Dress Of My Dreams
How am I supposed to know if this "something" on my heart is pulling me in the right direction OR dragging me away from the things that I "should" be working on instead?
I've been dreaming about these dresses since 2012, but there have been far too many logistical challenges standing in my way.

Even if it's just to inspire a few heartfelt journal entries that end in prayer:
