A Crown of Splendor

Proverbs 4:7-9

“Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding. Esteem her, and she will exalt you; embrace her, and she will honour you. She will set a garland of grace on your head and present you with a crown of splendor.” 

My Father, I love you so much! You are such a great God and loving Father; you have been so kind to me. I praise your Holy and Mighty name!

My daughter, be at rest. Speak from a restful heart. I love you.

Okay Dad, I will do exactly that. I let go of anxiousness in Jesus name, and I remember your love over me and inside of me. Nothing can separate me from your love. It’s your love that I’m walking in.

My daughter, I have a word for you today.

Father, please tell me -I love you.

It’s time to rise up. Stand up boldly.

Father, I need your anointing and I need you to release my tongue. You’ve done so much in my heart and now I need you to enable me to speak it out. I couldn’t do the things you’ve done in my heart and I can’t speak on my own, so please draw me nearer to you and enable me to speak. 

I will surely help you my daughter. Prepare.

Okay Father, you know what you’re doing and I’m trusting in you. 

Reflection:

Okay, yesterday was a difficult day for me. I was ready to go running at 10:30 but I was feeling completely overwhelmed and crawled into bed instead, and I slept until 1:30. Then I had my time with God but didn’t have time to do any extra writing.. Going to Power and Praise was exactly what I needed and I’m so thankful that my kids and I went. So two nights ago I had a few dreams. In the first one I needed water and someone gave me their personal water bottle to drink from; not a plastic bottle. As I was drinking from it, I looked into it and saw some water and also the silver lining inside of it. Their water bottle wasn’t full because they had already drank from it. I thought it would be water but as I drank, I tasted the sweetness and the fizz, so I knew that I was drinking something like 7-up or a flavoured carbonated water. In the evening yesterday I went up for prayer, not sure if this represents that.

In this next dream there was a group of people in a building or room that was filled with water. I was standing in water that came up almost to my shoulders. Both Lucas and Bella were there, but they were toddlers. Then I went and took Bella in my arms. This could also represent being at Power and Praise last night. My heart if burdened for my kids because I’ve not known how  to help them in their spiritual walk with God, other than have conversations with them. I’ve talked with them about how I spend time with God and have given them what they need to get started, but there’s no interest; I’ve begun to look in Right Now Media. 

During my nap I dreamt that something had happened; I was underneath the surface of the water outside (feeling overwhelmed) and felt like that whole part of the world had that much water. Then one of the main pastors was there, doing things but I knew in my heart that I needed to tell him about what had happened, so as I was telling him I was also showing him; I was reaching up as far as I could to screw in a long screw but had turned it the wrong way so it came out completely. It had almost been completely screwed out so as I was showing him, I had only turned it counterclockwise once before the screw came out and fell into my hand. So I immediately put it back in and screwed it back in the way it was supposed to go. This action prevented the water level to stay as high as it was; when I screwed it the right way, the water could drain; it was like unplugging the plug so the water could drain in waking life. In this dream I had a feeling like the water represented stress. At the end of my dream the water had left. Right now I’m not feeling overwhelmed or stressed. Later in the afternoon and actually the last few days I’ve been hearing or seeing the word,”you” a lot. To make myself vulnerable again, I’ve been hoping I could be ready to speak at youth but thought someone else would and also thought I wasn’t ready for that, but now I’m sensing something; is this something I need to make myself ready for? Deep in my heart I desire this; I just need some pointers.. Bella has an appointment at the children’s hospital at 1:00 this afternoon with a urologist. It has to do with her having only one functional kidney. I’m not sure exactly what they’ll all check for. But there’s another storm coming, can you believe it? And it seems like it always comes on a Wednesday! Still going to the city today!! Blessings ☕️
