A Fairy Tale

I watch movies a lot, especially the chick flic, girly movies. I know people say that it is a waste of time and can give unrealistic expectations to people, but I don't care, I love them. I get caught up in the story line and where the characters are going and what they are doing and I find myself in a world where anything can happen. I realize that these are only stories, they are only glimpses into the minds of peoples wildest dreams and imaginations, but I find myself seeing reality through rose colored glasses at times.

I believe that if in my wildest dreams and imaginations I am able to understand life more clearly, then it is merely an expression of the person that I long to be and the life I want to lead. Let me say that one more time…. I believe that if in my wildest dreams and imaginations I am able to understand life more clearly, then it is merely an expression of the person that I long to be and the life I want to lead. Try to wrap your mind around that statement. Basically what that means is this: In my dreams I become the person that I desire to be. When I lay the story of my life out in front of me I want to see it as a love story brilliantly played out on the screen before me.

I believe that when I am able to see my life in that way then my life becomes something entirely different. It becomes a picture that defines who I am, but more importantly who God was to me. A saying that I find to be interesting and very true is this. "Life is a tapestry." That is a true statement and quite simple, you can be going one direction one day and the opposite way the next. You constantly think to yourself how badly you are messing things up and what a mess your life has become. When you look back at the bigger picture of life, specifically, when you look at the tapestry of your life you realize that everything that happened was for a purpose. The end result paints a glorious portrait of life and it shows the divine nature of a God that works everything together for his own purpose.
