I have always had crazy aspirations. I am a fan of dreaming big. Nothing happens while you tell yourself why it can't be done.
So this is the plan. Fine tune handbell skills. Buy handbells. Become handbell soloist. Share message of faith through handbell music. I dream of sharing music in churches and teaching children in missionary countries. I dream of speaking to young musicians about following dreams.
These are the things I love: music, handbells, singing, and giving. If I could help the world, I would. This is my dream to help the world.
Today I am a handbell director for my church and ring in a professional handbell ensemble. I have aspirations of building the handbell program at my church and building the handbell outreach in my heart.
There are many other things I do during my days here. I am a stay at home mom, who is rarely ever home. When not ringing handbells, I am a wife to a traveling husband and volunteer fireman, a mom to my precocious 9 year old, a horrible house-keeper, a decent cook, a multi-tasking church volunteer, a Pampered Chef consultant, a faithful servant to God's people, and a good friend.
I will celebrate my 40th birthday in 2014. 1557 Days from today. Am I asking too much of myself to set a deadline for some of these dreams? 4+ years is a long time, but is it long enough? Most folks that know me also know that my days are spent doing a lot of things. In 4 years, I will have a teenager. What will that do?
I ask you, is it possible that there just might be a dream that is too big??
