John 3:29
“The bride belongs to the bridegroom. The friend who attends the bridgroom waits and listens for him, and is full of joy when he hears the bridegoom’s voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete.”
My Dad, thank-you for every step we’ve taken which has led me into deeper spiritual freedom. I see your love for me through this, through how kind you’ve been in not rushing me. Because of this I’ve been able to be thorough and genuine with every step forward. You truly are so good to me. I know your deep love for me -thank-you.
You’re welcome My daughter. Rest my faithful one, my darling. You are loved well, and all is well with you.
Thank-you Lord. Father, do you have a word for me today?
Caroline, come closer.
Father, please draw me nearer because I can’t come closer on my own.
I will draw you nearer into my heart. I am pleased with you.
I love you Jesus.
Reflection:
In my dream last night I had just gone into Jesus my husbands house, and I think his parents lived there too. I was standing just inside the door, in the entrance with his parents who were standing behind me and to my right, and I had a feeling that the door was closed behind us. I’m in!! We were waiting because Jesus my husband was sitting on the floor and had his legs going across from one wall to the other (from the entrance to the main area of the house there was a short and narrow area, not really a hallway). I held out my hand (and we shook hands) and introduced myself first to his dad and then to his mom; his dad was taller than me and I sensed their kindness. Then to my left was his younger brother who was really short, looking up at me. I saw his bare arms which were long stumps the length of a hot-dog-bun, and I saw that at the end of each arm his skin was tied in a knot. I reached out my right hand and shook his short arm with love and kindness and introduced myself. Then I was thinking about Jesus my husbands genetics, thinking that our future children could be this way too, which was sad but it didn’t change my heart about loving him deeply. I imagined myself being pregnant, thinking about my unborn baby growing in my womb and it was such a good thing; I had peace and acceptance in my heart about it. Then I saw Jesus my husband move his legs so that we could walk through. Then the scene changed where I was sitting in the main area of the house, sitting on a couch, facing into the room. I was looking around in this beautiful big home and I looked to the side and noticed to my left two couches that were in the kitchen area; They looked like the ones we had when we lived in our Noble Ave. house. I noticed one of them in particular which was a beige love seat. The other one looked familiar too and that one I think was blue. I thought it was neat that the couches were in the kitchen area. There were many people walking around in the house and they each had jobs to do like they were employed there.
Then because I waited for awhile for Jesus my husband to come get me and he didn’t, so I decided to go to where he was. Then as I got up I had walked across the living room and saw the beautiful stairway leading upstairs to my left, I heard his voice, his laugh coming from upstairs. Then the scene changed where I had walked up the stairs and I was standing and bending forward as I rested my forehead/head on the backrest of an L shaped couch; I was standing behind it. The sense I had as I rested is that I was tired but peaceful. I saw Lucas sitting to my left looking forward at something like he was watching TV, and then I saw that Jesus my husband had been resting his head close to mine. He was laying on his back with his face turned towards me with his face snuggled into the backrest. I had a quick thought that if I had known how close his head was to mine I would have rested my head there longer. Then I saw his “wife” there too and they were readjusting the way they were together-it’s a bit difficult to explain because some of it I only saw vaguely, but this is what I saw: When he was laying on his back with his face close to mine, in my dream I knew that it was just him, and the scene then changed where I saw him pushing her up into a standing position. I saw her more clearly than I saw him. He was pushing her up somehow, pushing her up with his back turned to her and her back was turned toward him so that his bum was pushing her bum up until she was at a standing position, yet I saw her whole backside. When she was in a standing position (on the couch) is when I saw she had jeans on. I saw they both were happy and had smiles on their faces. When she was in a standing position, I also saw that she had turned around and was facing me. Then I saw that she wasn’t his wife but his sister and the feeling I had about that is that then I had a knowing about it (in waking life I was relieved when I was reassured through the Holy Spirit), and