it’s all really just technicalities. wishes, dreams, prayers…while i prefer prayers, wishes and dreams sound like something out of a fairytale. i have many dreams – many things i hope and wish for but i pray for those dreams, those hopes, those wishes to become reality. what i’ve realized throughout life is that without prayer, that’s all they are.
for as long as i can remember, disney has always held a special place in my heart. stories of wishes coming true, love being found…i cant really pin point exactly what it is, but there’s an undeniable sense of complete joy that sweeps over me. as a child my parents took me to disney but i was too young for those memories to follow me into my adult life. in my teens i visited the area but never did make it to cinderella’s castle. if you follow andrew and i on instagram, you might have noticed a substantial increase in photos these past few days. you see, we’ve been busy making memories. memories of disney…and yes, cinderella’s castle.
a make a wish necklace, blowing birthday balloons, seeing a shooting star, catching a firefly, coins in a fountain…there are many things that encourage us to make wishes, to have dreams, to hope for greatness. for andrew’s birthday, maybe just a little bit more for me, we planned a trip to disney. as we documented the trip in our travel journal, we focused on our memories, our dreams, our hopes. we made wishes and offered them up in prayer as we ignored the technicality of it and tossed two coins in cinderella’s fountain, as we closed our eyes as the fireworks boomed and made a wish.
so this is love. so this is what makes life divine. i’m all aglow and now i know the key to all heaven is mine. my heart has wings and i can fly. i’ll touch every star in the sky. so this is the miracle that i’ve been dreaming of. so this is love.
dwell in possibility…
