Her American Dream

I've been mentoring a woman for over 2 years named Liz. This past weekend I witnessed Liz fulfill one of her life-long dreams. It is a common American Dream. She bought her first home and moved in!

But this was a dream that many told her would never happen. She is the first person in her extended family to ever own a home. She had to overcome a lot of obstacles to accomplish this. Some of the obstacles had emotional roots in her childhood. Other obstacles were simply not knowing what she needed to do - like how to get a loan. Liz embraced the changes she needed to make in her life with determination and even zest!! She was driven!!! There were so many unexpected blessings along the way that we both knew that God was guiding this process and she was on the right track.

How appropriate that her dream was finalized on a weekend when we Americans celebrate our freedom - freedom to be what we want to be. I feel so blessed to live in America!!

My wish for you is that you too can live the life of your dreams!
