Ever hear the old saying 'some days you get the bear and some days the bear gets you'? In my recent past I had experienced the part about the bear getting me (and getting me a lot!).....and I felt I was beginning to spiral down into another one of my 'famous' depressions. I didn't want to go down that deep well again, but sometimes things happen and you find yourself in the midst of darkness....
During this strange, dark time I still said my prayers and I thanked God for all that I did have as well as the lessons I was learning. I don't know if I prayed anything differently one night or maybe God had a little more time to listen to me, but I had the most wonderful dream. I dreamed that I was in a very beautiful land with palm trees and beautiful blue skies and I was walking with Jesus. Yes, you read it right.....I was walking with Jesus and I remember saying to Him it must have been awesome to hear Him talk to the masses when He walked this earth.
And here is the kicker.....He replied that, yeah it was pretty cool back then...and when I turned to look at Him, there were 2 very bright suns shining down.....I guess it was the Father and the Holy Spirit. Anyway, when I woke up the heaviness of my impending depression was gone and I felt truly, truly happy....happier than I have been in years.....
So now I hold onto that dream... it is a beacon guiding me every step I make and every breath I take every day....
A friend once told me that when you dream of Jesus it is not a dream, but a vision.....and you know it was so real I like to think that I really did take that walk.....
