In my life I"ve seen a thousand dreams
Through the threshers all torn to pieces
- Ohio - Over the Rhine


While at work, I've been listening to grooveshark (a free online program that lets you create your own musical playlists. When I heard this lyric the other day it reminded me of my re-imagined futures and how sometimes the dreams are hard to give up. To see them torn on the floor tugs at the heart. I thought of my dreams in middle school and high school and even college that are so far from where I am now. Then, when they fell apart, it might have hurt, but now, I can only be thankful that none of them materialized. You would think that based on this kind of track record, I'd have more trust and joy when things start crumbling or shifting. Some days I do better than others.

"Sometimes you have to die to the dream God has given you so God can resurrect the dream in its glorified form. And by glorified from, I simply mean doing it for God's glory."
