It has been my heart’s desire to move close to my daughter’s home in MO. We applied for a loan for a house in the country, which was denied. Truthfully, it was too expensive, but there wasn’t much to choose from. So now I’m looking for a part time, remote job while we are fixing up our house to sell. 

Sometimes, we ache for so long that our hope dwindles and we may even stop dreaming, so it doesn’t hurt so bad anymore. 

God cares about our dreams. In fact, He places “God dreams” in each of our hearts. But, if I desire the dream more than God, The Giver of Dreams, I make the dream an idol. 

I realized I need to place God first in my life. Then my dream will be the same as God’s dream for me.  I need not be concerned about temporal things, but my mind should be on eternal things. 

Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.  Psalm 37:4 NIV

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.  Matthew 6:33 KJV

While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

2 Corinthians 4:18. KJV

My quest is to be a free-lance writer. This has been my dream for many years, and now I believe it is the right time. God’s timing is perfect. I would like to write about social issues pertaining to poverty, domestic violence, the criminal justice system, religious education and other human interest topics. My past work experience included grant writing, writing issue papers, newsletters, creating flyers, brochures, news releases, and public service announcements. My business experience gave me skills in writing business plans, consignment contracts, newspaper articles, content for social media marketing and ads in a weekly paper. My purpose is to serve God and glorify Him through my work. View all posts by barbaraziogasgmailcom
