Some dreams are unfinished because our plans have changed. For instance, the childhood vision of becoming a model, musician, astronaut, or fireman fades with maturity. Some dreams we can never finish, for we cannot turn back the clock. Others were snatched out of our hands by people, events, divorce, the economy, war, crime, or bad choices. We try to live with reality as it changes our dreams, yet underneath we continue to harbor aspirations to be something, to become significant. These aspirations smolder inside us, often unspoken, yet lingering for years. Many of us live in the basement, with our life's superstructure unfinished. Life seems to pass us by, leaving us to wonder, wish, and survive. Is it bad to have unfinished parts of our lives? Not necessarily. And yet there are some things in our lives that we must finish. We cannot afford to leave them unfinished. Unfinished was written to help you understand the difference so that with God's help you can walk by faith, finishing what you can and accepting the things you can't.
