Dreams and Miracles

"The Lord blesses the dreams of His children. So dream your dreams little faithful dreamers. :)
I'm dreaming my dreams." tweeted this last November 8.

Dreams. Someone told me to just dream my dreams. And I did. But after, it broke my heart. Because I know that that dream will never come true. I was trying to understand why do people still encourage others to dream? Dreams are our futile attempts of making the impossible real. Dreams are bound to be dreams, nothing more. Or I guess I was trapped by my own concept of dream.

I attended Makati Feast on the first Thursday of October. At the end of the session, the first timers were gathered and was given this little Novemna to God's Love. Then inside, we were asked to write 7 of our dreams. They wanted us to be specific and that the dreams are time-bound, like find a job before the year ends. And also, we were reminded to dream big yet not to be arrogant with what we write. Dream something that seems impossible now but is possible to happen. It was that simple reminder that made me realize what I thought was a dream is actually an illusion, a fantasy. Because from the start I knew that my "dream" wasn't attainable. Dreams should never be equated to fantasies.

So now, I started dreaming my dreams. I mentioned earlier about my plans of putting up my own business. However, I need to move, work and look for resources (capital) for it to materialize.

Another dream of mine is to be a pre-school teacher. I love kids. Their innocence is a gift. And they're just plain cute even if they're annoying. I tried looking for a good school to enroll. In one of the schools, I was advised to enroll next summer since the second semester has already started. I took it as a sign because I'm having troubles with work (more on workload). Nevertheless, I'm excited! Especially since friends started calling me Teacher Rica. Does it suit me? I hope so. I'm praying for it to happen. I'm going to be a good teacher to the kids.

And if you have a dream? Don't be scared to share it. A new friend told me about the "Power of Tongue". It's the opposite of "jinx". Power of tongue works this way, let the whole world hear it and pray for you. Share your dreams. I'm willing to listen. :)

Miracle. How do you face another case of cancer in your family? The man behind the name, "Rica Gran", is currently sick. Tatay Makati (he lives in that city) or Lolo-Techy (a certified computer geek) has a tumor inside his tummy. Too much worrying didn't help me either. I got sick, hence, Mama stayed at home instead of being with him.

Lolo if you're reading this, I hate you for taking your health for granted. But for everything else, I love you. And this offsets the hate I feel towards you. I'm amazed at how strong you are in facing this. With your courage and happy disposition, you continue to inspire everyone around you. We'll always be here for you, no matter what. "Too much", please be well.

To everyone else, kindly include my lolo in your prayers. I pray also that the Lord may heal you from any forms of pain you are experiencing, may it be physically, emotionally and spiritually. Let the Almighty Healer touch and heal you.
