"A Dream is a Wish your Heart Makes"

The small minds of children brings happiness and joy to parents as they see their children growing and learning about the world beyond the front yard. But there is also wonder and a fair amount of curiosity of what their dreams and thoughts are, how they grow with them and how they change overtime. Sometimes they drift away from those certain dreams and explore other ones to pursue, but during other periods of their lives, they somehow come back to their original dreams, thoughts from when they were young and you hope that they achieve those early dreams and they become a success through them and that it brings not only you joy, but them as well.

Previously, in my first post, I mentioned how I used to make up stories about Abraham Lincoln from the book my grandmother had which now sits in our dining room china closet. My idea of writing came about when I was seven years old and I'd make up stories in my head, write them down on paper or scribble in my notebook pretending I was writing a story. Of course, I've thought about other career paths, and still do, but somehow, I've always gone back to writing since it is something I've always known. Something that helped me express myself as expressing my thoughts verbally has never been my strong suit.

As for Abraham Lincoln, from what my grandmother has told me and still tells me like she did this past Easter, is how I'd make up stories about him and his mother, Mary Todd Lincoln, that had nothing to do with their real lives. I guess you can say that our 16th president helped me become the writer that I have strived to be. I know that writing isn't easy, but somehow, someway, I always come back to it. Too many thoughts jump around in my mind, story titles, pieces of scenes I picture in my mind. 

God has drawn me back to writing and I hope that He will guide me in the right direction on where to go with it and hope that one day I can be a success and that other writers such as myself can get the inspiration to follow their dreams and not forget how they began in the first place and always go back to that.
Jeremiah 29:11: "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end."
