BUT DADDY, I WANT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, folks, I'm semi-late to work at the moment, so this post will be brief. People react differently to having a dream crushed (for lack of a better word), or in some cases having a dream put on hold for a season. Usually, the reaction is a touch on the negative side...involving crying, questioning God, anger, resentment, etc. What about experiencing relief? In some rare cases, it's possible to be relieved you didn't get exactly what you wanted. I say this because, for me, it's so easy to let a dream/goal/desire enslave me. It becomes my god, and I worship at it's alter daily, sometimes hourly. For the most part, the things I want...the things I pursue aren't bad in and of themselves, but that's before I start obsessing over them. So relief can come when God, in His infinite wisdom...and righteous jealousy, closes a door to a dream. He's not hurting you for the fun of it; He's freeing you. Christ has already set us free, but for some reason, we like to return to our old ways occasionally and get tangled back up. Eh well...just some thoughts as I'm seriously late now and about to run out the door.
