This morning I woke up and told Heath I had a dream in which we had just bought a new camera. This might not be every girl's dream, but it sure is mine! Last month I attended a photography conference in Vegas and had my hands on a beautiful new DSLR with an amazing lens to match. I can't remember the rest of this morning's dream, but it also had something to do with my brother skydiving. (Trav, are you planning to jump out of airplanes instead of biking through Kansas?)
Yesterday I had a dream about church. Is it sacrilegious to have dreams about the communion bread being small french fries? Note: if this ever happens to you, make sure you wait to partake of the bread until the cup has been passed, otherwise you have nothing to dip into the ketchup. (And no, that's not what we had dinner the night before!)
The better (more redeeming?) part of yesterday's dream was when Heath leaned over in the church pew and told me to write a substantial amount on our offering check. We both smiled in thanksgiving that we could give back from what we had been given. Oh, to dream big!
And yet, some dreams do come true.
Seven years ago I had a very distinct dream about marrying a tall man with brown hair, strong hands and smiling blue eyes. In the dream we enjoyed life together with fun and laughter. At that time, I knew I hadn't met the man of my dreams, but now I know he was definitely worth the wait. A week from today we will already celebrate our first year of marriage!
There are other dreams I have held close to my heart that are in the midst of coming true. For years I have dreamed of owning a studio in which I could offer art therapy, counseling, spiritual direction, art workshops, and a family portrait session or two. While the studio space isn't a reality yet, I am in the process of starting a private practice for counseling and spiritual direction. I recently held my first spiritual formation art retreat. I feel both honored and excited to be doing these things now and can't wait to do more.
I am looking forward to more dreams, and I'll do my best to keep you posted.
