Life can hand us some sweet dreams, but those dreams can sit on the shelf for years or even a lifetime. The dreaming can be quite fun, but the waiting can be quite the headache. How long is too long to wait - I say there is no limit if the dream is from the LORD. My grandson, Oliver, found this state puzzle quite the challenge when we sent it to him at age 3. He needed his parents to help him the first 10 or so tries, but he hung in there and finished the whole thing BY HIMSELF well before his 4th birthday. You can see the strain on his face, but he never gave up. Way to fulfill that dream, Ollie!!! I want to encourage you to never let go of an idea or dream. This book series idea came to me about 10 years ago. I put pen to paper and moved it over to my computer. A dear editor friend (Bethany McShurley) helped me edit the first 3 books. I tried to find a way to get it published while moving continents twice, homeschooling, going back to school to get my master’s, helping three kids get settled into college, seeing 2 daughters married, experiencing the joy of the birth of 2 grandsons, etc. While most of this was going on, I was an ocean away from my home country making it tricky to pursue this ‘book thing’. Needless to say, it sat and sat on the shelf of my heart. I do know that if this is God's idea, even this grandma will be a published author before we know it. I hope this song encourages anyone currently struggling with waiting for their dreams to become a reality. LORD, HELP US TO HEAR YOUR VOICE AND WALK OUT YOUR DREAMS FOR OUR LIVES. MAY EVERY DREAM BLESS YOU AND OTHERS!! - Laura Martin

This is very true. I have been amazed at how my boys develop with time and perseverance. A great feeling when you have been helping them over and over and suddenly they can do it all by themselves!
