When You are Called to Follow Your Dream

H2odevos p4p Lent 2013 “When You are Called to Follow Your Dream”

"Every dream that becomes is a star or a sun

Far too far to be real sometimes fading

But it calls you night and day

Longing to be more then behave

Believe be Light be Love"

Be Etc by Peter Mayer

I believe that Frederick Buechner defines vocation as "where your greatest joy meets the world's deepest need." Those are inspiring words which can also be disturbing as well. For, when we search our heart and soul, sometimes there is the realization that what brings us joy or what others would call "bliss" might not be the stuff we are doing on a regular basis. Or maybe, we just aren't getting to do it quite enough.

So, Peter's encouragement is to follow that dream. And what is a dream other than a message from God to use one's gifts and abilities to their fullest capacity. Your dream might be like that dog of a friend of yours that just won't leave you alone. No matter how hard you try to send the message or to position yourself, that dog/dream keeps coming back again and again wanting to be acknowledged, petted and taken for a walk.

So if this scene seems familiar to you, why not take a little time today and follow your dream. You'll be glad you did. I also think the world will be happy about it as well.

Blessings,
