People Get Ready - Dream

Quite Disturbing  

If I do say so myself.

I had this dream 3 nights ago.
I haven't wanted to share this dream - but I can't get it off my heart and mind.
I wake up every morning with it on my mind, as if I had just dreampt it all over again.
Even with everything else I have on my plate at the moment in life....I can not keep from seeing this dream run over and over in my minds eye - it was so very vivid.

The dream was short. Oh so vivid.

I was on one of many buses headed in the same direction. There were two lanes on the roadway, however at this time they were both being used to bus people to a common area. So both lanes were going in the same direction. The bus I was on, as well as al the other buses were packed full.

It was hot. Very, very hot. The buses came to a sudden halt. Everyone starting piling out of the buses and like a moth to light they all headed in the same direction.

At first I no idea where they were going.

(I was invisible to everyone around me during this dream. No one could hear or see me.)

I looked around at everyone - at the surroundings. I started walking along with them.
Then I saw the ocean.
Everyone was headed towards the beach. The sandy beach.
I could hear people moaning. I could hear others complaining about the how hot it was.

I felt so bad for them. I could see how tired and hot they were. I looked around and saw some very large oak trees and tried to get peoples attention,
"Hey!" I shouted "Look you come get cooled off under the shade of the big oak trees!"

As I motioned for the people to come to the shade I notice that all of the trees leaves were dried up and dead. 

I got so upset. I began to run from tree to tree and as I did - I saw something even more alarming.

From a few of the trees I saw what appeared to be BATS hanging (as bats do) from the branches.
It was broad day light and bats were out in the open....I couldn't believe it!.....I approached the bats to shu them off the tree...and when I got to the first one, IT FELL TO THE GROUND. I heard a voice behind me say, "They are all dead."

(I felt so helpless at this point. My heart was so heavy. I began to weep.)

I stood and watched hundreds of people....men, woman and children....standing at the oceans edge waiting....looking... so desperate.....and it just kept getting hotter and hotter.

I can't live without it - How can YOU?

Psalm 71

 In You, O Lord, do I put my trust and confidently take refuge; let me never be put to shame or confusion!

 Deliver me in Your righteousness and cause me to escape; bow down Your ear to me and save me!

 Be to me a rock of refuge in which to dwell, and a sheltering stronghold to which I may continually resort, which You have appointed to save me, for You are my Rock and my Fortress.

 Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the grasp of the unrighteous and ruthless man.

 For You are my hope; O Lord God, You are my trust from my youth and the source of my confidence.

 Upon You have I leaned and relied from birth; You are He Who took me from my mother’s womb and You have been my benefactor from that day. My praise is continually of You.

 I am as a wonder and surprise to many, but You are my strong refuge.

 My mouth shall be filled with Your praise and with Your honor all the day.

 Cast me not off nor send me away in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength is spentand my powers fail.

 For my enemies talk against me; those who watch for my life consult together,

 Saying, God has forsaken him; pursue and persecute and take him, for there is none to deliver him.

 O God, be not far from me! O my God, make haste to help me!

 Let them be put to shame and consumed who are adversaries to my life; let them be covered with reproach, scorn, and dishonor who seek and require my hurt.

 But I will hope continually, and will praise You yet more and more.

 My mouth shall tell of Your righteous acts and of Your deeds of salvation all the day, for their number is more than I know.

 I will come in the strength and with the mighty acts of the Lord God; I will mention and praise Your righteousness, even Yours alone.

 O God, You have taught me from my youth, and hitherto have I declared Your wondrous works.

 Yes, even when I am old and gray-headed, O God, forsake me not, [but keep me alive] until I have declared Your mighty strength to [this] generation, and Your might and power to all that are to come.

 Your righteousness also, O God, is very high [reaching to the heavens], You Who have done great things; O God, who is like You, or who is Your equal?

You Who have shown us [all] troubles great and sore will quicken us again and will bring us up again from the depths of the earth.

 Increase my greatness (my honor) and turn and comfort me.

