Story Time!

Once upon a time there lived a young Southern girl who dreamed of traveling the world and telling people's stories. But she wasn't sure how she could ever live her dream. One day she found a wonderful place thousands of miles from her home that would give her many opportunities to travel and the knowledge that she would need to do it. She knew this was the place she wanted to be, but it was only an impossible dream. So she lived her days in a sad loneliness, withdrawing into herself more than ever.

However, nothing is impossible with God. He was faithful and gave her the desires of her heart. He provided a way for her to go to the wonderful place and live out her dream. She went gratefully with joy and peace in her heart. Many strange things greeted her when she got there, but she loved everything about the place. She met new people who didn't know her because of her family or friends or as that smart girl. It was her new beginning. She made friends based on who she was as an individual.

After two months of living in this new place, she still felt like she was living in a dream. Nothing was the same as her life before. She'd lived so long believing her dream would not come true; the fact that she'd been living it for two months did not lesson its impact on her. While she was busier than she'd been in a long time, she enjoyed every minute of it. Knowing she was where God wanted her brought an incredible feeling of peace. Even though occasionally a desire hit her to see her parents, her sisters, her friends, her adorable puppy, or her sweet boys, she knew it was all God's plan. She would see them soon enough. People don't get to live their dreams everyday. This Southern girl was blessed and thanked God for the life He had given her. The End.
