Nancy's Dream

Hey everyone - Nancy shared a dream she had last night. I asked her to write it out so I could share it with you. Here goes (you might want to grab a box of tissues):

Monday night I spent the night at the hospital with Garren. During the night I had a dream.

I dreamed Garren and I were sitting at our kitchen table at home. He was telling me about a dream he had. He said he was walking down a country road on a sunny day. On the side of the road he saw a lit lantern. He thought it was a very strange place for a lantern especially since it was lit. He walked over and picked it up. He said when he picked up the lantern everything went dark. He said, "Mom, it was really strange that everything was dark but it was so cool I had that lantern to light my way. I could keep walking. I couldn't see very far out but it was enough to light my baby steps."

I'm not really a dream person but that night I woke up and felt a new peace that God was leading Garren's baby steps in a special way.

"For you are my lamp, O Lord,
and my God lightens my darkness."
- 2 Samuel 22:29

"Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light to my path."
- Psalm 119:105

Some days I get frustrated and want so badly to see big steps that I lose sight and miss the joy of the baby steps. God is lighting this path and we trust him fully to lead where he wants us to go.

Thank you so much for faithfully praying with us and for us and for rejoicing with us in Garren's baby steps.

Thank you too for all your texts, emails and blog comments. These seem to come at just the right time when we need a lift and a reminder of God's love and guidance. If you have sent a personal text or email and you haven't gotten a response, please know it is appreciated. We are trying to reply to these as we have time.

- Nancy
