i have not had a dream, that i remembered (!) in a long time. last night i did. it was so vivid i had to share...and it's even cooler that god showed me what it meant. and no, it was not for me...

i saw a huge field of mud then a second later i saw a dried up old dirt road. you know the kind, after a big old storm with lots of rain makes the dirt all muddy, then ppl walk and drive in it, leaving tracks, bumps and such

well in the dream i saw a dear friend walking along the dirt road, stepping over the dried up dirt...the mud was gone...just dirt

then i saw ppl walking in mud. you know when you walk in mud it's hard work, it does not flow, it's hard to walk in it, you drag your feet, it's so tiring and seems pointless and it's just plain gross...

then the picture flashed to my friend. she was walking on the now dried soil

after i asked god to show me what it meant i got this

"walking in mud is never enjoyable, it's hard work, it's not quick, it's messy. staying there, not quitting, not giving up. walking. staying. the storm is over. the mud is now dirt, see those bumps that you are walking over, that's the problems, the situations and general life. it's under your feet, it's dried up. it will not stop you from going forward. they serve as a reminder of what is now, under your feet. you are no longer walking in mud. your path is dry...walk....enjoy...."

then i saw this huge, green meadow, filled with flowers and there was my friend. walking in livid color

so, dear friend. you know who you are. your storm is over. enjoy your future. i celebrate with you!

those who sew in tears WILL reap in joy!
