About this ebook
There are questions that are never asked for reasons that are private to those who dare to ask. Feelings or thoughts are held inside for fear of ridicule. It takes boldness to speak. These words (writings) that you have or will listen to are written because I have finally, through the power of God, found the spiritual strength to release that wh

Dream Past Your Dreams
How great would it be to reach out and touch those precious and almost mystical dreams of last night! As though perfection and serenity were the main courses, I recall with a sigh of warmth the mere thought of the dream. Shaking my head in despair, I look around and see reality. Settling back into the routine of the life, what was at the moment a feeling of satisfaction vaporizes, and I then go forward with the task of the day. But what if I could go past my dreams? Would that be just a hopeful fantasy, or could I with a determined and realistic effort make my dreams come true?
Alone
I sit alone to the world with my thoughts. Strategically I silently and internally plan those things: that I desire to become real, tangible, and alive. The communication with myself will either clarify or distort. If I am not careful, I will become entrenched in a vacuum of muddle confusion.
Internalizing without true vision can result in unstable actions. Life is lived internally but displayed externally.
Activated Salvation
Looking at the forms of the word action (activated, activation, and active), it defines the need for some measure of energy spent that causes motion. Applied to salvation (the saving grace of God), the mere confessing of faith that Jesus Christ saves us from eternal death does not activate our power to resist temptation. Getting a credit card only reminds us that we have possession of something that is valuable, but only by activation will it give the results for which it was acquired. So it is with our salvation. In order to access the power, action must be taken daily. Consider the three P’s: pray without ceasing, persistence in obedience, and patience in all things.
Enjoy Your Freedom or Remain in Prison
How wonderful it is to decide. The cliché "I’m grown and I can make my own decisions" ring loud and clear and true.
However, the reality of life is that no man is an island and man knows not beyond the words that he speaks the outcome of that which has been spoken. The ability to see further than one can see leads to a blind spot. One will remain imprisoned by one’s self and unable to break through the surrendering of one’s soul to Him who has created. For whom the Lord sets free is free indeed.
My Existence
I didn’t choose my existence, but I do choose how to live it both in the flesh and in the spirit.
Life
The fulfillment of life is in the fullness of God. I just want God to fill me!
Direction
My inability to make the right decisions lies within my sinful nature. Knowingly or unknowingly turning to disobediences renders me incapable of viewing that which lies ahead. Proverbs’ instructions reveal God’s plan for me to be led and directed through this life: "In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall
