What is your dream?

[Kabowd]

This may seem rather simple but my dream would be:

- to be the wife and best friend of a godly man who loves the Lord, and loves me

- to be the mother of godly children who grow to have a heart for God and change the world

Thanks for the welcome Willow. Yes, I did get my engineering degree, I then landed a pretty good job and stayed there for just 9 months then resigned. Well, I guess "threw away" is a pretty strong phrase, but what I'm doing now has nothing to do with engineering. You're right though, if I had to do it to pursue my dream or if I needed to go back to it for some reason, it'd still be there.

1. I want to learn my native language. (I guess that isn't hard, just have to track down a reliable teacher or program or something.)

2. I want to live in my native country for a few years, reconnect and whatnot. (Yet again, not horribly difficult, just need to gain the monetary funds.)

3. haha, same as that girl before, I've always wanted to be a photographer/journalist for National Geographic. I've been fascinated by the photographs in that magazine since I was 4.

4. I want to live in a temple in Tibet, a truly secluded one, un-tainted by western influences.

5. Peace corps. Africa specifically. This can be easily fufilled though.

6. Biggest most unrealistic dream is an insane amount of money. Because money rules the world. And with enough money you can do just about anything. I'd buy a country. An entire country. It would be fun running my own country. It would have to be tropical. So I could grow mangoes, coconuts, plantanes, etc. tropical fruit is my favorite, reminds me of Vietnam

7. With thus said money, I'd buy Vietnam. SET MY PEOPLE FREE! just like Moses. It would be great. I'd buy the best in healthcare for all the diseased children harmed by american Agent Orange so they wouldn't have to die in excruciating pain at age 4. I'd buy mass housing for all the rice paddy workers that live under their t-shirts strung together over a stick, rice that we all eat at chinese resturants and in our homes. Man, i'd do alot.

I heard Joyce Meyer say something wonderful a couple days ago. She was talking about this very subject. She was encouraging everyone not to give up on their dreams. That there is always going to be someone to try to put a damper on your dream, but keep pressing on and wait on the Lord to bring it to pass. There are those people who might turn against you, who will be jealous, who will tell you that you can't do it...etc., etc.. Don't let them steal your dreams (don't let the devil use them to steal your dreams)

I am going to Ecuador very soon. I can hardly wait to go. I also just got a look at one of my poems on the very first page, and a full page, in a poetry book. Both these events are stirring my heart to step in the water a little bit deeper. That published book and passing out Bibles in China...all in the Lord's timing.

Thank You Lord!!
