I have been thinking about a phrase a friend of mine said years ago, He was big into Star treks at the time and he said, "In the future people don't need to go to the toilet, you never see any of them saying I will be back in five!"

Man I really think that there is some in that, I think when we dream we always think that we will be different people as well. I don't know about you but I often daydream about what the future will look like and what it would be like to accomplish my dreams. I think that I often dreamed about different things, it doesn't matter what they are, just about living out the dreams that are in my heart. I think that in my dreams, I expected me to be a different person. I just thought that a lot of the issues that I am facing would have been resolved. I thought that a lot of the day to day struggles of life would be absent, and that some how life would be a nice glowing dream, with only blue skies...

I got to accomplish one of my main dreams this week, to leadwoship in a church so that was really cool. It is funny I had imagined me to be really different when I would start to lead worship, I guess I expected to be a "mature spiritual person" and that all of the issues and struggles in my life would be resolved. But alas it was not the case, I was just a normal broken person, even on the Sunday I still messed out it was not even as if I could keep it together for even one day!! It was funny I was praying before I went into church, and God said to me well now you cant bribe Me to show up with your good behavior you will just have to ask me to gift you with your presence.

You know I think that we will never have all our stuff together so to speak, we will always have struggles and hard things going on in our lives. Maybe we just need to inject some reality into our dreams, so that when we do get to live them out, we will recognize that there are great things even if they are we are not totally perfect! I am not saying this so that we downgrade our dreams, just so that we remember that we will still have to go to the toilet in our future dreams.
