Staying at the Harley Hotel

Day 126 of Photo Inspirations — Staying at the Harley Hotel
I’m in Edmond, OK with my Texas Family at Oklahoma Christian University, attending and judging the Speech and Debate Competition because my grandson, Payton, qualified for the Regionals.  So awesome to be close enough to make these trips and be a part of their lives as often as I can.

But, tonight I’m in a 5-Star Harley Hotel — my Edmond, OK Family, the Lawrences —  Mark David Lawrence​, Donna Lawrence​, Caleb & Cassidy, as you can see by these photos.  They live, breathe, think, speak and ride their Harley.  And, they are living their dreams.  I took just a few photos here of some of their memorabilia, but this 2nd one was especially touching.  Donna created it from watch faces, watch parts, and relics Mark inherited from my sweet husband’s old bucket of wire, screws, nuts and bolts.

Caleb is blessing me as he is orchestrating a beautiful melodic, jazz song on his synthesizer and piano as I type this.  I’m treasuring these times.  He’s a “chip off his Uncle Ron’s block”.  What he’s doing now — creating and embracing the moment is what Uncle Ron did — with musical journeys and crossroads of faith.

I’ve learned that faith is choosing and believing God’s dream for our life.  God gave us the ability to dream, to create, to imagine. Dreaming is an act of faith. Everything we see on this planet started as a dream.  Ephesians 3:20 says, “Now glory be to God, by His mighty power at work within us, is able to do far more than we would ever dare to ask or even dream of — infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, or hopes.”

Mark never let what seemed to be impossible get in the way of his dream to own a Harley.  Caleb has inbred giftings — he’s had very few music lessons, but the giftings, coupled with the dreams are bringing forth musical compositions that only God knows where those giftings will lead him.  

Why don’t we turn what seems to be impossible situtations into opportunities for getting out of the boat and walking on water?  If we pray more, believe more, trust more, experience more, learn more, and grow more — we just might see more dreams become reality — I’m staying in the dreams-come-true right now at the Lawrence’s — it’s a sweet resting place!
