One of the funest things I do with my girls is compare our dreams.
Yes, it most certainly develops into a contest but what creativity these young girls have.
One dream of Chloe's is to be a football player.
Chloe came home to us last year at the start of football season. Chloe liked no one but BaBa at the start of football season last year. Chloe developed a love for football like her BaBa.
She wants to be a football player.
If you have not heard me talk about "little" Chloe's size, she is quite petite. She can wear some 18 month clothes and most 2T clothes. She would never be a linebacker but what mom wants their son to be a linebacker?
I read another adoptive mom's blog this morning and was so touched by this video.
We are only limited by our imagination and our determination.
The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen. --Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

Noah believed what seemed improbable, impossible. There was no sea where Noah laid the ark keel. He was bidden by the Lord to construct a sea-going vessel on dry land. O mad old man! Faith which believes in the probable is anybody's faith. Faith which believes that which is barely possible is in better form. Faith which cares nothing for probability or possibility, but rests alone in the Word of the Lord, is the faith I seek. God deserves such faith, "for with God all things are possible."
Living Faith
Noah was surrounded by people who wanted to dissaude and detract him from following God's call in his life. Noah acted in faith to God's call even though what he was called to do went against common sense and the "rules". Noah ran his race with the intent to win. He did not worry about public opinion. We can look at Noah's life for guidance when it seems we are the only ones walking a certain path; running an only course. We are not alone in our faith. God will always be there to guide and help through life's many storms and trials. An active and living faith can at times require actions that may seem new and uncomfortable, but the rewards are eternal.
