You know we all have dreams dreams for our children dreams for our marriage

shattered I mean split to pieces What do you do when one of those dreams get shattered?

I mean, split to pieces.

How do you recover?

How do you go on?

Today, we'll talk about how to overcome

the pain of shattered dreams.

Welcome to this edition of Living on the Edge with Chippinggroom. We are a discipleship-driven ministry on a mission to encourage Christians everywhere to live like Christians.

And could you connect to that heartbreak chip just described of having life goals and aspirations just go up in smoke? Well for the next couple of

programs, Chip's going to talk about that disappointment and what God's word has to

say as he continues his series Unstuck. And by the way, if you've missed any part of our study in

Ephesions catch up through the Chip Ingram map it's a great way to listen to

living on the edge anytime. Well with that here now is Chip with today's talk. Of all the things that are

hard to deal with in life I think one of the most difficult things in life to

deal with are shattered dreams And we all have them. When we are little children, I

don't know that we conjure up and think this is dreams. I think it's just

innate. And as little kids we have dreams that consciously or

subconsciously of having a perfect family that we're going to be loved and

affirmed and known and secure and we're going to have a mom and a dad that care about us and we're going to go on

vacations and everyone's going to stay together and we're going to laugh at night

and tickle and throw pillows and we're going to celebrate birthdays and we're going to defend each other.
