a few bad dreams

There will be many firsts on this journey for our family. A couple of fun ones so far have been hearing our kids share a testimony, eating every meal with 100 other people, sharing a common living area with three other families and having a playground right outside our home where the kids can always see who is out there. Another first has been consistent bad dreams for one of our kids. It has been very profitable working through why they may be happening. They are very real, and bring some intense emotions. At the same time, they are quickly forgotten, until something in the dream seems to come to life.

I am not sure where you are on in your journey, but right now, my learning curve is pretty steep. I am consistently being reminded that not even a dream comes to our door without having gone through the hands of God. We are learning to live in constant fellowship with the body of Christ and while it is exhilarating, it is also exhausting and it is incredible.
It is less then 2 months until we will land in our new country. The language is completely foreign, the people are complicating, according to our reading, and most of all, they are lost. Their religion will not allow them to know the True God.

Thank you for reading this and lifting us up to the only one who can heal, take away bad dreams and give us the boldness to give our lives away, daily.

    "and give us the boldness to give our lives away, daily." this took my breath away...thank you for the reminder of what He calls all of us to do every single day. no matter where we live.
