Where Can Your Dreams Take You?

As I said the other day, I got to meet Jerry Pinkney this weekend. I bought his new book, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. The book jacket "preview" says this:

Where can your DREAMS take you? Farther than you've ever been, on a magical, windswept adventure to the stars- then back into the comfort of nature's loving arms.


The amazing illustrations follow a little chipmunk chasing a star through the various verses of the song.

But I really liked that preview. And it's so incredible to think about where I am today.

And thinking- THIS is where my dreams have taken me. Some are being fulfilled. Every day, I thank God that my dreams of being a teacher are coming true. That my dreams of sharing His love through music are being fulfilled. That I have more friends and support in my life than I ever imagined I would.

Where can your dreams take you? To the stars- to see the glory of God.

And then back to the comfort of GOD'S loving arms.

Dream big. God will hitch your wagon to HIS star and take you far beyond you will ever imagine.

Trust me. I'm riding that star right now. Hanging on tight and never wanting the journey to end.

-I was able to stay after class this evening and chat with our amazing professor about some things. It was so good, and reassuring.

-I was going through some things and I found an old letter from my friend, famous author, Patricia Polacco. I remember this quote she said, and there was something reassuring about it:
"Sometimes, people have no idea how much they hurt the person they are cruel to.  If someone is cruel to you, realize, there is something wrong with the person teasing you. THEY have the problem. Think about it. They can't be happy unless they're watching you be upset and sad? It says a lot about them doesn't it?"


-Even though she didn't get my name right, a student but this on my desk today... Made my day!:

-I'm prepping for tomorrow and I'm really, really excited about some things I have planned!

-Is it already the weekend? Do I really get to sleep in Saturday, for the first time in over 2 weeks?!
