I'm a daydream believer...wanna know why? Because daydreams aren't just daydreams, they are snapshots of what God has planned for us. You may think that longing in your soul was from you, but God created you for a divine purpose and wired you different than the other 7 billion people on the planet. He created you for specific things that only you can do the way you do it. Think of a singer - many people can sing, but not just anyone can belt out like Pavarotti or Luke Bryan.
