wishing, dreaming, praying

wishing...
It's sitting in your room waiting for 11:11 to hit the clock, or standing at your window waiting for a shooting star, or making a wish before you take in a huge breath and then let it out to blow the birthday candles out. I will admit that I still do these things even though I am still waiting for my wishes to come true. It gives you a slight sense of hope in that very moment. Maybe, just maybe that thing you are wishing for might just come true. I have always wanted to tie a wish to the end of a balloon, and then release it into the heavens. When I was a little girl I remember letting a ballon go and letting it fly to the sky. My head would draw back further as I watched it go further and further up. Maybe someday I will find my balloons up in heaven somewhere when I get there.

dreaming...
Of course, a dream is a wish your heart makes when your fast asleep.
I am one of those people where a dream seems so realistic that when someone wakes me up, I am truly dissapointed that it is not real. I seem to have more dreams than nightmares, because I have always been a dreamer. I always imagine things the way I want them to be. My imaginations always come true through my dreams. So, I guess what that popular disney song says could be true.

praying...
I seem to ask God for a lot, and I think most all of us do. Lately it seems that I have been doing more wishing and dreaming than praying, although, I strongly believe that prayer overpowers both. My wishes though, go to God. Sometimes I get so frustrated because I want everything right now. I sometimes don't understand why he can't just hand my wishes down to me. If he did though, I think I'd be one ungrateful person. He gives me an oppurtunity to be patient, because good things come to those who wait.
