The Journey Home

A Dream

Some months ago I had a very unusual and powerful dream.  Actually, I thought of writing about it then, but was hesitant to speak of it to a broader audience (my blog readers of two or three ;-)  But, I decided that now would be a good time to finally reveal it, thinking that after the birth, I might not find it pertinent.

When I was about three months along in this pregnancy, I had a dream, which actually caused me to wake up, and sit up.  There is a radio station that I listen to while driving in the car, and around noon, the host is a child psychologist.  He is a Christian, and has a huge family, and a sense of humor too.  Well, the format of the show is that callers are to call in to the show, and he answers their questions.  However, in my dream he called me!  His head and shoulders and the telephone receiver appeared like a hologram just to my right.  In my dream I said “hello” and, immediately realizing who was on the other end, I was perplexed.  I said, “Did I call …you?”  And he said, “No, I’m calling you because your baby called out to me and said that he’s going to be just fine, and he wanted me to tell you.”  After that point I was wide-awake, and sitting up.  I went over the dialog in my head, several times, just to make sure that I wouldn’t forget it. 

I felt that this dream was such a gift.  I also felt that obviously the dream was about the baby I was now carrying, not about Gregory who we lost.  After all, I know where Gregory is.  And, then, I wondered, is this a dream telling me the sex of the baby I was carrying, too??  We shall soon see.

People have asked me...well actually, many people have asked me whether we know the sex of the baby yet.  I've told them that we've always wanted to be surprised.  One gal said, "Oh my gosh!  I can't believe you're not dying to know!"   Believe me, I am dying to know.  (But I still didn't ask to be told the sex of the baby, though I will admit I have been tempted.)

What a great dream. Was it a comfort to you through the pregnancy? I would imagine it is.

I wonder nearly everyday what God has in store for our family. Is our family complete or will I have the privilege of carrying another child? That is one of those things I'll never know, until I know.

Jan. 31, 2007 - Your dream

Posted by BarbaraFrank


I'm so glad you stopped by my blog. I didn't realize you were due this soon (where does the time go?)

Your dream really was a gift! I received a gift in my last pregnancy. I didn't have a dream, but somehow God gave me the sense that if I had a Down syndrome baby, it would all be ok (I refused all testing, so it's not like Ds had been suggested or anything). He even planted a woman with a Ds toddler in the OB/GYN waiting room one week---she was adorable! I was led to pray throughout the pregnancy that if the baby had Ds, God would help us through it. So deep down I guess I wasn't that surprised when we learned, a day after his birth, that Josh had Ds. Fast-forward to 2007---he will be 14 in March, and he has been a delight to the whole family.

I think you've been told that this baby is going to be just fine.....I look forward to the good news soon, and hope that your back pain lets up!

Keeping you in prayer,
Barb

What a blessing to receive such a powerful message! Sometimes as I try to analyse things like this -- what does it mean? what is the significance? does this mean ...? I remember the Lord has one purpose in it all -- to bring us closer to Him. I know He has a perfect plan for all of you -- and I'm excited to hear about this new little person who is joining you in the journey! Much love dear lady!

I am praying for you too. And I am glad you are finding comfort. This is such an anxious time. But God is good and everything ultimately works out for our benefit!



Have a blessed birth!
