DREAMS CAN COME TRUEI have had dreams during my lifetime,
some have come to reality others I am
still holding out for. Starting a children's
home was one of my dreams and I got
to see that come to be. Regretfully I had
to turn loose of this dream after being
asked to leave because I changed the
direction my personal life. I truly
feel that I sacrificed for over 25
years to provide a
home for disadvantaged children.
I never minded the sacrifices because I
knew that children were benefiting
from the home. The direction I took in
my personal life was to finally be able
to be with the "girl" I have loved for
over 45 years. Due to a few bad choices
I made at the age of 19 my whole
life swerved and went in a direction that
spiraled. I was caught in a whirlwind
of religious politics and I could not
break out. One might ask how that
can happen. I wanted to please
the Lord with all my heart, I wanted
to serve Him in every way and I
thought those that were mentoring
me were doing so in my best interest.
I graduated from a Christian bible
school and then went to college to
get my BA and BS and later my
Masters. After you turn around
for so long it is possible to just go
with the flow, losing your own way
and just following along. Knowing
that your dreams that you had for
yourself, your personal life would
never be. There is no doubt in my
mind that I still want to serve and
please the Lord with all my
heart. That has not changed.
Well, I am here to tell you, my dream,
my love was to be with the woman I
am now with. It took a death, a funeral,
and a chance meeting after 45 years
to bring this to be. But I now know
with all my'heart, this is where I
should have been from the age of 14,
when I first fell in love with my dream.
She has been the circle around my
heart for that long. I dream now of
catching a fish as big as the one in
this picture and I dream of having
another boat like the one in
this picture. I had a great boat and
gave it up so that I could make this
life change. Now I am believing that
I will one day have a boat like this one
and will catch a fish as big as this one.
Don't ever give up on your dreams.

Wayne - I hope that all your dreams do come true. You deserve it...and so much more. Thanks for all your sacrifcing and your patience. "Good things come to those who wait." I would say that you have waited long enough, huh? Love, Bunnie
The burdens we carry through out our lives are most often put on us by our fellow men. They often mean well, but The Lord tells us His yoke is easy and burden is light. Following and serving Him is the avneue to our dreams being fulfilled. When we seek Him and His Kingdom we find peace and "Light".
God knows a truly broken and repentent heart and honors that. He sees through the actions and words to the heart. That is when dreams come true and desires granted. I see lots of "fish caught and boats docked" for you, because you are a fisher of men as well as a fisherman.
I Love You,
Your Sissy
It is sad that you had to sell your
boat. Everything should have been sold you would think. Sorry about the boat.
