Dreams

Hello everyone reading this :)

I have lots of dreams... lots of big dreams for the future... I won't share them all with you tho, because dreams are something to be treasured in your heart... not something to be exposed to the whole world. But let me just say this... if you have dreams in your heart... don't let them go. Keep believing for them to come true... remember, God is able to "accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope." (Ephesians 3:20) So if you think your dreams are big... God is able to do even greater!

But dreams require practical action from us, too. They don't just 'happen' automatically, they require us to move towards them and take whatever action is required to make them reality. For example, if you have a dream about a certain house, or type of job, you have to save money, or study in a particular area... or APPLY FOR JOBS in that area... [yes, Greg, he's talking about you] :S... anyway... this is all very obvious... but sometimes in life, it's the obvious things that we don't see!

Hold your dreams in your heart. Don't tell anyone else about them if you don't feel it's right. It's like a special secret or surprise... like an idea that you get... if you tell someone about it before it's ready to come out... it can spoil it. Somehow it changes in your heart after you speak it out. Kinda like a baby and pregnancy.

In Matthew 7:6, Jesus said, "Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs." And in Luke 2:19, when Jesus had been born, and everything was buzzing around Mary she "quietly treasured these things in her heart and thought about them often." Sometimes after watching a movie that moves me particularly emotionally, I like to just keep quiet and keep my thoughts and feelings to myself, because I feel that by trying to explain them, it somehow spoils it.

Sometimes it might seem like your dreams are never gonna come to pass. Maybe you think you've messed up too many times, and God is taking your dreams away.

Maybe that's a load of crap. :)

Habakkuk 2:3 says, "But these things I plan won't happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed."

Be patient while you wait for your dream to come to pass! Hopefully with the dream, God will give you an understanding in your heart that it will all come to place in his perfect timing. God's timing is perfect, he is never early and never late. I'm still single, but I think if I'd been married before now, there's a lot have things that I wouldn't have learnt, experienced, and even friendships with the opposite sex that I may not have formed had I been married before now. Now I can take all the things that I've learnt and experienced into my marriage, make a great start with a good foundation, rather than getting married, starting off a bit rocky, and kinda finding my way through it all in the first few years.

Ecclesiastes 3:11 - "God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has placed eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God's work from beginning to end." Trust him! He's your daddy... he knows what's best for you and when. :)

I think I'll leave it at that for now. I hope someone gets some encouragement out of this... I know I did! :D

God bless and love to you all...

Bloggy-loggy... ur the one...

Hello everyone that reads my blog.

Well, in case you haven't seen the news yet, Newcastle was swept by a terrible storm over the weekend!! I have some pics in my pics section if you care to check them out. (go to myspace.com/gregglesaurus) Gotta put up some pics of the big tanker that got caught on Nobby's beach, too... a very surreal sight in person, let me tell you...

So, how are you all? Good I hope. :)

We got new cordless phones today! :D How exciting. I love technology. I'm gonna have to go set them up soon.

I've been okay lately... I was TERRIBLY depressed this morning when I woke up, tho... but, as usually happens... it was kinda gone once I got up. I think the devil does that to me to try and make me stay in bed sometimes... hehe... STUPID DEVIL! YOU SUCK!

It was soooo weird not having church on Sunday. I went to my brother's church instead on Sunday night. Hehe... their Pastor is funny. Very friendly and down to earth people. I like that in a church.

Lots of assignments to do for TAFE, but I've just about finished. It's been fun, yet sometimes tedious, too. I hate recording sounds, but I love mixing them together. Fun! :D I also finally put some sound to my Killer Iron movie. I might put it up on youtube...

Wellll... that'll do for now. Take care.

Love to you all,

It's been a LONG time!

Hello everyone in blog land. It's been a long time since I blogged on here... or blogged anywhere at all... except for myspace. I only use myspace, cos it's popular and everyone has it... but I still think it SUCKS!

So, what have I been up to lately? Well... I'm currently doing multimedia at TAFE again, which is pretty good. Been a bit of a bludge, lately, though... the teacher's don't really seem to be giving us much work to do. Maybe it's not really worth it? Maybe I should just get a book from the library and teach myself? Still, being at TAFE gives me the opportunity to just 'be' in the environment where I can do all these things I love... and gives me assignments to give me excuses and reasons to do things like make short films or flash movies...

I'm also working as a DJ, doing wedding receptions mostly, and business is good. AND I'm in the middle of a campaign for Microsoft, demonstrating the new Windows Vista.

That's all for now.
