My Father, I’m in awe of how great you are. I love you so very much!
I love you My darling. Come, I have a word for you today. You are Mine.
Thank you Dad. I do feel like I belong, and that I belong to you.
Come My darling, it’s time.
Okay Dad, I fully trust in you. Thank-you for preparing my heart and for drawing me close to you in our journey together. Thank-you that you are my constant loving companion.
Reflection:
This morning I slept through my alarm and the Lord woke me up at 4:51; my class started at 5:00, so I thought I’d be too late but then remembered the dream the Lord gave me and thought I’d better go, so I did and I’m so glad I went! Today we did hang cleans for warm ups; back squats for the strength part -I’m a bit embarrassed, I only did 70Ib, but I haven’t done them in 7 years; Power cleans and front rack reverse lunges for time (20x 2 Power Cleans & 2L/2R Front rack reverse lunges. My weight was only 50Ibs… The dream the Lord gave me to help me get up was that I was inside and there were about three other adults there, talking. I walked towards them, trying to get their attention to tell them something. One of them was listening to me as I was trying to stand up from being in a back-squat position like I would if I had weight on my shoulders. I did manage to stand up straight in my dream, so when I remembered my dream I thought that the Lord had shown it to me to encourage me to still go, and I’m so glad I did! Last night I hadn’t gone to bed early enough so I was really tired, so late this morning I took a nap and dreamt that I was driving my tuck and it was really snowy and white outside. As I was driving all of a sudden a bunch of white snow dropped onto my windshield and I tried to push it off with my windshield wipers but it wasn’t working. I tried steering to the left because I remembered that just before all the snow came onto the windshield, I was near the side of the paved road so I knew that I needed to steer a bit to the left in order not to drive onto the shoulder. So as I was steering a bit to the left (I remember seeing the steering wheel and it was difficult to steer), I felt the truck slide further into the ditch and then the truck began rolling over into the ditch. Then the truck had stopped rolling and in my dream I had a picture of the truck on it’s side way in the ditch, and the truck was still running. Then I saw there was someone sitting in the front passenger side and another adult sitting in the backseat but was leaning forward so that he was between the person in the passenger seat and myself. Then I also knew that there were two kids sitting in the furthest seat back. Then I said something like we need to get out of the truck. Then I was looking to the left and noticed a small cleared out space where someone could comfortably sit (right beside the drivers side of the truck, but there was no door that separated this area from the drivers seat), which was covered by the white snow, and I heard some people on the other side of the snow talking and thought that if they would come through the snow, they’d be able to sit inside this sheltered area -it wasn’t that big, enough room for one, maybe two people. Then the scene changed where I think I was sitting in the passenger side of the truck and we needed to let the leader know (Jesus my husband) what happened so that he would come and help us. It had been arranged that we would meet him and the others at a certain location but now we couldn’t meet them there, so he’d need to come and pick us up. I had my cell phone and was reaching for it when I said that I’d text him to let him know. The feeling in my dream was that I was excited to text him. The feeling I had in my dream was that our whole group of people were away somewhere, going to an event. I think this dream points to this timeframe in my journey with Jesus as being nearly done. Because it was the white snow that caused me to roll over into the ditch makes me think that I didn’t go into the ditch because of a wrong reason, and I felt a togetherness with the people that were with me. I believe the person that was sitting in the back seat that was leaning forward between the passenger and myself represents Jesus and the Holy Spirit. The atmosphere in the truck was peaceful and uplifting, hope in the midst of difficulty. I looked at this middle person and the middle person was looking forward. This brings comfort to my heart… Yesterday I went to Costco, and because it’s Christmas I splurged a bit more and bought some chocolate seed clusters and assorted nuts -so good:) Yesterday we had wraps for supper; I soaked beans today but we need to leave in an hour so I may need to finish making them tomorrow and have leftovers today. Hope your week is going well -blessings.. I’m ready!!!
