illuminating dreams
here's a short, yet enlighting story.
i went to the blessed sacrament this morning. usually when i go i don't read the bible, for no rhyme or reason, though i always see it sitting there. anyways, today i felt inclined to read it. but before i took it out, i wondered what passage to read. eventually i figured i should just open it randomly in hopes to find inspirational words applying to the moment. so i did. of course it opened to psalms. and right when i read the word psalms a dream was triggered. a dream that i had last night.
from what i can remember of the dream, frances and i were looking through papers and fell upon a quote we both liked. i don't remember what the quote was, but i recall scrolling down to the end of the quote in hopes to find out who said it. all i saw was -psalms 14...blur. by blur i mean i didn't remember the last number, it was fuzzy.
so i decided to flip to the 140's in search of this quote. but before i did, i tried to remember that third number and then i turned to psalm 146. i don't really know why, i just did. the psalm was pretty much about trusting in God's abundance. i found the passage, and the way i came upon it comforting.
later when i was telling frances this story, i said 143 instead of 146. i was convinced it was 143, but when i read 143 i knew it wasn't the one. yet oddly enough, psalm 143 was about deliverance and guidance.
in a time of doubt and confusion, it's beautiful to be reminded that everything will be okay.
He is guiding me and i need to trust in that and in Him.
