Dreams are meant to be changed

Everyone has dreams and aspirations; better jobs, building a family, changing the world. Dreams are what motivate the desires we have and encourage us to persevere through the rough times. In the novella Gentleman of Her Dreams by Jen Turano, I was reminded of the fact that dreams can also change over time.

Charlotte believed God had pointed her in the direction of her dream, and in the pursuit of that she almost missed out on the love of her life - her actual dream was coming true before her very eyes, but she was blinded by what she "thought" was her dream. It's a very fine line that we walk sometimes in pursuing our dreams; every so often it's best if we pause to reevaluate our goals and aspirations because as we mature so do our goals and dreams.

I'm at this spot right now where I am evaluating what dreams I have and what I'm doing about pursuing them. Some have changed, others are fading in their desirability, but I will follow the path God is guiding me on towards my new dreams.

Today, being New Year's Eve, is the perfect time to reevaluate those dreams and plan for resolutions. Take a good look at yourself, are you still pursuing the same dream(s)? If not, what changed? Do you like where your new dreams are taking you? Why not take a moment today to assess where your path is taking you.
