DREAMS

I personally LOVE to dream. 

Last night I had several and remember three upon waking. Well only parts of the dreams.

The first one I was in a big convention center and I was babysitting for a 5 month old (have no idea whose child).  I looked  through a window into another lecture room, and I saw my Uncle Dellis, Aunt Melva and Aunt Eleanor.  I decided I would go around to their room and show them the baby and say HELLO. In the process of heading to their room, through all the crowd of people I was apparently injected with some sedative medicine from behind, and the baby was stolen!  It was chaos trying to explain to the security guards it was not my child, but I was babysitting.....etc....It had some emotions in the dream for sure.

The Second was:  My phone gave off an alarm during the dark of night, with lights and voice:  "A dangerous criminal is loose and expected to be in your area.  Please lock all doors and stay inside".  Just as I was about to wake Ken up and tell him, a motorcycle with rider came down our driveway (We have a gate that he would have had to open).  It was one of those zzziiing - zzziiing sounding bikes, it was blue and white. Definitely not a Honda or Harley.  He went to the end and turned around, parked in our driveway an got off his bike.  THAT is when I called 911 giving them our address, etc  and tried to wake up Ken.   That is all I remember on that one.

Oh dear, I had the third dream, but now it escapes me. SMILE.   That is what happens with dreams you have at night.  They come and they go.  Many people say they  remember no dreams that they have.   If I remember a dream upon waking, I go over it in my head before I move to get up. I enjoy dreaming. But they leave my memory  within a few hours. They are always messed up from reality.  I never recognize the building or house I am in, every dream is an adventure...so to speak.

BUT the dreams I have in the Daytime, are under my control. 

 Do I plan my day with all kinds of goodies myself? 

 Or do I give God an empty slate and ask HIM to fill my day with HIS dreams and plans for me?  I think we do alittle of both.  I ask God to delete or adjust my day as HE wills, for I truly want HIS guidance in my day.

I am so thankful that GOD watches over me Day and Night.  I love how HE is never far away, just like my mind is never shut off.  He keeps me running according to HIS plan, as I yield myself to Him.

Day or Night, I trust my Lord Jesus Christ. 

I am His, and He is Mine.

GOD, our Protector

My husband and I
have been in full time ministry

for some time. 
 

 Each day is something new and challenging.  My husband just left to pick up our newly welcomed  Assistant Pastor.  They are  going on a challenge together today.  I am on prayer cover duty at home.

 

 
Yesterday,

about half hour before Sunday school started,

 a very scruffy man walked in. 

 

 

 The leadership team meets early for sound checks, rehearsals, prayer, etc.  He came in and sat on the back pew.  I introduced myself to him and he said, "I need to talk to the Pastor". 

  My hubby was on the organ so he came down to talk to him.  He said he has surgery tomorrow at our local hospital and needs gas money in order to get there.  (Keep in mind he drove to our church today to ask money, which was taking some of his gas.)  We were not born yesterday, and NEVER give out cash money.  Pastor asked a few questions and learned that he would be staying overnight in the hospital.  Hubby said that he should not be driving himself anyway, that we would pick him up in the morning and see that he gets to the hospital safely.  The man gave Pastor an address. 

 I asked the scruffy looking man if he could stay for Sunday school and Church today.  He said he would, but he had a car load of people outside waiting on him. 

I told him he might want to put up his zipper before he goes back into public.
 (Only Pastor's wives, get those kind of jobs). 

He headed out the door, indeed it was a decent car he was driving and several other men inside.  Of course we do not know his real story, what they were really up to,  but we thank God that we were kept safe.

RIGHT NOW,

Pastor has gone to pick up the Assistant Pastor,

and they will be men of their word. 

 They will go to the address and see what transpires.

 

 

Lord, YOU are our protector.  Thank you Lord.  Do a mighty work in this man and all the men in the car who were up to something. 

My husband reported that the address was a vacant lot.  So whatever that man came in for, he probably did not get.....but he (and his buddies) have been prayed for. We showed him love and respect. Stop and pray that this man, and his buddies, will find JESUS, the ONLY ONE who can truly give them what they need.
