Life along The Way with the V's

Dreams

I had a very significant dream last night that I had to share with you. I woke up around 2:30 and couldn't get back to sleep. So I prayed and asked God if there was anything HE wanted to say to me. I didn't get anything so I prayed for some things and of course prayed for the situation with C. Then I was able to sleep again. I dreamt of being at this beach. Many things were happening however the significant part was this. I turned around and seen these 13 men. They didn't fit in but were trying to blend and not make a commotion. They were wrapped in these towels. I was looking at them and realized that it was Jesus and the disciples. R was trying to get me to go from that place to another but I insisted that I needed to stay there, I wasn't allowed to tell people that Jesus was there. While I was looking at Him He turned and looked at me and smiled. Then He opened His towel up that was kinda wrapped about Him like a robe of sorts and it was the most luxurious robe of Kingly kind, very heavy and amazing and He wrapped it around C who was sitting on the ground and she disappeared inside His robe. I instantly knew that although I didn't know what happened to her at that moment she was okay and that Jesus had her wrapped inside His amazing robe. Thinking of it makes me cry. I am so thankful. I *know* she will be okay and that He is working on her behalf. I have hope now that I didn't have before now. God is good!

BLESSED!!

I was blessed so abundantly on Mother's Day!  My wonderful R bought me a whole new living room furniture.  We haven't bought new in years and have been thinking about it but just never seemed to do it until now.  He went and picked it all out and I LOVE it!  I am so thankful, our living room is pretty now and the colours I love.  And we actualy have enough furniture now to seat most, and company...what a nice treat.  When I tried to make him take it back he said listen, you are the mother of many children, children you have given me, you deserve it!  He made me dinner last night which was very nice.

I spoke at church yesterday.  It was not so easy as I wasn't feeling the greatest and felt a little faint when I got up to the pulpit, so that combined with nervousness was not a good combination.  It went ok however.  It was actually better having R there (I thought I would be more nervous with him there for some reason?) It was good to be able to look at his face and get a smile and a nod.

I feel very blessed.  God has been so good to us.  I am so thankful for what God is doing in our lives and where He is leading us, although at times it seems a little daunting.  I know His ways are not my ways and they are always best.

Blessings all!  Happy Belated Mother's day to all mothers! 

Ready for the New Year!!

Don't ask me why, however I got a "great" idea to clean the carpets yesterday.  Which ended up turning into a Spring cleaning session.  I guess my crazy wired brain makes me do silly things from time to time, like clean my carpets in the middle of Christmas rush!  Ah well.  It had to be done.  I can start the new year on a fresh note, or at least a fresh carpet...LOL!  I am reminded now that I am washing my carpets that this is what God does for me, gives me a fresh start and gives me a good cleaning when I need it.  Thank you Jesus!

My hubby is the greatest, he came in knowing that I had been working hard all day, took E and made me a irish cream hot chocolate.  What a nice guy I married!

Now to finish the mess I started...

Blessings~~~

My Father

Deuteronomy 1:30 The LORD your God, who goes before you, He will fight for you, according to all He did for you in Egypt before your eyes, 31 and in the wilderness where you saw how the LORD your God carried you, as a man carries his son, in all the way that you went until you came to this place.

I am overwhelmed this morning that the creator of the universe would carry me as HIS child.  How humbling.  God is SO good!

One more thing, today 15 years ago my life changed for the better forever...R asked me to marry him...What a blessing!  I would do it all over again, he is my match in everyway!  Happy Anniversary sweetheart!  I love you my love!

Blessings~~~

Blessings in unexpected places...

We have started attending a new church.  It is such a wonderful blessing to me.  LAst week after the service I was chatting with a few of the women.  One is a seamstress.  I have been saying to R how much I love the african dresses the women wear.  So as we were speaking one of the women stated that she felt that I needed a dress.  She said that she would like to make me a dress.  I am so excited.  She came with tape measure in hand this morning to measure me.  I am feeling so blessed.  So I believe next week I will be getting a new beautiful african dress to wear to church.  I can't wait!!

Blessings~~~

I'll post pictures of my new dress when I get it.  :)
