The Dream & Life
Life does not become worth living until you have to fight for it. Your purpose doesn’t become defined until it is refined in fire. Friends aren’t friends until iron sharpens iron. Love isn’t eternal until two hearts endure time. I am still the reflection of the dream.
The Dream, The Diamond & Right Now
Many times I really question who I am. What am I here for? How will this story end? As I sit down and reflect, sometimes I feel hopeless, at the hand of someone writing my fate. I don’t want to move and I don’t want to press on today. I want to just sit here and be idle. I don’t want to be great today.
Other times, I am filled with so much passion, so much love, and so much emotion. The thought of being a woman of impact prompts me to keep going. I often think of those who I must help get through today. If I drop this ball who else falls short? I can’t give in to my feelings, not today, not ever. The prophet said the story ends in greatness. I have to keep moving. Beyond my feelings, I have to keep moving. I am still the reflection of His dream.
The Dream & The Circle
I look around at the people in my life and smile. Each one so different and serving such a unique purpose. I am grateful for them. I wonder, if they know just how much I cherish and love them. If not for each of them, I would have miscarried the dream, never giving life. They will not let me fall. Too committed to be envious, they must see the dream come to life. They surround me on all ends, never letting the enemy infiltrate. I am still the reflection of the dream.
The Dream & Him
To my king, I want to recede. I want to let go of this oath I made six years ago. What’s the point of love based on purity when I have my needs? But you won’t let me. And coming back to the hope of “finally:” to my heart, my love, my body I give. To walk down the aisle and see your face, a dream, I press on a bit more. I am still the reflection of his dream.
The Dream, The Beginning & The End
Great people know they are great from the beginning. They are pierced with more attacks and inhibited with more obstacles. But with fire in their hearts and a dream before them, they endure. No one can steal their drive, because challenges have shaped it. No one can duplicate their purpose, because hardships shaped that too. Love isn’t eternal until two hearts endure time. Friends aren’t friends until iron sharpens iron. Your purpose doesn’t become defined until it is refined in fire. Life does not become worth living until you have to fight for it. I am still the reflection of the dream.