 I will also praise You with the harp, even Your truth and faithfulness, O my God; unto You will I sing praises with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel.

 My lips shall shout for joy when I sing praises to You, and my inner being, which You have redeemed.

 My tongue also shall talk of Your righteousness all the day long; for they are put to shame, for they are confounded, who seek and demand my hurt.

This is truly the single most important thing in my life.

The Word of God.

My life - line.

Who knew? no regrets...

Certainly not I.

Did you?


I mean seriously - if I had known - I would have done things a whole lot differently. Well at least I think I would have - I mean - without actually knowing how things would have been, had they been different than they actually are, it's kinda hard to say, truthfully, what I would do [just being honest here]  But knowing myself as well as I do [which I am finding out as each day passes, isn't as well as I thought] I am pretty darn sure, I would have done allot of things differently, had I been given the opportunity.


So, how about you?






I know, I know. We can't change anything now. It does us no good to dwell on the past.
That is not my intention by any means.
However, sometimes it is good to glance back and remember from whence we have come from.
Where the Lord has delivered us.


It can help us in our current situation. 
Where we are in life - in our walk with God - Remind us of God's faithfulness, of His love, His grace, His compassion, His peace, in a very personal way.


It's easy to forget.
Life has a way of stealing all of God's precious gifts  away - if we let it - if we're not oh so careful.
Life's busy schedules, relationship issues, troublesome financial situations, every day burdens can creep in unawares and before we know it, the gift of waking up every morning, is transformed into a burdensome involuntary ritual. Lacking peace and leaving us wanting.  

The Cost of Being a Disciple

 A large crowd was following Jesus. He turned around and said to them,  “If you want to be my disciple, you must hate everyone else by comparison—your father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even your own life. Otherwise, you cannot be my disciple.  And if you do not carry your own cross and follow me, you cannot be my disciple.

 “But don’t begin until you count the cost. For who would begin construction of a building without first calculating the cost to see if there is enough money to finish it? ²⁹ Otherwise, you might complete only the foundation before running out of money, and then everyone would laugh at you. They would say, ‘There’s the person who started that building and couldn’t afford to finish it!’

 “Or what king would go to war against another king without first sitting down with his counselors to discuss whether his army of 10,000 could defeat the 20,000 soldiers marching against him?  And if he can’t, he will send a delegation to discuss terms of peace while the enemy is still far away. So you cannot become my disciple without giving up everything you own.

Luke 14:25-33

No regrets

No regrets

I have followed you

No regrets I have counted the cost

No regrets

You are all and everything I desire - You are all - you are all there is for me

Come Holy Spirit - Come - Holy Spirit - Come Holy Spirit

Fill Me - Fill Me 

Come Holy Spirit - Come - Holy Spirit - Come Holy Spirit

Fill Me - Fill Me

I have no regrets - I have left it all behind

No regrets - I have left it ALL

And you - I want you - only you - nothing more

YOU - I want YOU - Nothing more than you - Jesus

Jesus - show me you - I want you

You are so beautiful- YOU are so wonderful

Jesus my heart beats for you alone

You are so wonderful Jesus

You are all I long for 

You are so beautiful my Lord

You are so beautiful

You are so beautiful 

You are so beautiful

To me

I have left it all for you

and  

I have no regrets

Gutt feelings

Sometimes we just have to go with them.  It could mean the difference between life or death in some instances.
Why is it though, that we hesitate so much of the time to act upon our "gutt feeling" ? Or sometimes known as our 'intuition"....or I have even used the term, (affectionatly) "the little birdie"....or "small voice" in my head.
What ever or however we describe it IT IS something we all have built-in and I believe built-in as a  SAFE GAURD, by none other than our creator Himself....TO HELP US OUT along lifes journey.
So again, I pose the question,  "Why do we NOT listen to our gutt feelings, small still voice, little birdie or intuition like we should?"

What'cha looking at ME for?

I am actualy asking the question for real.
