It is interesting that as I have wrapped my brain around the concept of working towards dreams, I seem to hear things constantly that refer to dreams, visions, goals, and aspirations. Perhaps before I thought of these dreams, I was hearing, but not hearing the same things.
Today, I heard Lloyd Newel say in the Tabernacle Choir's program: "Make firm dreams, and then be flexible." He continued that circumstances change. People change. Many things change that would require being flexible in "FIRM DREAMS."
So I looked at our dreams about which this blog is written. We are firm in our goals, dreams, but must be flexible. During the first 120 days, or about one third of the time of this dream, nothing has changed that would urge us to be flexible in our dreams. That isn't to say that it won't, but it has not yet.
If things change, I am sure we would be more than willing to be flexible and modify our dream, and even change it.
Today in Church, our bishop (Or maybe it was in Sunday School, I don't remember) said that our faith coupled with prayer brings power. Many examples were cited where one person with faith, and with prayers performed many miracles, all of which were blessing to those around them; Parting of the Red Sea, the prison walls came tumbling down, the conversion of Alma, etc.
I still believe in miracles, in realizing dreams, and in arriving at our goals. We are one third there, still on track, and working toward their realization. Some aspects of the dream are not as far along as I would like, but I have two thirds to work on that, right?
Father would have us have dreams. He would have us set goals that are difficult to achieve. He would have us dream of better times, of overcoming challenges, of learning the lessons that are currently being taught us, and growing for the experience.
I will continue to listen, note and learn from all the miracles, goals, dreams, and visions that surround me.
