"When you are 8 and you've got dreams, that's adorable, when you're 18 that's inspiring, but when you're 28, that's just embarrassing...... *pity face* let's just not get to heartbreaking"
My question though is this: When should a dream die? I think never. I think they should change and shift with us in some respects, because as we grown our dreams should as well. We learn more of our own heart and can better weigh our dreams in light of that but the idea that age should determine your potential in this world is ridiculous, and the idea that anyone should tell you to quit thinking outside of their self imposed box is even more absurd.
In this I"m not saying we should negate responsibility to society or family; however, I am saying that you should not be afraid to stand out, you should not be afraid to go againSt the grain, and you should most definitely not be afraid of dreaming a crazy seeming dream(regardless of age). That crazy big dream that seems unfathomable to others might just well end up being the dream that God has for you, but until you step out in faith you'll never even be able to guess wat what could be or "might have been". Don't let life pass you by in fear.
On the age note, if God can make a king of Josiah at age 8, use a teenage girl to birth the savior, send Jesus into his minstry at 30, and use a 90+ something year old to father the nations then I would have to say no matter how long or short your time is on this earth never sell yourself short based on something as simple as "age".
REACH FOR THE STARS
If you want to be a lawyer go for it (a shot out to my aunt naomi), if you want to be a dance therapist do it, if you wnat to be a stay at home mom go for it, If you want to be an author WRITE( a shot out to my cuz), if you want to tour the world make it happen, if you want to be missionary in the middle of the amazon PROPS.
All things are possible to them that believe and to them that are willing to do whatever it takes/pay the cost.
