Ok, I am going to kind of do this backward, especially since I was pretty much just too lazy/tired to write last night. I am sorry, God.
Last night I had a dream about people I know but have never really dreamt about before. They attend my church, but I don't really socialize with them outside of church. Anyway, the dream was weird and I didn't really understand all of it when I woke up. So when I got to Donna's this morning and shared the dream with her she suggested that I ask the Lord what it meant. So I did.
Do you know what He said??? He told me that He was trying to get me to pray for them when they came up the afternoon before while I was at lunch with a friend. He let me know in His not-so-subtle way that I wasn't listening to what He was saying that day at all. So He used a weird dream to get my attention.
Now I know this may sound weird, but I have been a dreamer all of my life... and it seems to be a pattern that when I am not listening while I am awake, He will talk to me in my sleep, trying to get through my thick wall of busy-ness. Sometimes I find that I am not talking to Him so much to find out what He wants and what He is doing but rather telling Him what I want and what I am doing. Maybe that is why I haven't been listening.
Lord, help me to be a better listener.
