Dreams I Dream for You.

This morning I was listening to my iPod as I rode the bus to work.  "Dreams I Dream for You," an old Avalon song was playing.  It was a single that was never released for radio play.  The lyrics struck a chord as I listened to it thinking about the context of this move across the ocean.  I was (of course) almost in tears as I stepped off the bus at Kretingos 36. 

Here are the lyrics...

You taste the tears
You're lost in sorrow
You see your yesterdays
I see tomorrow
You see the darkness
I see the spark
You know your failures
But I know your heart

(Chorus:)
The dreams I dream for you
Are deeper than the ones you're clinging to
More precious than the finest things you knew
And truer than the treasures you pursue

Let the old dreams die
Like stars that fade from view
Then take the cup I offer
And drink deeply of
The dreams I dream for you

You see your shame
But I see your glory
You've read one page
I know the story
I hold a vision
That you'll become
As you grow into the truth
As you learn to walk in love

(Chorus)
Let the old dreams die
Like stars that fade from view
Then take the cup I offer
And drink deeply of
The dreams I dream for you

The journey to Lithuania has been a long and difficult one at points along the way.  Not the trip overseas or even the process of applying for and getting the position, but the path God has taken me on to get me to the place where I was ready to accept this opportunity that came my way.  I am so so so very grateful that God didn't give up on me, but was with me all the way to this amazing point in my life.  I don't know what's next, but I want to continue to "drink deeply of the dreams He dreams for me!"
