If it’s your dream and it’s atainable, go for it! We have dreams put into our heads because at certain seasons in our lives, that’s what we need to be doing!

Great post Iris. I never liked motorcycles myself, too noisy, but God gave each of us different dreams, different desires, and likes and dislikes. Here’s the thing. He gave us these dreams and desires, but few of us ever follow after them. Desires will drive you past the destructive force of passivity; it will drive you through discouragement & delay; desire will drive you to discover new gifts and desire will drive you to become a servant. These thoughts came from one of the pastors in my church today. P.S. Our senior Pastor also rides a motorcycle. Zoom, Zoom, Zoom.

Dear One,

I don’t believe there’s any such thing as a “flawed dream,” so long as we are listening to the dreams that the Lord has planted on our hearts.

Now, truth be told, I chuckle a bit to think of you on a bike. You! LOL But OH….what a wonderful, freeing dream it is, Iris. Absolutely living “outside the box,” if you ask me. And you know how important I believe it is to “live outside the box.”

So…you go for it. You keep this precious dream before the Lord. He will bring all things to fruition according to everything that he’s planted on your heart.

As for me? I dream of being a best-selling author. Not for fame and money, no. But because I want my stories to speak into the lives of millions of children; I want millions of children to know and to love my characters the way I do. I want their little hearts to be inspired.

I also have always had a passion to speak Spanish fluently, and in recent years God has given me a HUGE burden for Mexico. I don’t know what that all means, but I know it’s from the Lord. I’m just going to have to keeping waiting to see what happens, you know? But Mexican people bring me to holy tears, if you know what I mean.

So, those are a couple of my dreams.

I hate motorcycles so badly! (3 specific reasons!) BUT I can see why you’d like to do that–looks like fun and great way to experience the scenery!

One of the Blogging chicks is a motorcycle girl.

What a cool dream. I am so glad God made us all have different dreams too. Otherwise it would be so boring here! HAVE FUN!

You go girl! That is an incredible and doable dream. So perfect for you.

Now remember – that the Pacific Northwest is some incredibly beautiful country – and you want to get here before it starts to rain. Summer is wonderful here. So get going girl – can’t wait to meet you!

Hey, Iris, it’s not hard to picture you as a ‘biker for Jesus’:-)…you’ve certainly got the heart! Let’s lift this dream to the Lord and see what happens! I’m tickled you’d want to visit me! My hubby used to have a motorcycle when I first met him back in ’76, but I only remember riding with my cousin when I was a kid (and got my leg burned on the tailpipe:-)…Blessings & hugs to you!.

I’ve always dreamed about being a Biker-Mama myself – so it’s a good thing.

Lovely carnival post, I hope all your dreams come true! I would have something, but a disaster of chocolate pudding got in my way...
