Philippians 4:13
“I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.”
Conversation
Papa, I love You. I worship You Papa with all my heart, and I’m so thankful for You and for Your love for me.
Come My daughter and rest. All is well with you -you are Mine.
Papa, as I was writing the word, “delight” popped into my mind. Thank-You that You delight in me. Thank-You for Your grace in my life. You are worthy to be praised and I praise and worship You. You have my whole heart.
Come My daughter, he who is faithful in little will be faithful with much.
Papa, I love You very much. Help me to be faithful with everything You ask me to do. There’s a few things I want to continue to do before this year is over; begin my painting, write down the tasks from the last two Wellness Wednesdays, find the email about the leadership book (the things I need to think about as I read).
My daughter, I love you and I will help you.
Papa, this verse comes to mind, “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.” (my favourite verse) I believe this deep down in my heart because of my journey with You. I”m so thankful for this journey with You. Thank You Papa.
You’re welcome My dear one.
Reflection
Hi 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!
December 30: 7:33 It was summer and I dreamt that we had bought another house and we were there, looking at the new house we bought. I was walking outside close to the house on our driveway, and I had an exciting thought that we now lived close to a friend of mine. I saw our gravel driveway and it connected to the highway on the east side, close to Kleefeld. My friend didn’t know yet that we lived close to her and I could hardly wait to tell her because now it would be so quick for her to come to our house or for me to go there. I had a mental picture of being able to run down our driveway and onto the road a short ways and then I’d be there. In my dream we lived close to Kleefeld, and in waking life I don’t have a close friend who lives there. Lucas has a friend there who used to live in our town but moved there a few years ago, and in my dream I could have had a vague sense of this.
Then we were in the house and someone had taken out the central vac and was showing it to me. It looked old and I saw that even though it was plastic, some parts of it looked like it was decaying and had some slimy pieces hanging off of it. We had pulled it out to vacuum the rug and I was disappointed that it wasn’t a newer one.
Then I was looking in the cupboard, thankful that they left many things in the house. In the cupboard I saw grey Tupperware dessert bowls that I remember growing up with, the kind where the top snaps into the bottom part which looks like a small round plate. I also saw the top rubber part of baby bottles that have nipples. I had one in my hand and thought to myself that I wouldn’t need to use these because I would go the natural way. I saw they were brown and also saw some pointy ones, just the nipple part.
Then I was looking through the opening of a trapdoor on the floor and I saw a very big hill, long at the top, many stories high, of old, rusted out cars. I was looking at the one right at the top, a bit to my right, trying to look into it because I thought that maybe we could still use it. But as I looked into it from where I was I could see that it was all hallow in the inside and knew we couldn’t use it. I wondered what to do with all of them. There was someone with me and I asked if maybe we should fill the whole hole with dirt to fill in all the empty places.
Then as I was walking around in the house I was enjoying being in it without our dog. I enjoyed having no hair in the house and was savouring the moment. But then I walked to my husband (I think this was my actual but I’m not sure, could have been Jesus) who was in another room and reminded him that we forgot our dog at our old place (we had let her out to the backyard to go to the bathroom and forgot about her, so she was still outside, waiting to come in). Then he and someone, feeling like my brother, were going to go to our old place with our long van and put our mattress’s into it to bring to our new home.
Then I was outside in the front yard with Connie, seeing a beautiful long couch on the front yard facing the streets in town. We lived on Mainstreet but Lucas who was standing on my left, said another street name which I forget. That street was somewhere to my right I think, connected to Mainstreet, because we were looking that way in my dream. But the house was right in town and was the first one on our street. It was a corner lot and had main street in the front and another street on the side of our house which connected to main street. I was looking around and saw a gas station that reminds me of our town co-op, on the other side of the street beside our house. There were a few beautiful tall trees in our front/side yard that I vaguely saw or sensed. The trees weren’t blocking the view. The long couch was part of a comfortable sitting area (though I only saw the one couch) that had some kind of smooth wooden platform in front of it that was on the ground, not on a higher stage, and there wasn’t anything on it. In my dream I remembered that we had gone to this house before: we as a family had walked on the sidewalk that led around the house to the couch set-up in the front. I had a feeling like it had been a community event and we had watched a performance that took place on the platform that was in front of the house. Connie was there (represents the right way to go) and was standing beside me, or close by, smiling and loving the set up. The set up reminds me of Connie because she loves to have these kinds of couch areas to make people feel comfortable; it had a home feeling. My brother-in-law was over for a few hours today and in their conversation my husband said that he dropped the ball or that someone did, thought that was neat because I had dreamt about having done that. My brother in law dropped off his daughter to spend time with Bella. She’ll be staying overnight and we’ll drop her off at their church on Pembina hwy tomorrow on the way to ours. I’m making nachos for supper tonight.
This is my 544th post!! We watched Top Gun last night. Today (hopefully) I’m going to continue painting -two eagles. Two nights ago I thought I woke up at 3:37 (I didn’t write it down right away) and I couldn’t remember my dream, and last night I woke up at the same time, 3:37, and I was half asleep, not remembering my dream but I think if I would have gotten up and pressed into the Lord about it, I could have remembered it. I went to bed at 11:30 last night because I was working on my painting and I was planning to get up at six to bake a pie for today, so I didn’t have the energy to get up. I’m pressing into the Lord about it now, and I’m hoping and praying that Holy Spirit will remind me if it’s important for me to know. Many blessings…
