DREAMS...

"To sleep--perchance to dream: 

ay, there's the rub," 

 famous words from Hamlet's soliloquy. 

 Perchance to dream...

do you allow yourself to dream?

I've been thinking a lot about dreams and what God has planned for me and my family.  Could it be that my children, (who were born just yesterday, I swear!) both celebrated birthdays?  Our youngest turned 11 on Christmas Day and our oldest turned 14 on Sunday.  

 

Last night I was talking to my next door neighbor.  During our conversation she kindly reminded me that Corey will be driving in a short 2 1/2 years and would be graduating in 4 1/2 years.  Seriously did she think I didn't already know that!!!!  (I am sure it has nothing to do with the teasing I gave her 2 1/2 years before her daughter turned 16 or last summer when I reminded her that her daughter would be graduating this summer!!!! :) )  

 One of the things I was dreaming about was a new blog header and design...I know...I know...I just set up my blog.  But I am impatient and not happy until I get what I want, something I am working on but cut me some slack!  I didn't know exactly what I wanted my blog header to say so I've been tossing around some ideas. I really wanted to include a picture of a person sitting in front of a cross as I thought it would be a perfect picture to sum up what my blog is about.

On Wednesday mornings, I work with some of my students face to face at my church.  As I was walking out of the house this morning, I grabbed my camera in the event I would "see" the perfect picture for my header.  I did see a beautiful picture of the sun coming through the trees, and boy would it have made the perfect header, however, I was going up hill on a busy road with no place to pull over and my camera was in the trunk.  Good place for it right?!  

 

As I got closer to church, I realized I had the perfect opportunity to photograph the stained glass windows at church.  Our church has beautiful stained glass windows that I love to stare at and dream.  Because the sun was shining so brightly and I was really early, I knew it would be a perfect time to photograph the windows.  I took at least 25 pictures and couldn't wait until I was finished work for the day so I could view my pictures.  I fell in love with the pictures and realized these were the pictures I was supposed to use on my header.

I called my friend Cole and his mom Shay and asked them for some help designing!  I was super impressed and happy with the outcome!  Thanks so much Shay and Cole.  I am so glad God has brought us together. Obviously we couldn't include
 all the pictures in the header so I included a few of them throughout my post!
