The Dream Giver
No movies for me tonight. It's definitely a sit at home and turn off the brain kind of night. Besides the fact that my nose hurts...allergies, (Only happens badly twice a year...now is one of them.) I'm just very sleepy. I slept through the new espisode of Spongebob last night. It was an accident! I was so excited about it, and then I fell asleep right before it, and missed the whole hoopla! Rats! Oh well, it's not like they won't play it 10 gazillion more times in the next week. I'll be ok.
Today is my friend Brian's birthday! Yay, Brian! I feel strongly about celebrating birthdays this year. So let's all hear it for Brian! Bri-an! Bri-an! Bri-an! Woo Hoo! Ok, I feel good about that now.
I'm reading a book right now called The Dream Giver. Basically, the book says that everyone on Earth, EVERYONE, has a Big Dream that they are born with. They just have to figure out what that Dream is and pursue it. The Dream Giver, God, gave us this dream, and know that this Dream can change our life. This book is supposed to help you discover your Big Dream and then show you "how to rise above the ordinary, conquer your fears, and overcome the obstacles that keep you from living your Big Dream." This is all really very interesting to me. I once thought I had one (a big dream), but gave it up because I felt like it wasn't what I was called to do. So, according to this book, I was either wrong about that, or there's something else inside of me that really IS the Big Dream that I was given by the Dream Giver. I can't wait to get through the book and see if anything comes clear. I've always fancied myself a bit of a dreamer, so it's interesting to see someone else write about it, too. The book is written by Bruce Wilkerson, whose name many may recognize from The Prayer of Jabez. Personally, I never read that book, but apparently, it was pretty good.
So, this is a book I would really recommend. Also, Epic by John Eldredge is an INCREDIBLE book that I have already given to Fred to read, then passed onto Stacey and now Kurt has it... and I hope he's reading it while he's on vacation. I just got back from vacation, but I'm still jealous.
So, there you have it. Not much else going on right now. Oh, one month from today I get to travel to North Caroline. That's pretty exciting.
