2 dreams

Yesterday night, I had nightmares. Woke up twice. In the dream, I was on the way home in a cab alone and I couldn't get hold of Vic. Well, quite old-tale... I was driven to a deserted place by the ill-intentioned driver. Of cos, I was awakened by the malicious (do you use this word like this?) advances of the driver in the dream. I wasn't crying or really scared by it. Just that when I woke up I was very sian that I had disturbed sleep. Went back to sleep and I think I dreamt on the same thing again or similar and woke up again. 

But the good thing is after I prayed and went back to sleep, I dreamt of something very good! I dreamt that we were having church service in a VERY VERY HUGE HALL. It's similar to Hall 8 as in there are terraces by the sides encircling the entire hall. We left our bags at our seats and we went to hang around in the front portion of the hall talking to Pastor YK and some leaders. Then we realized that the ushers were clearing the floor area seats and putting our bags at the terraces. Just by walking from the front to where our seats were, it was a long long distance. A bit kua zhang. Anyway, the hall was filled with people and I especially remembered the many ushers stacking up the chairs on the floor area. So many of them. Fast and 'furious'? Haha.

Sometimes, in real life, we have 2 dreams as well. 1 dream that is fulfilled by our fears and apprehensions. And another dream that is achieved by our faith. Alot of times, we are held back by the fear of the future and the fear of failures. Yet, in our wildest imagination, we audaciously dream to achieve those great things in life. 

Which do you focus on? The fear that you may lose what you already have? Or the faith to achieve what you have always desired within?

Some dreamt to do business and become rich. While others put you down for being so money-minded. But didn't the bible says that it is His desire to PROSPER us. 

Some desired to be in the top professions such as doctor, lawyer & politician, and become well known and influential. While others sneered at you for being so concerned about fame and recognition. But didn't the bible says that we are to go into ALL THE WORLD to preach the gospel and being an INFLUENCE to the influentials.

Some long to have great beauty and a wonderful body. And others joked about your longing to becoming the next Ms. Universe or Mr. Hunk. But the bible says that even the priests were dressed in robes with gold, silver and bronze, adorned in the beauty of the "worldly" possessions. 

It all depends on how you view your dream. Bigger dreams demand greater commitments and draw greater challenges. Be encouraged when you find great challenges in your life. You were truly made for a great future.

Don't back down.
