Shattered Dreams

"Live isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...  It's learning to Dance in the Rain" Vivian Green As a child, we often dream about our lives when we grow up.   We begin to plan out our lives.  We plan out what we want to be when we grow up (even if we change it a million times). We plan where we are going to live.  How big our house is going to be!  Little girls even plan out their weddings. Everything seems so simple through the eyes of a child.   As we become adults, we realize we were tricked!!!  Life isn't at all what we hoped for.  We never anticipated the bumps in the road... So, our dreams begin to fade away. We don't realize, especially as nonbelievers,  that our steps were already directed by the Lord, no matter how we planned our lives out to be. (Proverbs 16:9)  We become angry and blame God.  We become  angry at the world.   We think the world owes us something...seriously?!?! We make excuses or we just blame others for the way
