We all have dreams. Maybe that dream is to become a doctor, police officer or fire fighter. Maybe when you were little it was something as silly as becoming a princess or a mad scientist. We all have dreams. My dream though, is to graduate from bible college. And I would've done anything to achieve that dream. I remember how hard I worked to make that dream come true. Literally I worked 12 hours almost every day for three months at a fast food restaurant just to save up enough money. I remember how I used to walk to work with holes in my shoes because I worked hard enough just to keep my job. Sometimes there were days that it rained and it rained hard. But no matter how hard it rained, I would have never let the storm get to me. I used to tell myself that through Christ, all things are possible because He gives me the strength to do so. In my eyes my God was big enough. But then one day, that dream went dimmed, and I lost that vision. What happened to my dream? I got sick, that's what happened. Things started to get overwhelming and I felt like I couldn't do it anymore. I lost my dream. And it hurt like nothing ever before. It didn't matter that I was sick, I just knew that I was giving up. I had felt as if my health, my condition, my disease was holding me back. But then one day I heard a message in church about dreams. It enlightened something within, to get back out there and try again, but with grace and strength of the Lord.
