Is this how you are living your life? Are you waiting for ‘someday’? What does your lens show? Will you recognize your someday when it comes? Can you describe what it looks like and what would you be doing? Who also lives there? Or is this only a dream that you don’t believe will ever be reality? Unless your ‘someday’ is a will of the wisp ‘hope for’ then you do need to have some idea of what it is that marks this place and time… if for no other reason than to recognize it when it manifests.
It takes a great deal of personal strength to follow your dream and not give up, especially during times of darkness or when you seem to be in a desert. When everything and everyone around you seems to shout – Never! – how do you believe, to continue? What you are willing to ‘pay’ for your someday? Or have you already given up your dream and are ‘settling’. To settle for less than your dream takes another kind of attitude – but is this what you want?
No one ever said that it would be easy to arrive at your personal ‘someday’. But if it’s a dream worth pursuing, then the only one who can do this is you. No, not necessarily alone but no one will pursue your someday with the same determination, the same expectation, the same… hope and faith. Those 2 forces, hope and faith, are what will strengthen you when you are ready to give up. I doubt seriously anyone ever attains their ‘someday’ without resting on this foundation.
Someday is a very special place and time. It can be yours as long as you know what it is and why you want it. Your ‘why’ is critical because it speaks to who you are in your quest. The other person in your journey to someday is the Lord, if you invite Him to participate. His ability to aid us during the journey can’t be underestimated. When you submit your someday to Him and ask Him to bless it then you are also telling Him that if He changes it, you have given Him that authority. I’ve also discovered that, for me, any improvements, refinements that He makes are always in my best interests. Also, with Him as my companion I find I don’t stress about ‘Someday’. I believe it will manifest… in its time.
