I have many dreams for my life. Some are completely unrealistic and just for fun and others are some of my deepest desires that I truly hope come true some day. Last night I was really struggling against feelings of frustration because I haven't seen one of my biggest dreams come into fruition yet. I was writing in the notebook I use as my prayer journal. My best friend actually gave me the notebook awhile ago. She decorated the front cover with a collage of magazine pictures and words of things I love and dreams I have. One of the things she put on there were the words "Dream Weaver." I caught a glimpse of the words as I was writing and I immediately sensed God telling me, "I am your dream weaver." It made me stop and think.
It's true, God is my dream weaver. He put a lot of the dreams I have into my heart and he is weaving and creating them into something beautiful. I thought of spiders and how they weave their webs. Their webs are unique, intricate, detailed, and take time to make. They create them in different places. Sometimes they're moved and sometimes they're destroyed. This is what God does in my life and heart. He weaves my dreams together. Sometimes they change into something completely different, sometimes they're taken away. But they have always have a purpose. And the ones that he has finished creating end up being beautiful.
I felt like God used those words and the image of a spider weaving its web to let me know He is still working on my dreams. He is still working behind the scenes to make things happen. He is still in control. I have to remember this when I feel frustrated and like nothing is happening. I need to remember it when I am doubting Him and trying to take control of things. God is my dream weaver.
Ephesians 3:20 NIV "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us."
