God Is Near

Ephesians 3:20-21

“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.”

Reflection

Hello everyone, 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!

December 20, 2:45. I woke up and heard an instrument playing 5 notes; two higher notes and three lower notes. The two higher notes were the same notes and the three lower notes were slightly different from each other. These notes were the in-between notes that connect a verse to the chorus or from one part of a verse to another verse. I kind of recognized it but would need to hear it in a song to know which song it came from. 

Then at 5:42!, I woke up hearing these lyrics in my heart, “On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand, all other ground is sinking sand.” Then I fell back asleep and dreamt that I was in an orphanage; I was one of the workers there. I dreamt that it was night and I walked into a room and saw that a young girl was up. She was standing there looking at me, and I could clearly see that she was stressing about something and needed attention. I had a thought as I saw her that isn’t it nice that I’m right there so that I can help her right away. Then I was in deep water and I looked up and saw what I think was a pen or pencil. It was falling down and landed in the water, sinking deep below. So I dove underneath the water and began swimming down to get it (the water was clear). I saw some kind of wreckage, part of a skeleton of a ship that had sunk. So to help myself get down quicker I reached out and grabbed onto the wooden  skeleton and pulled myself deeper quicker and grabbed the pen. The pen had settled into a small crevice or between stuff, and looked more like a wooden stick slightly longer than a pen. Then the scene changed a little but I was still inside the water, and I could breathe in the water. (This tells me that in the storm I’m in right now, I’m able to breathe, to manage it.) I saw two boys in the water who couldn’t breathe, and one of them had his hands tide together with a rope (this is when I noticed that I could breathe underwater). So I quickly took the boy in my arms and swam to the surface and saw his face above the water and was gasping for breath. I think my head was still under water. The other boy had swam to the surface. During this whole dream I felt so strongly, the presence of the Lord and that Jesus was watching everything I did, and I am so comforted by that….

We have a mouse in the house:( It’s chosen to make lots of noise right by my bedroom so I needed to sleep on the floor in Bella’s room again. I was awake a lot last night again and didn’t have the energy or will to go to Shopgym. But I’m planning to go on Friday. I’m planning to begin my painting this week when I’m still by myself. Yesterday evening we watched National Geographic: Running Wild with Bear Grylls and Florence Pugh. I was amazed when I saw the part where they tied a big rock to a rope and threw it into the water below to see how deep the water was, and that’s how they knew if they could jump in or not. I saw a licence plate that said, Believe, and later on my way home from Costco I saw, Fun. My heart is shattered but God has already given me hope. I’m going to take the advice that I was given and put everything on the shelf for God’s timing. I’m going to continue writing because I sense from God to continue writing, but I’m putting what’s already in my life to the forefront of my life and dive deeper into God. What God has established, God will also give in His time, and I’m letting go of needing it to be right now. Blessings…
