Last year dreams even came up at the Home Run Derby. There was one player: Josh Hamilton who broke the single round record. He hit 28 homers over the course of the derby! Afterward he was interviewed by ESPN, he told the reporter that three years ago he'd had a dream that he would be there. Three years ago Josh had been out of baseball. In 1999 he was a top prospect, but from 2001-05 he was out because of a serious drug addiction. It looked like he had lost baseball forever, and was simply fighting for his life. When he came to faith he began to find strength to fight addiction, then the Lord gave him this dream: hitting in a home run competition at Yankee stadium and interviewed after by a woman (the reporter turned out to be Erin Andrews). When there was little to know hope that he would ever play at the major league level again God told Josh he would make it to the home run derby. Josh remembered that dream, and God delivered. I have a friend who was there in the Stadium. He said as Josh was hitting it felt almost like a holy moment, he'd never heard that many people be so quiet.
What are you dreaming about and do you dare to believe it could come true?
p.s. home run derby tonight 8pm ESPN...go Pujols!
