I have to share this picture. I don’t know why but it makes me giggle and it makes me feel empowered at the same time. When I look at this picture I feel like I’m looking at a mini-me from 25 years ago [which is ridiculous because I’m a brunette]
Each time I look at it, I quietly whisper, Do it! Go for it! Be a superhero in a tutu ~ You can if you want to. Go tricycle after your dreams and don’t let anyone stop you!” …and then, the moment fades. And I transition from that one happy thought to a moment where I laugh at myself. I ridicule the thought of me being a superhero in a tutu.
When did this become me?
When did I trade in my tutu for a frowny face?
John 10:10 says, “The thief comes only to steal, and kill, and destroy; I have come so that they may have life, and have it to the full.”
Wow. What a sweet, sweet promise. God promises to give us life abundantly, and He’s already warned us that the enemy lurks about, waiting to devour and destroy our dreams, Our hopes, and Our future.
Ladies, I IMPLORE you: Don’t take this topic lightly. Don’t lose sight of your dreams. And if it’s been a while since you’ve even felt the romance of dreaming – revive the feeling. Relive the memory. Get some new dreams and bring them to next week’s blog edition.
When your daughter sees you dream, it’s powerful and inspiring. When she sees you achieve your dreams, it’s empowering and encouraging. And when she watches you pursue your dreams, persevere, and overcome the challenges that stand between you and your dream(s) …well, it’s downright life changing!
