Isaiah 48:17
“This is what the Lord says – your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go.”
My Father, thank-you for being here with me. I love you.
I love you My daughter; you are mine and you always will be. Come, rest, be anxious for nothing.
Father, I’m anxious about stepping up, but I’m determined to do it.
Caroline, I have a word for you today, would you like to hear it?
Yes Father, with all my heart.
Rest
Father, I feel so silly that you consistently need to remind me to rest. I need your help to remember to rest.
My faithful one, don’t worry about what you don’t know. Trust me and I will see you through.
Okay Dad. I’m lifting my eyes to look up into your face. I know that you will always preserve me. Thank-you Jesus..
You’re welcome My daughter.
Reflection:
This is my 55lb Squat Snatch I did yesterday:) Working my way up! In my dream I was in water or a river, laughing and talking, having a feeling of having a really good friendship with a main leader of a group, and I was telling this person that I really wished I could be part of the second day they got together. I don’t know if this is just a reflection of my own personal feelings; I do feel this way and I’m hoping it can work out. Then the scene changed where I was at this persons house, along with a few others. One of my friends in my dream needed to go to the bathroom, so she was in the big bathroom (I was standing just outside of the open doorway) and she looked in the toilet and saw that someone forgot to flush, so she turned around and made a “that’s gross” expression, but then turned around right away and flushed the toilet. We were both so surprised that when she flushed, the toilet began cleaning itself; the water was so strong as it poured into the toilet bowl that it made a water mess. Then the scene changed where this person was leading, walking down a hallway going toward the living room. But as I hurried to catch up with him I found myself in the hallway but I couldn’t see him, so I wasn’t sure which way to go. Then we were about to go into the living room when we both realized, even though we had a close connection, it would still be a bit awkward with just the two of us; I know that sometimes being awkward is awkward, but I also know that the best thing to do is embrace the awkwardness, just like embracing quiet times with the Lord when I’m not sensing his voice in a conversation. I’m resting about any awkward moments.. Then the scene changed where I was still in this persons house and I knew that my hair was all messy, so I thought I’d quickly go to the bathroom and fix my hair. At one point I vaguely remember seeing a woman looking into a mirror on the bathroom wall.
Then the scene changed where I was in a big truck like a dump-truck, with my sister Connie. I was sitting in the middle of the one long seat in the front and she was sitting on my right -on the passenger side. Then I noticed the same kind of truck driving ahead of us and the truck we were in was following that truck and I knew we were headed in the wrong direction so I looked to my left and saw there was no-one sitting in the drivers seat, so I quickly slid over to drive and made a quick U-Turn. I didn’t care if I hit anybody I just knew that I needed to turn around and was very determined so I just did it without looking in the review mirror to see if anyone was coming, and I didn’t end up hitting anybody. I vaguely remember though that it took me a few attempts to turn around like in a video game where if it doesn’t work, then the game immediately takes us back to where we started.
Then the scene changed again and Connie and I were at the main leaders house again. I saw that the main leader was busy organizing something, and I was disappointed that our closeness was interrupted. Then I was in the bathroom and I looked into the toilet and saw that it was very clean. I also saw that there were no bathroom walls, only light-coloured cotton cloth curtains that were like the walls. As I was looking at them, kind of in wonder that I was actually there, I saw that part of the cloth was open in several places so I closed them. I also knew (and I saw a little through the slits in the curtains) that in the same room I was in there was a band setting up their instruments. There was an event happening from church that had come to his house, and Connie was surprised and thought it was so nice that she was there for this event. I also heard from behind the curtains, one of the main pastors voice who had just come to his house too, talking to Connie (who represents the “right way to go”), having a light chat in the main room right next to the one I was in. I wish I could say that I know exactly what this dream means. I know it represents something personal about walking deeper into Gods plans, and that I’m following Jesus in our journey together. Changing the subject, I picked up my new glasses late this afternoon! Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
