Dreaming/Sonanda I’ve kept a promise to myself by waiting patiently on the man and husband that God allowed me to see while I slept at night and dreamed. I’ve always believed that dreams would come true. Siempre he creeido que los suenos seran realidad. I’ve encouraged you to examine your relationships with your friends to determine if you’ve conducted yourself as a true friend would. Friends are very important. Genuine Friends are like family. Amigos son muy importante. Amigos son como familia. Have you been the kind of friend that you’ve wanted and have dreamed of? Has sido el mejor amigo que puedes hacer? Not only are real friends special, family is of utmost importance. When trouble comes into your life even if you are at fault, your family is all that you have if they are alive and well. If you are separated from your family, graciously embrace those around you that have treated you like family. I’ve challenged you to love your family with all of your heart and soul. You must not let anything and anyone come between you and your family. God’s greatest commandment was to love one another especially our families. Amen y acepten a su familia. Olviden el pasado y entablen relaciones fuertes. Si no tienen familia acercense a sus amigos y amen los como familia. El mandamiento mas grande de Dios es amar nos el uno a el otro. I’ve given you permission, not that you’ve asked, to sit quiet and dream. As a child, we used to dream. As adults, we can dream too. Direct all of your energy and passion to make your goals and dreams come true. Como los ninos suenan, tambien nosotros los adultos podemos sonar. Hagan esos suenos realidad. I’ve opened my life and shared many of my dreams with you. Never stop dreaming. |
Only In My Dreams My world of dating and relationships was like opening a box of chocolates where there were many to choose from. I've always picked that piece of chocolate that appealed to my eye. As it is said, "Looks can be deceiving." In my box of chocolates, there were:
Chocolate Covered Nuts Chocolate Covered Liars Chocolate Covered Cheaters Chocolate Covered Manipulators Chocolate Covered Abusers ...and everything else that was not good for me. Some have said that too much chocolate is not good for you, but I kept going back. I was looking for someone to be as good to me and genuinely love me just as I was willing to give and share my love. The sad truth was that I was looking for love in all the wrong places, with all the wrong men, and making many mistakes. When several failed relationships resulted in disappointment and pain, I finally stopped opening that box of chocolates to pick what I wanted. It was obvious that I didn't know what was best for me. I gave God total control of my life and relationships by establishing an open, intimate, and honest relationship with God. And guess what? God blessed me with the man who actually appeared in my dreams. "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and everything else will be added," including the love of your life and a great relationship. |
