I do keep a journal. It is where I write down my dreams. I write down anything and everything I wish for and that I long for. Last year, I wrote down my wish list in terms of my professional career. I enumerated things that I want to accomplish and eventually experience as an early childhood educator.
I remember writing down wish # _________. The other day, I went back and read it again. I scratched my head, wondering how in the world that could happen. tsk. tsk. I pondered and told myself, maybe in time, maybe in time.
I received a call the other day. That call meant fulfilling that particular wish. God, what are you trying to tell me, now?
You win, Lord. Not my time table. I never expected that wish would ever be granted that soon.
I was humbled. I was reminded that my goal in life is not to gain comfort in this world, rather, it is to serve others in order to glorify God.

I have always believed that the measure of your knowledge and expertise in the field lies in how well you are able to teach it to others.
A wish granted. An opportunity given once. Should I grab it?
Yes. I am going for it. Thank you Lord.
You sure know what's best.
