Father, show me my heart. What do you see? What word or thought do you have for me today?
Caroline my daughter, draw nearer still and keep resting -this is the atmosphere in which I can work in your heart. Draw near to me and I will draw near to you. You are mine. Come, I have something for you today.
Father, please share your thoughts with me. Thank you so much for your loving care this shows, that you’d want me to know your thoughts. I worship you Father -Thank-you for your love.
Come my faithful one, it’s time to get up (stand up). You now know the message I want you to speak.
Father, I do know, and I can feel the fire in my heart burning because of it. I finally know!! I know and I’ve already written so much about it. Father, I still need to organize it all to really be ready but I sense the word “ready” within me. I pray that you’d continue to lead me as I put all the pieces together.
I will lead you with my righteous right hand. Come, lets begin a new journey together, you and I. The time is right.
Reflection:
Yay, the starting of another week! I woke up this morning with the words “Sweet Caroline” by Neil Diamond. I have to admit that I really do like my song! Today has mostly gone by already and it seems like I’ve run a marathon! I only have time to write a little now and maybe more later… Two nights ago in the beginning of the night God gave me two dreams which I’ve posted, and then five more, so here are a few more. I dreamt that I was wearing my husbands Tshirt. When I looked down to see my shirt, I saw it had a capital P in the middle of the shirt design. There was someone in front of me that was facing me that also had a Tshirt with a design like mine but I couldn’t see what letter was on their shirt. I also dreamt that I was really enjoying someones home-made white bread! Growing up my mom would always make white bread and buns and it was always so good. When I bake, I normally do half white flour and half whole wheat. I’ve not had the time to bake bread lately. Another dream two nights ago, I was taking a selfie with another persons camera. I noticed the button on it was different than my own. This one I needed to keep holding half-way down to focus like a real camera before I pressed it down all the way. Another dream I was sitting at a small table in my church near the leaders and among the youth. I just quickly want to share that yesterday I had an aha moment.. I love these moments! I was picturing my dream about when I saw someone cutting across the pillow, or cushion case; the Lord was showing me to go straight to the point! I’m also not to cut corners, not to go around them but to keep recording through difficulties. These moments, although difficult, are not the everyday kind of difficulty we face, so I need to not let these opportunities pass by, but to keep going through them and make my Daddy proud!
This evening my friend and I, who I call my Brazilian mom, went to do some grocery shopping for ingredients to make feijoada. We went to Starbucks first and I got something I’ve never tried before, a caramel macchiato, and it was really good! Totally enjoyed it! The other day I watched the full moon come up, absolutely stunning! My son Lucas said it was a blood moon -absolutely amazing.. In the last dream I need to share, my daughter Bella and I had been in a public place and we were walking out. Then we were standing by a stop light and then had taken a few steps when I remembered that I had taken off my shoes and had left them at the public place. So I turned around to go back when I saw my small black purse that I had gotten from Brazil, on the ground by the stoplight. I was surprised to see it there and was thankful that I remembered that I had left my shoes there, or I would not have seen my purse. I didn’t dream that I picked it up (purse-my Brazilian identity?) Then I was in the public place again to get my shoes, which were my black runners. I saw that someone had them in their hands and was stealing them from me. I looked closely at them to make sure they were mine, and I recognized them to be mine. The person ran away with them so I was left without shoes. I saw people sitting at tables around the room but in the middle of the room was a big walking space like in a mall. I just stood there with my arms up a bit, in a questioning kind of way, thinking what am I going to do without shoes? Then I was walking with Bella in a big building. My kids youth had gone swimming and were in the pool to my left. Then I saw to my right an office area, and a younger lady with long blonde hair was standing, facing me, on the other side of the counter. She looked like a very nice person and was happy. I had asked where the youth group was and the feeling I had was that I felt welcome to join them in the pool, but I didn’t because I didn’t have my bathing suit with me, so we walked away. I’m not sure what the Lord is showing me here -pondering. This was two nights ago.. I like this photo of the sunflower field because to me it represents coming into line where God wants me to be. Blessings…
