The Architect of Inception

"It was just a dream all so long ago, I was so high in the sky, just don't let me fall." Those are the great words of a talented young rapper by the name of B.O.B. What are dreams and how does the lord work in them? Dreams seem to be something that we truly love and adore, something that takes us from a world not meant for us and place us in a world made for us. Whether it's what we think of as our future or what we're thinking about as we dream, they have captured our hearts like a favorite memory. Think of all the songs, speeches and movies about our dreams, Dream weaver by Aerosmith, The Wizard of OZ, It was just a dream by Nelly, the history changing I have a dream speech by Dr. King. Everyone uses dreams to connect and relate because they are like yesterdays, everyone has one and can understand where you are coming from when you use them to be descriptive of what your trying to prove or tell. My favorite dream usage comes from the movie Inception, one of the greatest movies ever made in my mind. Inception is a movie about dreams and different levels of dreaming, where you meet your enemy at each level which happens to be you and your own subconscious. The deeper you go the more dangerous it gets. At one point of this movie the lead actor finds someone else to design his dreaming because his memories keep interrupting the job at hand, this is our life. Our life is our dream, we can't continue to sleep on the days we live thinking that we can only accomplish our hope through something that's only a dream. If you want to go change the world go and do so, if you believe that you can stop what is the downfall of man reach out and break the fall, and if you can hinder destruction then why not be the world's hero. I recall 25 years ago a group of brave men and a teacher bravely lead us to the heavens from the space shuttle Challenger. They left this level of life to touch the face of God, President Ronald Regan said after their ship fell to piece mid flight. Yet their legacy is still greater than most of us that still live way after they have died. For all that this life is made of is different levels of dreaming where on the first level you fight your subconscious telling you not to even start, just dream and the second level is a stronger you telling you no and on the third level is the impossible telling you that you can't. When the truth is that your enemy is a memory reminding you of how weak you USE to be, of how you USE to fail, of how it's impossible for you to go to the next level of your life because the map is to hard to navigate. We are weak but we can gain strength, we have failed but there are second chances, and the map is much to big to navigate but we can find a new architect. When Jesus is our guide, our power, our designer, our hope, our second chance, and our architect all things are possible. Doors shut and others are open, streets close but new ones develop, bridges fall but others are built. We shall overcome, we shall ascend, level after level shall past and there will be no blocks,there will be no dreaming without doing, and there will be no waiting in limbo. Just a lot of earth shattering change! With faith abundant, Jesus can construct dreams like an architect in Inception. May God bless you, may God bless this country we call home and may HE continue to be the architect of our lives.
