Getting Real

It seems that the older we get the more we "get real". We get a better understanding of who we are, who we want to become and what matters most. As life gets so filled with the day to day and your family starts to grow its easy to lose the intimacy in friendships. It's easy to get caught up in being a wife & mom and being busy. The time that you do have free is few and far between and sometimes you just want a few minutes to yourself for sanity. You take those moments to escape with girlfriends or just by yourself. In those moments lately I have found myself realizing that all the things I dreamed about have come true. All the things that were my hearts desire the Lord has taken me through and blessed my life. It seems I am finally at a point of wanting more. I remember long before being married and being a mom, of amazing times with the Lord. Times when he has transformed me. Times when he spoke to me in such a way that changed my life. I want to grab ahold of what God has been trying to teach me for awhile now. I want to walk in the things that he is dreaming for me. I want his desire to be mine. I don't want the best, most intimate times in my life to be a memory. I want to know that the BEST is yet to come. I want to be a better friend. I want to open the door that God is putting before me. I want him to move in my life. I want to not only be a friend but to be there, to listen and grow in the Lord together. I don't know what in the world I would do without the friends that God has blessed me with. I pray that God binds us closer together and helps us to sharpen each other and dream with each other to be what God wants us to be in him.
