Follow your dreams!

 For years I have thought about going back to school to become a therapist, but I kept on telling myself all of the reasons why I couldn't. As long as I continued to tell myself such I was right. When I started to see myself the way the Lord did it made me realize that I was more powerful than I thought I was and that meant that I could do most things in this life with the right attitude. The more I prayed to know what the Lord saw in me the more I realized just how amazing I really was and how many things I could do. I may only be in my first semester of school but I know that no matter how hard it becomes I can do it, because I am not doing it on my own. I have the power that comes from prayer. So if you have a dream that you want to do I promise you can accomplish it with the help of God no matter how many things are in your way. After all if my sister who has small children, a full time job, a house can find the time to go to school I know that anyone can find the time to go after their own dreams. I'm not saying it will be easy, but I am saying that with God's help anything is possible. After all impossible spells I'm possible with the Lord's help. 

In my psychology class yesterday my professor put up a quote that has gotten me thinking since. "There's no secret to success, it's the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failures" general Colin Powell said such. Just like there was a lot of things I had to do just to start school no matter what we want or our dreams might be there's usually prep work we have to do. Then we have to work hard as if everything was on us and pray like everything was on God as we do such we will find the strength to do what we need to do so that our dreams can become a reality. We have to learn from our failures or I would put it the times it hadn't gone well. If we learn from our failures they were never failures, but stepping stones to what we want to be in life. 

My challenge today is figure out what you want to be in life then make it a reality. Anything worth anything won't be easy, but with the help of God it will be possible. So don't tell yourself that it will never be because that thought will stop you and hold you back instead ask yourself what needs to happen to make my dreams a reality. If my sister can make her dreams happen I know that anyone can it just make you work harder than most but never give up hope for a brighter future and what you want it to look like. Don't give up and if you need a push or extra support know that I am happy to help in anyway I can. May the Lord bless us in our paths and may our paths lead us to be closer to God.
