i was asked countless times by different people what my plans in life are, I spoke to most of you guys (o and a-levelers) asking you what your study plans are.. i.e.. wot ur dreams are. And that's exactly what this post is about.
We all have our dreams, some dreams change, others remain constant throughout our life, some disappear by time, others come true. Dreams are what give us a vision to hang on to and to work for. it is a final destination we aspire to reach. It is what gives us the motivation and energy to do somthing (i.e.. study).
Often we get put down as people criticise our dream and tell us we are not capable of achieving it. Well.. never believe that! It's like a hurdle race. Before you go down on track you've got the warm up, (the planning and setting out your vision), when you're at the start-off line, it's all exciting and your aspirations are high. You're full of energy, and your destination is straight ahead... then the gun shot goes and you start running, but hey! There are hurdles; each time you approach a hurdle you must get together all the energy you have to jump it in one swift move. Then you get conscious about he other runners, and realise some are born to run and it seems to be just a peice of cake to them... then the spectators around you.. you realise how the majority are not supporting you but the other runners.. however you keep going. You know its what you're meant to be doing. And you know you're capable of doing it. And you're going to reach that destination line no matter what! When you finally do... it suddenly hit you. You've made it, you've reached your goal! How? Cause you believed!!!!! But its never a one-man race. There's always the coach behind it all! You were probably just playing a b'ball game once and he spotted the way you run and jump and he visualised your dream before you ever did! Then he called you aside and set out your dream on a silver platter, it was up to you to accept. All through your training, mood swings, injuries.. he's the one who kept spurring you on and who believed in you the most. And that's exactly what God does. He's got our dream in mind. He presents it to us, and its up to us to accept. When we do accept, He supports us fully, He runs with us all the way, encourages us, believes in us, heals our injuries, and gives us the energy to go on no matter what!

These are the lyrics to a song, by Michelle Tumes "Dream"
I believe there is divine imagination
Give it wings for it created aviation
Every little hop you’re holding inside
Every little gleam you keep in your eyes
A dream, yeah, a dream

Before a seed became a flower there was a vision
The dream is planted deep, He’ll shower it with wisdom
Flowing with love that’s making you smile
You’ve waited in your faith you’ve dreamed your whole life
Your soul begin to fly

There’s a dream in your heart
And His heart is your prayer
You can move mountains with your life in His hands
He’ll tear down the walls and He’ll walk where you can’t
Have faith in the power to believe
He’s given you a dream

I pray you dream will leap beyond your expectations
You’ll see miracles He has no limitations
Listen to His voice a spark will ignite
Let Him be the strength to carry your life
He’ll raise your spirit high

You will find the bloom beneath the sunshine
Reach inside and sail to His horizon
Every little hope you’re holding inside
Every little gleam you keep in your eyes
You’ve waited in your faith you’ve dreamed your whole life
Let your soul begin to fly

Faith in the power to believe
He has given you a dream
Faith in the power to believe
Gotta have faith in the power to believe
He has given you a dream
Faith in the power
