Believe Your Dream

Watching Jasper race across the field toward her, had the effect of making her feel as though she could walk again. Andy knew what the doctors had said, but she also knew her faith, or more accurately, her belief, could accomplish feats that the average person may not even be able to comprehend.
Thinking back over the past year and all that had transpired since her accident, Andy realized life goes on, even when at the time, you want to die and you want to give up all hope! Life goes on!
Sitting in her wheel chair, watching Jasper running like the wind, she knew he was trying to show her, she could run like the wind also. What a magnificent horse he is, she thought, as he slowed to a trot that stopped only as he reached her feet.
"You are so right, Boy, we'll show them, I will run again, we'll show them, won't we boy, we'll show them!"
Tears finding their way down her cheeks, she cuddled in more closely to Jasper's neck, as he lowered his head for her hands.
Jasper was an amazing horse, though most likely not more fantastic than most horses, just more understood and more loved than many. Andy reached her arms as high up around Jasper's neck, as she could reach. Trying to make her legs work by shear will power, no response, as she let herself back down to the chair.
Not permitting herself to be discouraged by the lack of response to her command, Andy simply said, "Not yet, but you will." Turning her attention back to the horse who remained standing at the foot of her chair, as if waiting for her to slip up on his back and squeeze with those legs, the direction he was to carry her, she smiled.
Her secret belief safe with Jasper, she knew she would walk, though she refused to share her belief with anyone else, for fear they might try to dissuade her positive belief.
It was like that sometimes, folks don't want to see us disappointed, so, they think they are doing justice, by doubting our desire, cautioning us from dreaming, when dreaming is really what we are all about. Make a dream, move toward that dream, then watch God bring about the reality of the dream.
