I have recently thought about my childhood. Pictures of water covering my feet in the early months of summer to the rain pouring down on me after dance class come to my head when I revisit the early years of my life. Let’s go back in time for a while. I grew up into a child dreamer. I decided to make this post about my childhood dreams, at least my top ten.
1) I dreamt to be married one day.
When I was five I decided that I was going to marry “my Prince Eric” from Little Mermaid. He was handsome, free, and just amazing. I loved pretending that one day I would meet him and dreamed every word out of his mouth to me. I was obsessed over the fact that one night it would be my turn to be beautiful.
2) I dreamt to be a mommy.
Oh how my desire to be a mommy burned inside of me. It was my passion to raise kids and I was glad when my mom gave me three younger siblings. I would watch her every move and be amazed how she made it look so easy. I had cabbage patch kids named, taken care of, and ready for life every day. I was so proud of myself when I started babysitting.
3) I dreamt to change the world with the power of Christ’s love.
I was baptized, committed my life, and ready to change the world when I was ten years old. I would dream of how God would use my life to bring glory to the kingdom.
4) I dreamt to be a Kindergarten teacher.
Since I am patient with children five and under I want to be a kindergarten teacher. It seems like the best job on this planet.
5) I dreamt to be a mermaid.
I love mermaids but do not believe them.
6) I dreamt to work for Disney.
Whether it is a parade or a show, I have always been interested in Disney. They inspire me to try harder. It brought back a sense of comfort and a warm blanket of encouragement. I love Disney!
7) I dreamt to travel the world.
I want to go to China, Africa, South America, and New York. I want to see things outside of my zone. I know God created this Earth beautifully and I want to see it.
8) I dreamt to have my own tree house.
It seems like every child has a tree house. I still until this day want a tree house, a place of my own to pray, worship, and to be by myself.
9) I dreamt to be the best I can be.
My parents raised me to be one that strives. I live for a challenge and ask for no reward. I do things to the best and the even beyond. My family was founded on the principle of doing the absolute best in every situation.
10) I dreamt to take naps for the rest of my life.
I enjoy naps, especially on Sundays.
You see I have dreams from my childhood that still stick to me. Everything is possible with God. He will be able to fulfill your heart. Trust in the Lord because He has BIG things in store for you. Your Heavenly Father wants you to be happy; He yearns for His children happiness. Follow Him in all areas of your life not just today but your whole life.
Matthew 25:21
“Come and share your master’s happiness!”
Colossians 2:10
“And you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority.”
I love this blog. :)