then I saw her looking at me. Then the scene changed where he was standing in front of me and I asked him if I could walk around the upstairs where we were and look around; it was such a nice house, and he said yes. So then I was walking around looking at everything. I saw in one room that it had a really nice bathroom; I saw through the wide open doorway of the bathroom a row of thick white candles that weren’t lit, going from lower to higher at an angle, and it looked very peaceful. In front of that was a short wall and I knew there was a toilet on the other side of the wall, so the candles were decorating the short wall, so beautiful. I also saw in another part of the house (on the same floor) an area where they took care of all the babies. In my dream I wasn’t shown who’s they were, but there were women who were taking care of them. I saw two sections of babies who were all a few months old or young toddlers. There were about 6 or 7 laying flat on their backs in a queen/king size bed and another small group of babies also laying on a big bed close to that, all laying down on their back. Then I looked to the area of the room to my right and saw another small group of babies, the same age, all laying down on their back on a big bed. All these babies were in two rows, and there were many people all around the house, and all of them were employed there; they each knew exactly what their job was, and they all worked together well, in harmony. Then the scene changed where I was in a bathroom sitting on a toilet going pee:) I was letting go of so much pee that it was really loud, and I was sure Jesus my husband could hear me go pee from the other room he was in. I sensed he was sitting on a couch watching television with someone; I could hear his voice as he was talking with someone. I also saw a very much used white urinal close to the toilet and I could see that this bathroom had been used very much. As I was looking around in the bathroom seeing a lot of beige, and maybe a beige shower curtain, and I could hardly believe I was actually in his/their home -in my dream I felt so blessed and so relieved.
This scene could have come before some of the ones I’ve already written, but in this scene I sensed I was close by the door on the main floor, and I had opened a fridge door. When I opened up the door I saw inside the fridge and saw that on the other side of the rack were more doors that were all completely open -opened into the garage, so it was like the wall between the garage and that part of the house was all a long fridge. Jesus my husbands parents had gone grocery shopping and were bringing the groceries into the fridge. I saw the big garage on the other side of the fridge. I also saw a parked vehicle like an SUV, which I think his parents were using. I saw the side of the vehicle which was parked on the far side of the garage, and I saw there was a large open area for another vehicle to park; I saw the clean light cement and the garage door was open and saw it was nice and sunny outside. When I had opened the fridge door, a smaller pan of pink shrimp began falling off the rack so I immediately pushed it back so it wouldn’t fall off. But then I saw when I did that it pushed a bigger pan of pink shrimp all laying flat next to each other, a little off the other side of the rack making it nearly fall off, and because both pans didn’t have room this way, his mom who had been putting it into the fridge, adjusted it and pushed the bigger pan to the side in order to make room. The shrimp were in flat boxes that were transparent on the top.
This afternoon after my dentist appointment, no cavities!, I drove to the Sobeys on Pembina hwy. I saw that the shrimp was on sale so I bought the smaller ring, not thinking about the size from my dream.. so I’m not sure if I still need to get the bigger ring of shrimp or not; thinking it was pushed to the side so maybe not. I also bought a bag of Miss Vickie’s Lemon and Pepper chips, and because they were on sale if I bought two, I got an All Dressed Up flavour, which tastes really good! I also bought salted peanuts and pretzels. I’m not sure yet what all this in my dream means, though I’m thinking it’s just a reflection of certain parts of my journey with Jesus. In my Bible study I finished John 17:13 today. I did go to the box yesterday and it was just a cardio workout: ring rows, dumbbell holds, rope limbs -so I did another rope climb yesterday, woohoo! My sister texted me yesterday saying that her and a group of ladies were praying for me yesterday; a lady who’s 90 years old sensed that I had an orphan spirit on me which she was praying off of me. I’m volunteering at church for the easter events.. fun! I wasn’t sure if in my dream a little while ago meant that I really do need to join the choir, but I think it’ll be fun so I’m thinking to actually join. Alright, many blessings…
