When Dreams are Broken ~ There's Always Tomorrow: Marlo Peddycord Francis

Monday, July 30, 2007

After much begging on his part, Brad talked me into letting him sleep with me tonight while Steve is in Paris. Yes, I said Paris. I know, I'm mad, too. (smile) Before you get too excited, he pretty much only sees the airport. That helps. (bigger smile)
Anyway, Brad climbed in beside me and after about 10 minutes, he raised up on his elbow and said,
"I thought this Tempurpedic mattress is supposed to conform to my unique parts. Well ... it AIN'T formin'!!!!!"
I didn't dare ask what his "unique" parts were. Oh, there's never a dull moment with Brad around ...

Love and hugs,

I'm thinking maybe you shouldn't ask for clarification on this one - just leave it alone... :-)

Our Daily Brad:
"What did he say today?"

About Me

Ten years ago, every dream I had for my future came crashing down when my husband and father-in-law died in a mid-air collision. Rick was a pilot in the US Air Force and to him, flying was no different than walking or breathing. Somehow though, that day, flying betrayed him. Suddenly what was the fourth day of our vacation became the first day of the rest of my life without Rick by my side. How would I raise our 5 year-old son alone? What would I do? Where would I go? Why did my dreams have to die? I have learned in the years since, that what I was asked to do that day was essentially this. I had to be willing to trade my dreams for God’s dreams. Although it was a daunting task ~ by His grace ~ I made that exchange … and the result has been a slow process of turning this loss into a usable experience. Ten years later the blessings are too numerous to count … but it all started when I made that willing exchange. Not only have I been entrusted with this awesome opportunity in ministry ~ but I have learned what to do … and where to go … and that my dreams didn’t die, they’ve only been redefined by a Restorative God who loves me very much. On this blogsite, I hope that we can talk about what it means to accept God’s dreams over our own dreams. I hope that for a little while, we can take each other by the hand ~ and walk this road together. Come, and blog with me … I want to hear about what your dreams have been ~ and what He is dreaming for you today!
Blessings and love ~
