Dancing with Cinderella

God has a unique way of doing things.  Sometimes we get hurt by it, sometimes we laugh and wonder, “seriously God?!?”, sometimes it just happens and many times it is a combination of all of that and then some. 

One morning He gave me the courage to “act” on a dream He had planted in me. It was courage I would have never had if He hadn’t of had me dream of something different to begin with …  .

 Through this journey,

I cried many times. 

I lost my cool several times.

I panicked almost daily (ok, not  almost- it was a daily panic).

I stressed.

I yelled.

I broke out in hives (seriously).

I almost gave up.

I lost sleep.

I spoke to God and asked Him on many occasions, “Really, God?  You can’t be serious… I must have misunderstood you!”

Did I mention I cried a lot?

But, I also…

Met wonderful people and made new friends.

He placed the Reyna Family in my path.

I smiled a lot.

I got closer to God.

I realized the importance of family and learned to appreciate them more.

I felt fulfilled.

I met some real life heroes.

I heard stories of heroes that I wish I had gotten to meet.

I found a purpose.  I grew up.  I snapped out a “feel sorry” for me coma… and learned how to live. 

I was carried by faith through this Journey of Faith…

Who would have ever imagined my dream looking like this:

The moment I got a bit choked up and realized… my dream was happening…

And I got that one last confirmation… God was smiling… and so were a few angels…

Don’t be afraid of your dreams my friends… he will equip you with your needs to make them come true.
