Thank you to those who posted your comment and to those who emailed your answer to me. Not sure why some can't post on my blog but I will look into it.
As for the answer to my question. The first thing you will need to know is -Where are you now? If you are in the dessert and you know there is a city not too far off - you will need to be able to mark your spot on the map so you know which way the compass needs to guide you.
Last weekend I spent 4 days at a conference doing a lot of work to find out where I am. In the process of that I had to go back and find out how I got there and what I have lost or gained during the process. It's been an emotional week for me. I have gone from tons of energy and full of confidence to very little energy and back to little confidence. But through it all I know where I am on my map and I have my compass in hand.
I have re-discovered my dreams and in time will fulfill them. This week I was anxious to get it all done but had a rude awakening and realized I can't do it all in a week. Life may be short but some things you just can't have right away and you need to be patient. So with that being said I am embracing today and when tomorrow comes I will embrace it. Plans and dreams are different and have to be treated as such. I will make small plans for the future but nothing too big, but I will continue to dream big and with each passing day I know it will bring me one step closer to that dream.
Here's my next question for you and if you don't want to post it that is fine, but I would still love to hear from you via email.
What are your dreams? Are they the same dreams you had as a child? Have you lost your dreams and if so - when did you lose them?

I had dreams to be a forensic psychologist..and more than that had dreams to adopt many children and even more than that had dreams to never have any kids or get the degree, just to go to Africa and spend time with children dying of AIDS, etc. Obviously none of those dreams came to pass. But I realized that in all of my dreams I forgot the part of going where the Lord was leading me. I was disappointed at first but now see that His plans for me were and are so much better than any I could have dreamt up on my own. And who knows, maybe one day the time will come where I will travel to Africa. But in the mean time, I'm a "psychologist" to my kids and I've "adopted" children the Lord placed in my womb, and I often spend time with my own sick, in need children. So, I supposed my dreams really have come true.
That's awesome Sarah - Thank you for sharing.
