Happy 40th!!!

My husband just turned 40.  We had the VERY BEST time on May 22nd!!  Our kids threw him a surprise birthday party.  It was a blast.  We had some very close friends there.  We were able to "let our hair down" and laugh, dance, and just act crazy.  It was all in good fun.  I thank the Lord for people that I can be REAL with.  There is no worrying about being judged, etc.  It is all about the LOVE!  I hope that you have someone that you can be free around.  Freedom is wonderful.  


TO THE LOVE OF MY LIFE!!!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

What's New World?

Hello out there!  LOL!  What is new?  Nothing much on this end.  I am thankful to God that although the storm is still brewing, He is keeping me in a place of peace and safety.

Life is funny.  One day things could be going great and the next all hell breaks loose.  It is for this very reason that I try to keep myself hidden in Christ.  There is nothing certain on this earth, nothing at all.

I don't know where you are today but I sure hope it is in the arms of Jesus.  There is no safer place to be!

"For thou O Lord are a Shield for me, the Glory and Lifter Up of my face."
amen

Dream

You know, the other night I had a dream.  I want to share it because of the profoundness of it all.  Ever have a dream that feels "really real"?  I sure did.  I went to bed around one am and by 1:40 a.m. I was awake again, from the dream.

I dreamed that I was in a hospital room and the monitors flat-lined, in other words, I died.  I heard everything as clear as day.  My body immediately (and I mean in an INSTANT) was suspended out of my real body.  I felt like I was floating.  Here is the best part of this dream---it wasn't the floating part---it is what surrounded me.  Total, inexplicable, undeniable, immeasurable love and peace.  Have you ever had a warm, sunny day at the beach?  The waves are crashing against the shore and the sun is bathing your body?  Well, even that cannot compare to the peace I felt.  I have no words in the English language to describe this.

I heard a voice say, "You're not done yet.  You have to go back down there."  And I was saying (although not audibly, only in my mind) "Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!"  In an instant I began traveling downward and was dropped back into my body.  I could still hear the monitors giving off that flatlined beep.  But this time, my eyes opened, and the doctor (or nurse or whoever she was) looked me straight in the eye and said, "We are not going to lose you."

In a millisecond, she cut open my main artery by my arm (not sure what that is or why) and then she cut into my back (I have a kidney stone there).  I was yelling because she did this without anesthesia.  And this is what woke me up.

All I can say is that I know dreams are very symbolic.  Although I don't know the significance of it all, I am grateful to God for the visitation.

Pay attention to your dreams.  The Word of God states in Genesis that God speaks to us through them.

Love ya,

Anna
