I am reminded of Langston Hughes' poem ; "Dream Deferred" "What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore - and then run? Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over - like a syrupy sweet? Maybe it just sags like a heavy load. Or does it explode?"
A ravenous reader from birth, Langston Hughes was one of my favorite writers. His writing is so honest, so pure. Honesty is something I've always believed in. Not for religious reasons. Simply because it is right.
I want to tell every young person to never give up! If you feel a stirring in your heart, a calling, go for it. Pursue it. Please don't let your family, your "loved ones" prevent you from being the person you want to be.
Tune out all negative people. Tune into the voice of the LORD. Pray, ask Him how.
If you don't have a dream, get one. Spend some time alone. Get to know you. Don't spend your time comparing yourself to others. Don't try to copy other people. Be your unique self. "Do you!"
Do know that GOD is Awesome! His WORD is Awesome. His plans for you are Awesome. Be abundantly blessed today!
