My daughter come, you are mine and I love you with all my heart.
Father, I’m really leaning into you this morning.
Rest -be anxious for nothing. All is well with you. You are nearly there Caroline, and you can go a little further. Come, lets keep walking my faithful one -I will give you strength. All will go well tomorrow -you’ll see.
Father, I know that you will lead me, so I’m putting aside my anxious thoughts and looking straight into your face. Here I will find rest and comfort as everything else falls away. Thank you for being my Dad, my Shield, my Comfort, my Husband, and my Shepherd.
Reflection:
The Lord gave me a quick picture in a five min nap yesterday. I saw a woman run and quickly climb into a hang glider, ready to take off. I vaguely saw some kind of brown woven basket that she was getting into and it seemed like she didn’t even pause before she was going to take off, but my dream ended before I saw it happen. I’m thinking the Lord is encouraging me, showing me what will happen when I get to the top of the cliff.
The Lord also gave me two dreams last night. In the first one I was in Brazil, in a home, and in a bathroom; my husband had told me to wash my hair in the toilet, and so I was bending over backwards with my head in the toilet, trying to get to the water. I had to go in deeper and deeper, trying to get to the water, but there was hardly any water in the toilet bowl. My head hadn’t touched the water yet, but I couldn’t go down anymore without completely falling on my head in the dirty water, so I desperately yelled for him to come and help me because I couldn’t get out on my own. (I was holding my arms up for him to pull me up.) Then I felt someone take hold of both my hands and pulled me up. When I stood facing my rescuers, I looked to see who had helped me. I noticed my husband wasn’t even in the room, but a small group of people that I could only vaguely see, facing me as I stood there with my hair all wet. I looked down to the floor and saw dirty water on the floor that had dripped from my hair and began to realize how dirty and gross the water in my hair was, feeling completely disgusted.
In the second dream I was in a store with someone and saw rows of records way up on a shelf. As I looked up I saw and recognized a record from my childhood that I had liked. This record was among many others but part of it was sticking out, and thats how I saw it. Then I was standing on a stool, intending to get it when the person I was with read the title of a record in german. I asked them to repeat what they had said, and when they had repeated it, I understood what the german words meant. I really need to pray about this one because I don’t know what it means. Right now I’m still putting together my message for tomorrow so it could represent some aspect about that. I really need grace because it’s going to be so simple.. I will actually be recording on Friday.
Last night there were no clouds in the sky, it was like God had pulled them back like curtains to reveal bright shining stars that lit up the sky like a disco… another way the Lord deeply embraces us saying that he is near.
