Dreamer...

Yesterday I took the kids to the dollar matinee to see the movie, Dreamer. Okay, I admit I am drawn to sappy films about horses!! What a wonderful story, based on real events! I don't want to give away too much of the plot, but the main character is a little girl who is hopeful, optimistic and determined. She sees something good in a broken-down wreck of a racehorse- when everyone else is ready to give up on her..... I am a dreamer and I love happy endings!!
The late-great ragamuffin, Rich Mullins once sang, "Everywhere I go, I see You". The closer I get to Jesus, the more my eyes are opened. I see Him in nature, I recognize Him in others, I find Him in movie plots and I feel Him working in me. He can take a poor, discouraged, broken-down person like me and turn me into someone who loves. He gives me courage to get up and run the race again. That is the truest proof that He exists. My heart is changing! At times I doubt, I am stubborn and struggle to go back to what I used to be, to the "normal" I once knew, but it seems so dull and empty now. Jesus says, "Come and learn of Me, for I Am gentle and lowly in heart and you will find rest for your soul." Jesus is the great rehabilitator Who sees a winner in every one of us!!
