Jesus my Covering

My Father, I love you. Today I’m exhausted. I can feel it deep in my lungs, this covid I’ve eluded for so long.

 Come my darling and rest in my embrace -you’ll be okay. I love you Caroline, remember this always. 

Okay Dad. I’d just like to go back to bed.

You may go, my sweet daughter. 

Reflection:

I slept a bit better last night, although I can feel it in my lungs and I’m a bit more tired than usual -it feels like a very bad cold. My sister who was at my parents brought me some Coleflex, a cinnamon lemon throat spray and lemon ginger tea, and some Lindt milk chocolate that I hid in my desk! 🙂 So far I’m now the only one in my family with symptoms, so Lucas will go back to school on Monday and Bella only on Friday because she wasn’t considered fully vaccinated; two weeks hadn’t passed since her second dose when Lucas tested positive. 

Last night I dreamt that it was dark, and I needed to travel a length down a road in the darkness. When I looked to where I needed to go, I could see that an area was being guarded by a small black flying thing that had a weapon I think. I needed to travel that distance undetected by this and get to what it was guarding. I also vaguely knew and remembered that I had taken off my mantle or cloak and put it inside some sort of changing room or bathroom, which was also the place I’d be getting too at the end of this dark stretch. I had put it right inside the door so that when I reached that place, I could quickly put it back on which would protect me or give me my strength back from the difficulties of getting to that place. 

This afternoon I was thinking about it and I think I know what these two dreams are referring to, although I’m open to the Lord for his correction (I also had had a quick picture of two tires together like a play structure in a park.). I think the tires represent two weeks of being tired because of covid and needing to be refuelled. During this time of physical rest, I’ve taken the cloak off and will put it on again quickly after this second week of rest is done. I think that getting to this place undetected by the enemy means for me not to get discouraged or anything from the enemy because that’s how he’ll find me. As I’m thinking about the cloak, I’m so amazed by it because it tells me that when I do my recordings, God so graciously provides for me, reminding me of his nearness and his anointing over me. In this very adventurous journey together, I can’t help but grow in my love for him!!
