Our God is so personal.
Did you ever dream of going somewhere when you were a small child? I did. Growing up in the Midwest, my idea of warm temps and beautiful waters was Florida. Our family took plenty of vacations, but never to Florida. As an adult, I put that dream aside.
Until this year.
My husband recently needed to attend a conference out of state. The option came up for me to accompany him. We'd cover my half of the expenses, and we'd have evenings free. And during the day, I could do my own thing. Guess where the conference was being held? Florida.
As we prayed about me tagging along, God reminded me of my little-girl dream. I'd seen the Atlantic ocean from farther north. But I wanted to see the ocean from the tropical locale of Florida, so during one of the days, I rented a car and God made that dream happen, too.
The weather was perfect. The temps bearable. *grin* And everyday I was so grateful to be there. To enjoy the pristine setting with my husband. What a gift!
God is so great about:
1) remembering our dreams
2) honoring our dreams
3) fulfilling even the ones we've laid aside
4) personally seeing to our heart's desire
I love Him for that! It's another way He woos us to Himself.

That's so great, Annette. I feel very blessed to get to travel on business trips with my husband. He have friends and churches all across the country because of his travels over the past 15 years. I'm not sure what my life would have been like if I hadn't been afforded the opportunity. Travel is fun! Glad you enjoyed having your dream come true :-)
Thanks, Katie. I'm glad you got to take all those trips with your husband, too. :)
