Another Dream Fragment
We were standing, looking at some picture on our wall, and a family picture taken last summer at the lake was pointed to and we said "yeah, I remember that one. That happened soon before everything changed."

Tantalizing Dreams
All my life I have had dreams of the future- short segments that played out exactly as dreamed.
The first time I noticed them I was in 9th grade. It felt like normal DeJa Vu- but I remembered they were dreams- just snippets of everyday life. At first they freaked me out a little. The teacher that I confided these into just said that it was what I did everyday, so naturally I would dream it happening, but I knew he was wrong and that wasn't what was happening. They were very specific things happening at very specific times.
Soon I had to see if I could change what happened in the dream- and I could. I had the power to make changes when they played out in real life. And then they occurred off and on for years, often just giving me a bare hint at what was going to transpire in the near future.
In March of 2008 I dreamed that the world would suffer a financial collapse in 6 months, but strangely very little of daily life would change. I didn't even remember that when September rolled around, until in October I was reviewing my blog posting and found that written there.
Most of the time the circumstances of the dream make no sense until I have lived them. Some of them puzzle my mind waiting until the time they play out and others are largely forgotten about until it plays out and I remembered I dreamed it and then wondered about it.
One of these was when I pregnant with my 4th baby. I dreamed that I was in a hospital and they were doing to take the baby out of me surgically, but the baby was not ready- months early. In my dream I was screaming at them that they couldn't do this to me, but they were very patient and calm with me. That dream scared me. I was so adamant that no one was going to take my baby early. Then I lost the baby at 20 weeks and had to have a D&E. And it all played out the same, except I wasn't screaming at them and understood what was going on.
And few years ago, I had a snippet of a dream I know is going to take place in the future. I was riding my bike (as a primary form of transportation) and during daylight hours (or it could have been a really bright night hours) there were incredible Northern lights over the whole sky- and the northern lights were an on- going thing, and there were orbs in the sky- like planets looming close to the earth- but not scarcely so. The sky was so amazingly vivid and bright I tried for years to get a good picture of it out of my head, but my artist skills are decidedly lacking. And I paused on my bicycle for second- and that is all of my dream that I remember.
It is tantalizing to ponder when and how that dream will fulfill its self.

I wanted to go to church today
I wanted to go to church today,
but I slept in.
I wanted to stand up and bear my testimony,
but my ears did not hear the alarm.
I wanted to publicly proclaim my gratefulness for thy plan,
but my kids take and hour and a half to get in the car.
I wanted to serve somewhere and build up thy kingdom,
but my baby has negated me getting a calling.
But I did teach my kids about prayer today,
and I did visit my sisters,
and I did serve my family,
and I am raising up a posterity unto thee.
but I slept in.

The Red Sea Place
Have you come to the Red Sea place in your life
Where in spite of all you can do,
There is no way out.
There is no way back.
There is no other way but through.
Then wait on the Lord with a trust serene
'Til the night of your fear is gone;
He will send the winds,
He will heap the floods,
When He says to your soul, "Go on."
And His hand will lead you through - clear through -
Ere the watery walls roll down.
No foe can reach you,
No wave can touch,
No mightiest sea can drown.
The tossing billows may rear their crests,
Their foam at your feet may break;
But over their bed you shall walk dry shod
In the path that your Lord will make.
