Many of us have dreams that reside in our hearts; these thoughts of what we would like to do or be, yet so often those things go unrealized. The same had been true for Zechariah and Elizabeth, as they had wanted a child but had not been able to conceive. That is, until the angel Gabriel comes to Zechariah and tells him that Elizabeth will conceive, and this child that would be born to them is the one we know as John the Baptist. So Zechariah and Elizabeth surrendered and then realized their dream; how about us? What is the reasonable expectation of faith for realizing dreams and how do we respond when it seems our dreams will simply never come to fruition?
