I’ve been hearing a term tossed around lately th

I’ve been hearing a term tossed around lately that I want to talk about. It’s this: “Manifesting your dreams.” The phrase has me concerned, because I think it misses the point of blessings. “Manifesting your dreams” means that you are in control of the whole thing. But we know that God is ultimately in control and if your dreams are coming true, I believe this is God making it happen.

I also believe that sometimes when we try to make our own dreams happen, we get really frustrated because God has a different plan. His view of our success is so different than what we think would be really cool. Sometimes we get this, usually years later, when we look back and see a “blessing in disguise.” But sometimes, I think we miss them entirely, mostly because we just can’t think like God does.

I have dreams and hopes like everyone else, and get frustrated when they don’t happen. Other times, something I don’t even think twice about suddenly becomes very popular (a book or essay or painting, for example) and I stand there stunned because I just didn’t see it coming. When these things happen, it’s time to thank God for the blessings.

EVERY GOOD AND PERFECT GIFT IS FROM ABOVE, COMING DOWN FROM THE FATHER OF THE HEAVENLY LIGHTS, WHO DOES NOT CHANGE LIKE SHIFTING SHADOWS.
JAMES 1:17

Personally, I do think God wants to hear from us about our hopes and dreams. I do think He wants to help us make them true, but at the same time, he sees it all differently. He blesses us in ways we don’t often understand. Okay, in ways I don’t often understand. I’m often caught off guard by my blessings.

Even if you make something happen yourself, it’s only really good (the kind of good that resonates in your soul) if it’s God’s plan, too. Pray that he shows you his plan. Talk to him about your dreams and what you want to make happen. He’ll answer you, maybe not always in the way you expect but he will. Make time to pray and listen and then work on those dreams. My career hasn’t gone the way I first envisioned when I started. I haven’t had the success I thought I would have, but I’ve had success in ways I couldn’t have imagined. God’s plan for us is like that sometimes

SOLD at Woodwalk Gallery in Door County. Thank you! This painting is part of my "tree girl" series, and contains original poetry on the girl's trunk that is all about the seasons of life.

There is a still small voice in the autumn of our lives and this leads us to a new season. If we’re flexible enough to bend our branches so they don’t break and if we still remember the solidness of our roots, our spirits will hold us in a place where we are worthy, and loved.

Because of the dog's joyfulness, our own is increased. It is no small gift. It is not the least reason why we should honor as love the dog of our own life, and the dog down the street, and all the dogs not yet born. ~ Mary Oliver
