Jenni,

The pragmatism and dreams section of this blog really struck home. I dealt a lot with re-learning how to dream in NZ. It really reared it’s head on your school. In dealing with all the frustrations in life, some how dreaming started sounding like just another set up for failure. God had to do some heavy cleaning in order for me to let myself dream. It took a long time and I’m still occasionally finding myself holding back from dreaming. It took practice: making dreams, God telling me to let them go and dream bigger and then having to start all over again. I really felt God give me this verse and I want to share it with you. 2 Chronicles 15:7 “But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded.”

I don’t know if any of this is a convenience to you but I hope something struck a chord.

In the paragraph beginning with “From a 10,000 foot level,” you called the specific causes of your frustrations a “mute point.” Unless I am missing a very subtle play-on-words, the idiomatic expression you meant to employ is that of a “moot point.”

I enjoy reading your writing, and I hope not to have caused any irritation by my comment.

“O My child, I am coming to thee walking upon the waters of the sorrows of thy life; yea, above the sounds of the storm, ye shall hear My voice calling thy name. Ye are never alone, for I am at thy right hand.

No darkness shall hide the shining of My face, for I shall be to thee as bright star in the night sky. Reach out thy hand, and shall touch the hem of My garment. For you are the apple of my eye and the heartbeat of my heart.”
