Proverbs 1-3; Romans 7

I don't dream anymore....
I don't know that I ever really have. I went through a period of time where I thot I was creative and maybe if I tried..but I don't think I am creative enough to dream.
I am not dissatisfied or dreamless and stagnate...I don't think anyway.

I am surrounded by beauty....my kids, my grands.....I am surrounded by beauty and brokenness and see the beauty there more than I ever have. I love to encourage those that are broken, have been battered and bruised by life. I love to encourage them to find YOU. I love to watch the beauty come alive when they realize You were never lost. I love to be a part of transformation that comes in that discovery. If I did dream it would be for more and more of those experiences, those contacts....that in those discoveries there would be more and more people seeing the beauty in brokenness and that we would become a people of You...that maybe I get to play a small part in anothers discovery....experience.....their touching the lives and experiences of others......I pray to become more prayerful about that...to become more intentional about my relationships and that in that prayer and intentionality You will do what You do so well.....so maybe i do dream....:)

Proverbs 1: 7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline. Having been a fool I pray to come into contact with more and more like me and that I wouldn't be discouraged by their walls and walk with them towards discovering that fear.....I wonder.....where is my fear right now?? I wonder if my lack of dreaming indicates that?? I wonder how I can give away something I don't have?? I wonder

Proverbs 2: 1 My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you,
2 turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding,
3 and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding,
4 and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure,
5 then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God.
And here it is, years of reading Your Word.....learning to listen now....to be obedient to all that you command...whoa command....I have found the hidden treasure now what am I doing with it??

counterintuitive today in every thot, every action .......Proverbs 3: 5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

and then all of Romans 7.....much making sense today...I will Abba hold all this deep in my heart and in that holding trust wherever it is You lead.....I will follow today Abba...I will in the holding and yeielding trust and follow....yikes
