Changing Dreams

A dream changed today. Time has a tendency to do that. I have learned to let go of dreams. This is not to say that I do not have hope in anything, but instead I have learned that what I would like and what I am called to do aren't always the same thing. I have been called to love God and neighbor. Sometimes that means putting my own dreams aside, and to pick up the work gloves. Don't let me kid you into thinking I enjoy this all the time. Only by the grace of God can I say that I am saved everyday from myself. What does this have to do with anything you may ask. I think it shows what it means to lay down one's life for friend or foe. You see I don't know the future, but I can tell you that all of my dreams aren't the future I have in front of me. That's ok. Dreams change and so do I. I hope that God will teach me to dream for what he desires in my life. Until then I will do what he has laid upon me, and through that know him more. It is time to let go and open my eye wider.

A Change

So last year I had decided that I wasn't going to play any violent video games because of what I felt they promoted. Since this summer I have given up that pursuit, but I believe it is time to reclaim that hill in my life. This isn't to say I am addicted to video games and need to stop. Instead I aim to put my belief into a tangible action. Maybe I am targeting the wrong thing, but I won't know how far off I might miss if I never have the courage to take a shot myself. So here is my plan: from now until June I will not play XBOX. It is time to try something new.
