  Dreams Longing Hopes Desires
It is said that hope deferred makes the heart sick.Within our hearts are the seeds of our journeyAll on a path.Dreams marking the trails head, mapping the way.Those longings so embedded within the very fibers of our being.Desires wanting and waiting feelings left unfulfilled.
In our marriage we met with a fulfillment of parenthood after 16 years.A son at 20 years marriage.
Before that a life time of wanting...wanting a Man that loved God and a home of my own.
Desires of a wife to share His life with.A forever friendship in love and marriage. The desire to stand aside another to watch them grow.Hoping for them the very best they can become.  Longing for travel within the heart of my man.Thinking at times that if he could just be content...It is that very same discontentment, well it was that waiting then letting go. Painfully accepting that either the desire would be removed or trusting that it might be fulfilled. Knowing that whatever the case I had to trust. Now I wait and trust and hope for my husband as I did for my dreams.When I was longing hoping desiring Dreaming of Motherhood.
Hope deferred can make the heart sick.It can also heal it.Years of waiting then receiving what I had longed for was a real eye opener.If I would of received what I wanted in my timing well wonder the harm of being ill equipped to manage it? One day this life long desire to travel will be fulfilled.My husbands dreams, a reality for it is true that God Gives us the desires of our heart. In a different way than is interpreted by many.
It is the dream, the longing, desiring holding on to that hope...That very act is what causes us to be prepared to receive it in a state of maturity.It is that desire in itself that so beautifully forms us.Then we can truly receive it to our benefit and not to our harm. He sets us on a course that thumps hard in our chest.It is not only that in the state of contentment that the peace is to be found.Contentment never ought mean to let go of the hope that God has placed within us.Being content is to trust in his time and that He has Us in His best interest. Our Dreams ...are best lived in HIS time.
As a wife it is my heart to never remove my husbands dreams, but to support him in the contentment that removes the suffering while the hope is deferred. That support that might help him to never give up but to give over into Gods perfect way and timing.I know then  it will be more than wonderful.As with motherhood, much is required when much is given Never let the fear of disability or being hindered remove the dream.Don't let your dreams just be dreams, let them mark your trail.Then follow it(acting them out within your heart as if...) He is your guide.Mapping your life along it's way. Then if that day come if we have traveled the path well. We might see through HIS eyes what He intended for us all along
