My dream on Saturday Night...
On Saturday night I had a dream, my dream was very vivd... and the following day I associated it with somethings I had seen and didn't dwell on it further. Here is the dream: I was standing on the eastside wall of a large covered balcony on a multi-level home that appeared to be built out of stone, it seems that I was in conversation with someone not clearly defined when I looked over to the appeared the northeast corner of the horizon and saw very dark clouds stretching over a few miles, the center was the darkest and formed a column from the top to the bottom, a dark wall. Because it was far off I continued the conversation with the undetermined person, the nature of the conversation was not clear in the dream. When looking out toward where the bad weather was, it had moved so quickly that it was upon us, I recall running towards a door that was locked, I had a key in my hands that I went to use to open the door, but as the wind was picking up, it was as though something had very quickly thrown me to the ground, flat on my left side, at that very moment of being conscious of laying on the floor the strength of the wind increased where I could feel the rush of air flow over my right shoulder and arm, I woke up and knew that the stone wall of the balcony had provided protection but directing the flow of air over me as I laid on the floor. The following day Sunday, I was visiting a Sunday service and while I was there I had concerns over certain emphasis made and details expressed during the service. I remembered the dream and it's significance of an approaching storm... trusting in God allows one to share in the events that have been written about, as I look back within the past week or so as I write this I recall seeing certain things that piece together what resulted in the dream... where some may regard it as an unconscious reenactment, prior to my walk I worked in the field of social services in different capacities and am very aware of the theories, knowing what the Lord has shown me there are no coincidences. While I wasn't lead to immediately post this dream, I did recognize the importance of reading the Blessing, posted in the previous journal entry, over all the children that were present at the Sunday service... and then to post it as I did for many of you to use it with your children and families. The Lord has provided me during most instances at this point with a sense of Peace, when it is challenged it is overcome within a short period of time. I find that I am being lead to encourage others to pray for one another, to seek God no matter where you are at, asking for His Love to prevail. By writting this I ask that you do so daily as well, pray not only for those you love but for those whom you disagree with, that God may lead as many towards the Good Plans He has prepared. For those of you familiar with the parable of the Bridesmaids and the oil lamps, you know the association it represents. I looked at one of my very first posts on this site and posting the link to it, http://dailystrength.org/people/5023/journal/26741 , it is about hope. God bless you all!

All I can say is WOW...I got goose bumps reading your dream. How lucky we are to stand in the shadow of God\'s protection. I am not a big journal writer unless I am moved to do so and right before I read your journal... I have been led to post a journal on \"Faith.\" You know the holidays are coming up which might be a \"recipe for depression\"
Please keep me posted on the \"Dream\" front as most of my information I receive is either in a dream or after I have quieted my mind and sit in God\'s silence for awhile. Blessings back at you ...L
The Mighty One, God the Lord speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting. Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines forth. Our god comes; he does not keep silence, before Him is a devouring fire, around Him a mighty tempest. He calls to the heavens above and to the earth, that he may judge His people; Gather to me my faithful ones, who made a covenant with me by sacrifice! The heavens declare His righteousness, for God himself is judge! Psalm 50:1-6 Amen
That\'s definately a ...Wow... dream. God is so awesome and so good to us. Have you ever watched an ant??? Sometimes I think that must be about what it\'s like...I am so \"nothing\" but I am special because I am a daughter of the King and He is our protector from all the \"shoes\" of this world.
Psalm 91
1HE WHO dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand]. God bless you Joe! Winds of change are coming but you are sheltered by the Almighty!
