Inner Rest

Caroline, draw near to Me -I love you.

Father I just remembered something you told me or showed me in a dream a few nights ago; I was shown that the enemy would try and make me believe something, and through that I’d become discouraged. I immediately thought that I’d do everything to guard my heart from becoming discouraged but I’d forgotten about it until now, and yes, this morning I’ve been very discouraged! I thought I’d be more prepared by now than I am for my next recording.  

My daughter, rest.

Father, thinking about all the pressures, the only way I’ll be able to do this is through having an inner resting in you. 

I love you my darling and I’m proud of you.

I love you Dad. Thank-you for being so near. 

Reflection:

Happy Friday!! My kids watched Tangled the other day and one of my most favourite parts is the smolder, absolutely love it! but poor guy, totally didn’t deserve the pan! Changing the subject, I finally have more books to read, yay! The Lord gave me a few dreams last night, not sure what it all means but as I pursue him, I know he’ll continue to guide my steps! A quick dream that I was in a dark room behind bars and I watched as a man was giving a woman a big box through the bars. This box seemed to be a gift. 

I was standing on what could have been a dock, looking out over the lake. I vaguely saw small ships in the water. There was a person asking me if I wanted to use his boat, but the boat was submerged completely in the water. I had agreed, so then I was walking deep in the water and I could feel the front of the boat where it goes up. As I walked forward I was pushing the boat and it began to come up. Then for some reason it submerged deep into the water again. Then as I was deep in the water facing some buildings, a really high wave was coming and as I was being picked up by it, I was getting ready to be submerged in it.  

A quick dream about running. I was running in the neighbourhood where I lived, and I thought to myself that in my close-by neighbourhood it was safe to go running. I haven’t been running outside this summer because I felt like I was being bullied by some drivers, which happened three times within a few weeks of each other. Maybe I’ll go out again -I prefer running outside.

Another dream where I was driving my vehicle and I looked out of my side window and saw my sister Cathy, meaning pure, walking on the street with my white housecoat on. She was smiling as she was looking at me. 

Another dream where I had just made a dough, cake or cookie dough, intending to bake it when the scene changed where I was standing outside (by the drivers side) facing my friend’s vehicle. My friend, who’s a teacher and who’s name means hills -field, was in the driver’s side because it was her car, and her sister who reminds me of Crossfit because she’s been doing it for years, was sitting next to her. (Though I need to say that where my friend was sitting, would actually the passenger side in waking life, and her sister was actually sitting in the drivers side -I didn’t see any steering wheels. I’m thinking it means that I need to focus again on working out) They were both looking at me and my friend had invited me over to her house. I said sure, but said I was in the middle of baking and asked if I should bring the dough to her house and finish baking it there. They weren’t responding and I sensed it was up to me, so I decided that that is what I was going to do. So as this dream ended I was on my way to go get the dough and join them in their vehicle. I’ve not forgotten what the Lord said to me yesterday, to obey. I was gone for most of the day yesterday as I brought my mom to her neurologist appointment. It went really well and we’re both encouraged by it. But it also means that I didn’t have time to work on my recording, so today I’ll be doing that and planning on recording tomorrow. Many blessings…
