This week we have a theme for the Blogging Chick’s Carnival ~ ‘Dreams‘. So remember the theme when you read this post today…Because by the time you have finished reading, you might think that I have lost all my marbles…

Let me back-up a little bit…When I was a little girl, I always wanted to be a police-woman on a motorcycle (my dad was an officer in the German police force). But when I grew up, no women were allowed in the German police force…Fast-forward….

Now that I am 40ish…raised a son with my Sweetheart, have a house, been in the work-force for 25 years…the dream has resurfaced. No, not being a motorcycle-cop, but riding a motorcycle ~ with a different purpose. One of my former friends told me that I am in the middle of a mid-life-crisis. Well, maybe she is right. But I say, I am burned out from daily life – BTDT like Carol likes to say…

God created beauty around us; but we are too busy to stop and enjoy that creation. There are places on this earth that I would like to see before I go Home…And why can’t I travel this earth, leave everything materialistic behind and enjoy His creation and witness to His love from the back of one of these?:

‘When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible”. Peter answered him, “We have left everything to follow you! What then will there be for us?” Jesus said to them, “I tell you the truth, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life.’
~ Matthew 19:25-29 (emphasis mine)

Looking at the words of Jesus, I don’t see anything wrong with my dream. I am breaking free from the bondage of material stuff and could share God’s grace and mercy with others. And maybe down the road to somewhere, I can point to God and show people that this life is only the beginning of a much better life to come…

Okay, so maybe my dream is a little flawed; but it is my dream. Yeah, I can see myself on the back of a motorcycle, traveling the world…But before I take off to see the rest of His creation here and there, I would like to stop by a couple of my blogging buddies in Tennessee, Texas, Georgia & Pacific Northwest:wink:.

So, what is your dream?
