2025/4/24 Not a Dream

Edited by Chat GPT 

My morning steps. 

This morning, I took my usual walk—circling the pool in our backyard, which has become my personal track. To some, the repetition might seem tedious, but I find ways to stay engaged: listening to audiobooks, talking on the phone, praying, or simply acknowledging all of the work that needs to be done. Lately, I’ve been immersed in Dr. Dinah Dye’s book series The Temple Revealed in Creation.

As I walked, step after step, thought after thought, I glanced at my phone. The time read 7:11. At that exact moment, Dr. Dye was speaking about the number seven, which represents spiritual origin and perfection. Eleven, in contrast, often symbolizes chaos. But even chaos, when viewed through the right lens, is under God’s sovereign control (Amos 3:6, Isaiah 45:7, Lamentations 3:38). I smiled and praised Him right there,  awed by the timing, the meaning, and the reminder of who He is.

As she continued, describing God as Ruler, clothed in royal robes, I reached the Japanese Maple tree that hangs over the path just before the diving board. Its low-hanging branch forced me to bow. The imagery was sudden and striking.

Trees have long symbolized kingship. The diving board, just ahead, invites a plunge into the deep end—into fresh, clear water. Water, in Scripture, often symbolizes the Word of God. Our pool has a gate at the steps to keep one of our dogs from taking ten dips a day. Not that I mind his joy, but drying him off repeatedly wears thin. Still, that gate blocks the shallow end, the usual point of entry. It made me think: how often do we try to ease into the Word, into understanding, through the shallow parts first? But sometimes, the path we need to take—the meaningful path—is straight into the deep.

Life moves in cycles. Whether in our careers, our finances, our families, or even our spiritual walk, we find ourselves going around again and again—often unaware of where we are in the pattern. And yet, the pattern is there. His Appointed Times, the seasons of the soul, the rhythm of Scripture. The question is: do we stay in the shallows, or do we ever choose to dive deep?

I used to consider asking Darrell to trim that overhanging branch. Now, I see it differently. It’s become an important marker—a reminder to bow before my King, the Word made flesh.

If you quiet your mind, if you’re willing to see—He is everywhere, speaking through everything.

2024 Nov 21 A Dog Buries A Bone

 I dreamt that I saw a dog burying a bone in a flower bed. The dog seemed happy, and the flowers were vivid and all different colors. 

I thought it was an answer to my prayer and question to God of why there was so much repetition in Gen 24. I thought the dream was telling me the answer to my question meant that I needed to wait to understand it. But maybe there is more to it than that. I had been messaging my FB teacher Preston McNutt about Gen 24, and told him of the dream the next day. He sent it to a friend whose ministry is focused on dream interpretation.  This was his response.

So I’m not prophet but what seems prominent to me is that The dog is like Eleazer and the Holy Spirit Compassion (brown ) and Purity (white) Something seems dead and also buried, to her But He knows exactly where it is, and is happy not concerned The matter is covered in Grace And there are many good things coming from what seems to be dead and buried He looks at it differently than us To dig it up now of her own accord may disrupt something beautiful trying to grow Not that she can’t act But there are beautiful things over things that seem dead and buried she may not be aware of Like Abraham and Sarah in their old age And Eleazor was the oldest servant Isaac was likely in his 40’s And the marriage came because he was grieving the loss -bones/grave of his mother Grace covering something painful A promise that God hadn’t forgotten about An old promise that seemed dead

2024 Feb 20 Knock On the Bedroom Door

 2/20/2024

The other night I was falling asleep, in that in between stage, and I heard a quiet knock on the bedroom door. I answered and said, "Here I am, Lord."  I fell asleep.

That hasn't happened in a long time. 

2024 Jan 27 Darrell's Dream "An Ocean Wave"

Last night Darrell dreamt that he and I and a captain (possibly an angel) were on a very large yacht (his or our life / ministry) on the ocean (among the people of the nations). We were looking out onto the water ahead of us (looking into the future), and we saw something that we didn't quite understand for a minute. (This represents that it will take us a bit to understand what is coming.)  The captain asked if that was a wave or a cloud. It only took a few minutes when we realized that it was a wave. (The sea represents the nations, and a wave would represent a large number of people who have risen up to attack. It could be an invasion.  It could be a very arge riot. ) The captain sped up and took the wave head on and we climbed and climbed, while the captian gave it more speed. We got near the top of the wave and Darrell woke up. 

2021 Nov 19 ** READY TO GO ON **

I had a very short dream. I was standing on a stage in front of an enormous crowd right next to Bishop Salamat and maybe about 5 other people on his right side. I was on his left. We couldn't really see the crowd, but we all knew they were out there. Everyone was putting on their headsets. They were big too like what you would see when you are in an airplane. Yet there were more wires that curled around your ears. We all put our headsets on because we were about to go "On," but my hair was acting very strange. I could see it as if I was looking in a mirror. (In real life I recently dyed my hair gray so I could grow it out naturally without a huge line. So it's different shades of gray now.) Anyway, first my hair stood up a good bit on top of my head. The texture was something like an afro. Even the sides went straight up. It was hard to control. The next huge thing was it was the wrong color from one direction. It was like the orange in a fire. I can only relate it to a nap on velvet. When you put it in one direction it was orange and the other it was almost white -gray, and it was so, so, so soft! While Bishop just put his headset on and was still. He was ready. I kept fussing with my hair trying to get it under control and put it on. I see a fair amount in this dream, and it would be easier to share if it were not me. But here goes. Bishop Salamat has an important role in the end times. I don't really know what that will look like, but I can only imagine. The people standing on the other side of him were there along with me to be a help. I don't know why everyone else was on his right and I was on his left side, and why I was separated from everyone else. The crowd is the people we will minister to. The stage we were standing on is the Word of God. He was prepared and very ready for what he had o do. I was not prepared. My hair was not neat. I believe the reason the texture of my hair was like an afro was because it was strong. I believe the color was of bright orange was because it was the Consuming Fire of God that burns within me. I believe it was white-gray when looked at in another direction because it represents wisdom. But still, I was not fully prepared because I was trying to calm my hair. I believe with my whole heart we are on the edge of the end of the age. I would use every moment possible to be in the Word and seek those who have a true understanding of the context of Scripture. Any minute it will begin - any minute.

2023-9-5 ARISE 911

 Today is 9/17/23, and I'm finally writing this down

I play Wordle online while I rest and watch TV. I always guess the same word to begin the game. This particular day I typed the same word "Arise," which was the actual answer to the puzzle. At that moment I wondered if God was speaking to me. I paused and looked around the puzzle for any clues, but nothing jumped out at me as extraordinary. Next, I wondered how many times I had played the game, so I began the next puzzle. Lo and behold, the next game was 911 th. 

Thus, to the best of my limited understanding was, ARISE, and emergency!

Now what does that mean specifically for me? I have no idea of how.

Coffee With Carol

 10-27-2021

I remember just a snippet of a dream. I was having coffee with Carol and she told me this Wed was the last chance I would have to see them or her again. 

That's it. 

If Carol represented Ruach haKodesh then it could mean something will happen to me. 

OR 

It could mean there is a 7 day call before some big event happens (Great Tribulation?) (Remember Noach had a 7 day notice before the rain began.)  

OR

It could mean something might happen to Carol and Sonny.

OR

It could mean nothing at all. It was just a dream, but I can still see her sitting there sipping coffee,
