“Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” -Philippians 4:4-7
Conversation
Papa, thank-You for Your love and grace. My heart is filled with Your peace.
I love you My darling.
I love You too Papa. Please help me to see. Open my eyes of understanding so that I don’t miss where You are walking. Help me to always be spiritually alert so I can follow You more closely.
Rest My daughter. I will help you and lead you in the way you should go. You are Mine, always.
I’m resting Papa; I know Your peace in my heart so much more than before. Thank-You for Your gentle way with me. I trust You, I love You, and I’m following You forever. (Your love oh Lord, reaches to the heavens, Your faithfulness, reaches to the sky. Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, Your justice flows like the ocean’s tide. I will lift my voice to worship You, my King. I will find my strength in the shadow of Your wings. -Third Day)
Reflection
Hello and 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. For the past while God has been taking me through a spiritual shower. I believe He’s preparing me for what’s coming up next. He’s purifying my heart so that my heart is clean before Him. It also clears the way for me to hear Holy Spirit better when there’s no mess in the way. I record the times when God says something to me because even in that, there’s meaning. Blessings.
April 23: 11: In this dream someone lifted up the back of their shirt and I saw long red marks all over their back like they had been whipped. But these markings looked like they were healed. Then I had slipped on the ground and my legs were underneath a kitchen chair, and I was laying on the ground on my tummy beside Lucas (who was already there) who’s legs were also underneath the same chair. I had a skirt on, sensing it was my black and white skirt. I sensed him asking me why I was there and I was telling him that I had slipped, and then I was starting to pick myself up from the floor. I think this represents that the wounds I have been carrying are all healed now.
2:02 “I believe, finally!” (I heard these words very clearly in my heart right before waking up)
2:28 “I believe I saw the colour yellow.” or “I think I saw the colour yellow.”
In this part of the dream there were three of us on a wide board that was on a motorbike in a big city. The person who was driving was a guy with Down syndrome. We were in a big city and I think it was dark outside. Then he turned in an alleyway and it was dark but light enough to see. I was afraid and aware of the danger I was in and wanted to go home. Then we were standing with our backs to the wall of a building and I saw to my right a big steal garbage bin, and I saw two men lift the lid and start to come out of it. Then they were standing in front of us, beginning to threaten us and I felt completely vulnerable. I immediately began praying out loud that God would come and overwhelm these men and change their heart. Then I saw that God had come/the Holy Spirit had come and was overwhelming them with His presence, and the three of us quickly ran out of the alleyway and onto the streets where it was safer. I saw the street in front of us maybe a block away when we first started running out of the alleyway. In our haste we left the board there I think. I was wondering if the motorbike would be quicker but that’s all about that that I dreamt about. We were on our way home. This could represent missions in the north end.
Then in this scene I wanted to go home but didn’t know where I was or how to get home (we were still in the city). I was with a small group of people and I had a square box in my hand that could help me get home that had a bunch of numbers on it to press, and looked like a wooden calculator. I was trying to figure out how it worked and then I saw on the top a small part where I needed to put the numbers of our address. I couldn’t remember what JPUSA’s address was and saw 176 there, and the numbers were white; I wanted to put JPUSA’s address there. There was a young girl beside me who wanted me to play a trick on the two men who were in the front seat (having a casual conversation) of this small “train” by putting in a random address, but I didn’t listen to her because I wanted to go home and I was trying to get it correct. JPUSA is an inner city outreach community, and I’m thinking that this represents the Lord is leading me to do the missions weekend at the North End Campus.
Then the scene changed where we were still in this small train that reminds me of a roller-coaster. We were really high up and I saw there was snow around us. Then we were coming towards an area where it was a bit more dangerous because there wouldn’t be ground beside us, just air, and I saw the ground way down below so we were adjusting where we were sitting to make sure we were securely (in line) on the “train.” I saw a lady kind of behind me that wasn’t sitting directly in line yet so I got the person sitting in front of me to move forward and I got the lady sitting in line, on time. Then the scene changed again and I saw us going down the high hill facing backwards. I saw the whole train of about 20 small carts where people were sitting in, all facing backwards, and the train was going down the hill slowly, it wasn’t a rush.
There was a scene where I was in a house and people were sleeping. It was night and I wanted to go home. I was walking beside one or two people who were sleeping what could have been the floor, and I saw one person to my right who had his blanket covering his whole body, from head to toe so I couldn’t see who it was. I thought it must be someone I knew from JPUSA.
Then there was a scene where there was a room that had many round clothing racks and they were full of clothing. I had clothing in several of these. Then I went there and found that I couldn’t find some of my clothes, and I went and asked the lady who was in charge of that, and she had taken them somewhere. So I was a bit frustrated that they were missing. This reminds me of the MCC here in town. Monday I did 125lb deadlifts (90lbs on a 35lb bar). My back hurt the whole day afterwards and today it feels a lot better. I went running today, 22 laps!! I’m going to Soar in the morning tomorrow and voice lessons in the afternoon; feeling like I could actually sing again in church on Sunday. I love singing and need to sing more. My voice isn’t like it used to be. We’re home this evening and didn’t go to the city. We’re watching the third How to Train Your Dragon movie tonight. Blessings…
April 24: 2:41 “Lift me up, hold me down, keep me close, safe and sound…” Song, Lift Me Up, by Rihanna. I heard these lyrics singing in my heart as I woke up. I’m hoping about seeing Jesus’ hand/holding hands… Yesterday we were listening to it as a family.
4:2 Last night I was really wrestling about going to Shopgym or not. Knowing we were going to do overhead squats I really didn’t want to go. When I woke up after four, 4:twenty something, I had dreamt that I saw the bridge that’s also a dam thats close to hwy 200 just outside of the city; the bridge had yellow tape (rcmp crime tape) going across it so that cars couldn’t drive on it. To me it meant that something negative was going to happen if I didn’t go to Shopgym.
5:32 “My husband is doing something.” Dream about having parked on the south parking lot but my husband/hubby is doing something in the west parking lot. Feeling like if I don’t go, how will I see it? Jesus my husband is doing something, and if I don’t keep being obedient, then how will I see what he’s doing? I’m so glad to say that I went, and my weights were light and my back feels great! I felt stronger afterwards, Praise God!❤️🔥
