I have been struggling with a few things lately. Some that I have shared here, some that I am not yet ready to share. Last night I had a dream that my church was sorting through donations for those less fortunate and I was helping out. There was a massive stack of canopies that were to be used for backyard barbecues and such. For some reason we were taking them out of the bag that they come in. I was helping someone else out and she was struggling, suddenly we were both falling backwards and just kept falling. I find this extremely ironic because I cannot even begin to count the number of times I have set up and torn down 'backyard canopies' by my self or with someone else. It is my job to do this. As we started to fall, the other members of the church saw us and started towards us, but we never actually fell.
Now usually, when I have a 'falling' dream, I wake with a start because you are frightened beyond all belief. But I didn't. Yes, I woke up, but it was a gentle waking with peace.
With everything I've been praying about lately, asking for guidance... I believe that this dream was his way of saying, yes, you are falling, but I'll catch you. You won't fall.
I'm still worried. I'm human. But I'm continuing to hold on to that peace, that feeling of not being afraid.
Find a moment today. Ask for peace. For trust. To not be afraid.
