Homeschooling for an Extraordinary Family - Part 2

When you have a dream, there is always a gap between the vision and your current reality.

How you live in that space makes all that difference. In order to have the dream be reality you must develop into a person who has the capacity and skills to cause that dream. There is growth to be experienced, capacities to be created and developed, new relationships to be established, and skills to be acquired. Realizing that who you are today is not going to get you where you want to go can create tension, to say the least. It is easy to get overwhelmed and give up or give over to the inner saboteur and all your reasons as to why your dream will never happen. It is easy to find agreement from others as to why your dream won’t or can’t happen. You may blame yourself and make yourself wrong for things you’ve done or didn’t do in the past that seem at odds with what you hope to create now. The key is to realize that nothing was “wrong” until the moment you created the dream! In fact, there is still nothing “wrong”, only some distance of time and experience between where you are now and where you want to be. There is nothing wrong with you or anyone else. Everything is as it should be. There are simply new choices to be made and a new context to create. If you plant your feet in love and faith and do what is in your power to do, God will do what you can’t do.
