I
dream often in my sleep, sometimes I remember a lot of details other times it is all vague. Last night I had the type that I remembered. It seemed to be a bit on the crazy end of things and so I dismissed it from my mind when I got out of bed. But when I started getting dressed for the day about an hour later, bits and pieces started floating through my head and I just felt a sense that God had a message for me in it.
The dream started with Brad and I planning a 20th anniversary party, (which is still over a year away) and it was planned down at some church in Kokomo. Why there??? The day of the party Brad asks me to go motorcycle riding with him. OK, this is where the craziness begins, I DON’T RIDE MOTORCYCLES! I am afraid of them, my best idea would be to never get on one of them. Second, Brad doesn’t own a motorcycle. Anyway, back to the dream. We head off for a ride and we are driving here and there, there was no rhyme and reason to our route. Then all of a sudden I recall what day and time it is and start going crazy about I never ordered the cake, I didn’t get any decorations together, and not even sure if I planned the food. I also realized that it was 12:30 and the party was supposed to start at 1:00 and we were nowhere near the church in Kokomo. Actually in my dream I realized I had no idea where the place even was that this party was suppose to be. I became frustrated with Brad for “making” me go on this ride with him when He knew what day it was. My mind started going to all the people who would be expecting food and a nice party since that is what I am good at putting together. In my dream I saw the first people arrive and I saw the disappointment on their faces and then the dream ended.
So what message did God have for me through this dream? It was a simple message, He simply said “Lisa you need to lay down your fears of the unknown, you need to lay down your people pleasing, rule following and perfectionist ways and you need to just ride with ME!”
So what message is God trying to deliver to you, are you willing to listen? I do, I want to learn to always say YES when God asks me to ride!
