Proverbs 9:9-11
“Instruct a wise man and he will be wiser still; teach a righteous man and he will add to his learning. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy one is understanding. For through me your days will be many, and years will be added to your life.”

You’re welcome My daughter. Come, all is well with you.
Papa, do You have a word for me today? I’m sensing the word, hope, feeling like it’s been restored. Thank-You Papa. I feel like I’ve been given a life-line.
Papa, I’m sensing silence, but I’m resting through it.
Caroline My daughter, rise up.
Papa, I’m doing my best. You know my heart; lead me to take steps forward. Open the way before me and help me not to resist You. I know I can do all things in Your strength.

Reflection
Hello everyone, welcome to today’s page in my journal! The Lord wakes me up most nights at certain times after He’s given me a dream, which I sometimes don’t know the meaning of but other times I do, and it’s such a great comfort to my heart. I absolutely love sharing what God is doing in my heart, hoping it’ll inspire you to spend time with God everyday and grow the most fulfilling relationship with Him!
Last night I woke up at 11:30 with the lyrics, “My God is with me I know he’s alive, how can I keep it inside!” Then shortly after I woke up at 11:37/38 and had heard in my heart, “step into.” I saw 11:38 but I didn’t immediately look at my phone to see what the time was. I chose the versus above because when I opened my Bible, it opened to that page:)
This dream had several different parts: I was in the States, inside a building/room. I was part of a group of people, a team who were walking a very long distance that started in Canada. It started with one person who began walking a long distance (felt like from somewhere like Winnipeg) to the US border. In my dream I didn’t remember being at the US border, but we were all from Canada and had walked to the state where we were in. The feeling I had about where I was, was several states down from the border Not everyone had arrived at first, but then the scene changed where a man with his five children had just arrived. I saw an older boy and the rest were younger. I was amazed that he would travel with all his kids; a few of them were very young and I think one of them was still a baby/toddler that he had sheltered underneath his jacket. His wife didn’t want to come. He was talking to me in my dream but I don’t think it was meant for me to remember, but one thing he was more clear to me about was that he had another ticket (which aloud another person to come with us) in the inside of his jacket in a pocket that was meant for someone who had changed his mind and didn’t come (I think it was in a white envelope.). When he said this to me, he was earnestly looking directly at me. I don’t know if he meant me. I hadn’t changed my mind but only God can see my heart; I had begun to think again how difficult this task is and that maybe I can’t do it. But I’m so encouraged by my dream that I have more strength and will definitely keep going.
Then the scene changed where I had a feeling like I was inside a church building, and the main pastor was with me. I didn’t see him directly but felt his presence more and vaguely saw him out of the corner of my left eye. It felt like his presence and authority was bigger than a person. I had a feeling like he wouldn’t be there at the church soon and what his will was for the four other pastors is to be equally the four main pastors after he was gone so that they could equally share the weight of speaking. That way when one of them wasn’t there, all the others could share the load rather than just one person’s weight getting heavier. I was telling this to them because I knew what the main pastors will was because he told me (I don’t remember him telling me but it was like he had already told me and that’s why I knew.), and it was up to them to listen or not. This was advice from the main pastor. I was telling them, that to have more than one main pastor (if they didn’t want four, then three or two) was better so one main pastor didn’t need to carry the whole load. I saw the four young pastors who I was telling this to, one at a time walk out of the room and walk down a hallway (This happened but I actually only saw one of their backs as he followed the others out.). I don’t know if they agreed to what I was saying. They heard but it felt like they needed to be convinced.
Another scene was, I was inside a room with someone from our group, looking down at their shoes. I saw that they were wearing a pair of white runners that they got and that everyone else got who was in our group. Someone asked me if the runners I was wearing were the ones I got from them, and I said no. I looked at them and they reminded me of Converse high top runners. The white runners they were all wearing were a reward (from whoever had organized the journey) for walking on this long and difficult journey. I knew mine were waiting for me in the office. In my dream I knew that the journey could have been made by car, but then the challenge wouldn’t have been there. The challenge was for all of us to walk from somewhere in Canada, cross the border, and walk several states down to the state where we were in.
Then the scene changed where the group of people I was with were all sitting down, like we were sitting outside on logs or something, just hanging out, not talking but pondering and taking it all in. It was so peaceful. We were all facing one direction like looking at a sunset. I had my arms up around my knees like I was sitting on the ground. I remember thinking as I looked at my group, that I was so amazed and thankful that I was part of this group. I had a knowing that the group of people I was with, maybe five or six I’m not sure, were doing something so important; like we were on such an important and holy mission. God’s presence was so strong with us and in us. I’m so encouraged and in such awe of God. I’m also so amazed and thankful to be part of my group.❤️
