A Dream is a wish your heart makes

I make it a point to live each day as if it were my last.

I tell people I love that I love them. Say sorry if need be.

Laugh a lot everyday and try to make someone smile each passing day.

You can say that I try to squeeze all the joy there is in life. Regret is something I do not want to do when I would breath my last.

Of course there is still a lot of things that I want to do and I have not yet crossed all the entries in my things-to-do-before-I-die list.

One of those is to become a professional chef. The kind that graduated from a known culinary school and wear a toque so high.

Cooking is one of my passions. I love it. I can cook all day and still smile. I can stay in a hot kitchen and not loose my patience. I wish for a kitchen that has all the best equipment; a kitchen with an island where I can entertain friends while cooking. I wish I have enough money to buy all the ingredients that I want and invite friends all the time.

Nothing wrong with wishing and hoping. I wish and I hope all the time. What is wrong is when those dreams turn into covetousness that we can’t wait anymore and forcefully get things our own way…right now.

I know that the path where I am in now is what God wants for me. And I know that some dreams will remain just that…dreams. But does that mean that we stop dreaming? No!

Our God is a loving God. He gives us the desires of our hearts in His own time and in His own way. Who knows, maybe one day I will get to cook for you not as the me that you know now, but as the Chef whose heart’s desire God blessed.

“A dream is a wish your heart makes” is a song from the famous fairy tale Cinderella
