Set Apart This Dream

I like when things like this happen.
I got a facebook post that made my day.

It was short and sweet but made a big impact on me.
This is what it said:

i dont know why , but i listened to this song again and it reminded me of you . i have known this song for about a week , and i listened to it today and you popped into my head . i dont know why though ?
well i hope you had a good day today (:

I started my response to her "I've listened to this song many many times and I just felt like I was listening to it for the very first time. I got chills and waves of I don't even know but it was amazing. "

Here are the lyrics:

Close your eyes little girl
You're a princess now
You own this world
Twirling in your twirly dress [I actually still own a pink dress that I used to twirl around in my closet so this made me laugh]
You're the loveliest far above the rest
You build your castles in the skies
Stars reflecting off your eyes
And angels sing on silver clouds
And no one cries, screams, or shouts'

Oh set apart this dream
Oh set apart this dream for me
Set apart this dream for me

Close your eyes pretty girl cause its easier when you brace yourself [I was writing a budget out for this month and upcoming year and planning different expenses right before I got this & it made me think of something else that I've been wanting to write/blog about: 'Not counting the chickens before they hatch'. So who knows what this year will bring but I plan on bracing myself for whatever that may be and TRY and remind myself that
God has a plan
Set your thoughts on a world far off
Where we only cry from joy

Oh set apart this dream
Oh set apart this dream for me
Set apart this dream for me

[I just soaked in all of these next words as truth and it was good.]

Oh lovely and beautiful
Precious and priceless
You're so much more than you know
Heart of the purest gold
Pure clean and white as snow
Clothed in such splendor
Oh what a beauty for me.

Oh set apart this dream
Oh set apart this dream for me
Set apart this dream for me

And the video/song ends with something like this:

You didn't come this far just to be plundered

here down your breath is your strength
Sleep in this haven
The king holds your favor
With love much greater you'll dream

[This last line really hit me.

I have been through a lot. Done stupid things but got back on my feet.

Someone prayed for me many many years ago and they said something along those lines. That I didn't go through different things for no reason. There was purpose in the pain.

And I think the reason I can't sing enough of God's love lately is because I know that it's EVERYTHING. It's the best foundation to have and I haven't quite grasped the depth, height and width of it all. So until I do I want to exchange as much of it with Him as I can. It'll take a lifetime but it'll be good :)

And I want to DREAM BIG.]

Ok I have to go make bagels for the boys now.
