Hope revisited

This photo is one of my Pacific Parrotlet babies learning to eat seeds and pellets, fruits and raisins. Although this baby is long gone to it's new home, I have hope of more Parrotlet babies since Gloria has four tiny eggs.

Today I allowed myself to dream. I was born a dreamer. Prayer with friends the past few days has reminded me to revisit that part of me....it is part of what makes me like my Heavenly Father. Dreaming helps me remember that God is able to do all things in my life even when I am tiny and insignificant and lacking.

All this dreaming and hoping brings me a joy in my spirit and lightness of being. I hope I can hang onto this hope, it is nourishment and life.

Today I dared to research cars online that are far out of my income bracket (that is pretty much all new cars, and most used ones also). It was freeing. I may even test drive a new Toyota Prius or a Ford Escape Hybrid. I love their greeniness.

If God gave me the car I've been driving since January 1994 then He can do it again. I don't know how, but He CAN! I look forward to seeing how God will provide for the next car. If Jesus can tell his apostles to go get a fish and use the coin found in it's mouth to pay their taxes...my stuff is doable too.

It would be dangerous if I were prone to irresponsibility to be such a dreamer. The ironic fact is that I am shockingly frugal and financially responsible. I would rather starve than be late paying a bill. So I am reminded to think bigger now than my little income and bigger than my little life. God seems to smile on me when He and I dream together.

I am grateful for the hope of this day.
I am grateful for friends who bless me and encourage me to be me.
I am grateful for my friend Eve who shared so many amazing "God" stories with me about how God provided her with cars over the years.
I am grateful I feel empowered by Joy.
I am grateful God is BIG.
I am grateful God is also in the small stuff with me.
I am grateful for this blog too.
