The Dream Giver

I have started reading this book someone recommended to me. It basically talks about Ordinary, who dares to leave the Land of Familiar to pursue his Big Dream. We all have big dream, one that might change our lives. So this book is about rising above ordinary, conquer your fears, and overcome the idea that obstacles that keep you from living your big dream.

I often think my dreams are hopeless our out of reach! The book asks the question “Are you waiting for something or someone to make your dream happen?” Wow that is a big one for me. When I look at my life now I thought I would be in a different place then where I am now. I know that God is in control of my life and if this is where he wants me to be than I need to be ok with it.

This morning was Day 2 of training. I promise I won't update you daily! It was a little bit easier getting up but harder to run today. I know my body just needs to get back into shape.

On another note. I love all kinds of music. You would be surprised if you looked at my IPOD. I have to spread the love around. One of my favorite Christian bands is The David Crowder Band. Here are the lyrics from their new song "How He Loves Me". It is awesome!

He is jealous for me,
Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,
Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy.
When all of a sudden,
I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,
And I realize just how beautiful You are,
And how great Your affections are for me.

And oh, how He loves us so,
Oh how He loves us,
How He loves us all

Yeah, He loves us,
Whoa! how He loves us,
Whoa! how He loves us,
Whoa! how He loves.
Yeah, He loves us,
Whoa! how He loves us,
Whoa! how He loves us,
Whoa! how He loves.

We are His portion and He is our prize,
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes,
If grace is an ocean, we’re all sinking.
So Heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss,
And my heart turns violently inside of my chest,
I don’t have time to maintain these regrets,
When I think about, the way…

He loves us,
Whoa! how He loves us,
Whoa! how He loves us,
Oh how He loves.
Yeah, He loves us,
Whoa! how He loves us,
Whoa! how He loves us,
Whoa! how He loves.

Well, I thought about You the day Stephen died,
And You met me between my breaking.
I know that I still love You, God, despite the agony.
...They want to tell me You're cruel,
But if Stephen could sing, he'd say it's not true, cause...

Cause He loves us,
Whoa! how He loves us.
Whoa! how He loves us.
Whoa! how He loves.
Yeah, He loves us,
Whoa! how He loves us,
Whoa! how He loves us,
Whoa! how He loves.
