Sitting here, sewing in lap, stitching away in the
stillness that is my husband and kids in bed. The CD player is loaded with five
albums I've not listened to for a while. The volume is low and in hushed tones I
sing and hum along to some old favourites. I have heard these songs plenty of
times before. Even belting out the words on other less quiet occasions. Halfway
through a song the meaning of it really hits me. It is not that I didn’t know
what it was about. Somehow though I’d missed grasping the full significance.
Perhaps it is because God has been stirring up a few long time dreams within me lately that the words suddenly have more value. A few posts ago I mentioned a desire that God had given me. So far there has been no
physical way provided to move forward. In fact, some stuff has arisen which
makes it even more difficult to pursue. God has brought me to a place of peace
and trust with the whole thing for now. Yet I don’t feel as if He will fully
allow me to shelve it again. Yes, it is resting up there but constantly on my
mind too. Whenever I find myself trying to ‘put it away’ I feel compelled to
keep faith about the whole thing. I still do not know what He has in mind or what
the unfolding will look like. He’s given me a dream though and I need to ‘have
faith in the power to believe’…
Dream
I believe there is divine imagination
Give it wings for it created aviation
Every little hope you’re holding inside
Every little gleam you keep in your eyes
A dream, yeah, a dream
Before a seed became a flower there was a vision
The dream is planted deep, He’ll shower it with
wisdom
Flowing with the love that’s making you smile
You’ve waited and you’ve prayed, you’ve dreamed
your whole life
Your soul begins to fly
There’s a dream in your heart
And His heart is your prayer
You can move mountains with your life in His hands
He’ll tear down the walls and He’ll walk where you
can’t
Have faith in the power to believe
He’s given you a dream
I pray your dream will leap beyond your
expectations
You’ll see miracles He has no limitations
Listen to his voice a spark will ignite
Let Him be the strength to carry your life
He’ll raise your spirit high
You will find the bloom beneath the sunshine
Reach inside and sail to His horizon
Every little hope you’re holding inside
Every little gleam you keep in your eyes
You’ve waited and you’ve prayed, you’ve dreamed
your whole life
Your soul begin to fly
Faith in the power to believe
He has given you a dream
Faith in the power to believe
Gotta have faith in the power to believe
He has given you a dream
Faith in the power
Michelle Tumes, 2001.
Philippians 1:6 being confident
of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.(NIV)
