Dreamer

I was going to research the history of the hammer, and let you know what I found. You see... that's totally boring, because I could only find that it started with people forever ago... like cave man kind of forever ago... and he used a rock... then eventually, someone put a handle on it. See, you can't right a blog about that... that's stupid.

Anyway, I thought that the Lord wanted me to share something with you. I had a dream. Well, you could say that I have had the dream 4 times vividly and I know there have been many more. I wanted to tell you the one I had last week. And just so you know, I dream EVERY night. I love to dream!!! BUT, I also know when there's a special dream that means something, and that I know I have to relay to you guys. Here you go...

It started at a hotel this time. I was on the third floor. There were a lot of people there. I see mostly people I know from First Love. (We are generally in some sort of classroom setting). A HUGE tidal wave comes up and pounds on the whole beachfront and all the buildings on it. Many people lose their lives. The waves kept coming and we all kept running. The water went up past the third floor. If you could make it to the fourth floor- you were ok. It was actually very scary and very intense. It would get very, very dark, and then we would all begin praying. The building begins to slowly move as the water pounds it and the lightning and thunder sound. We all began to pray- to speak against this storm. Then… the water subsided and then we all went, got our stuff that was not washed away, and went home.

We CANNOT let the things of this world get us. Many people stayed with their possessions and were killed/lost. Those were the people staying with the world and not wanting to go to war. The waves were warfare coming against us- coming with such force that many could not battle- could not stand! Notice that once prayer had begun and speaking against the evil darkness that came about had begun- the force had subsided and the sun shone so brightly, and there was a great peace. We were able to live! Not only live, but live in the beauty and greatness of our God. We need to be prepared!! There are such things that are coming against us that we need to know where we are and where we stand in our place with God. Cling to the Holy Spirit. Take heed to it. The darkened time in the dream was the longest. There will be a long period of evil. Hold fast to the Lord, and He will guide you through this point. I also noticed that the building never fell. It had such a foundation that the waters could not wash away the dirt it was on, nor could it break any point of the building- the windows or doors, I mean. We need to be so grounded in the word and in our God that we do not hesitate when we see the beginnings of these things. The day will come, and we will know.

There are things that we cannot do on our own, and this is by far one of the hardest tasks to take on- to war with the enemy. Praise God for his everlasting love and mercy. Praise Him for allowing us to persevere .

I say all this to convey… be ready… it’s coming…

Why do I Call Myself a Chick-fil-a Wife?

SO… just so you guys know- I’m not very good at this blogging thing, but I think it’s cool. AND- it's hard to keep in touch with my family sometimes... So, what really is a blog? I plan on working on that one later. I just really wanted to let everyone know what’s going on in the life of a Chick-fil-a wife. After asking Todd (about once every other week) when he was going to fill out an application for Operator of Chick-fil-a, last Tuesday, Todd announced to me and Jadie that he is ready. We will be here through the holidays this year, but we could move as early as the first day of the year. When? Where? We just don’t know. BUT- I have come to the realization that a year is very short. I mean- I have already been married for two and a half months! I can’t believe how time has flown by. As I think about things and what’s going on within the next year, I have noticed that there’s not much time left in Perry. I can’t wait to spend this time with my friends- going to Six Flags and the Braves games, eating s’mores and playing the dumbest games ever. Hopefully- this will be possibly the best summer ever. I really will miss all of you- but it’s something I have to do. It’s been Todd’s dream for pretty much forever, and I- as his wife- am incredibly happy and supportive of that.
I’m trying to think of something else to say- but I can’t think of anything.
I thought of having a Ode to Isaac My Dog Blog- but it was suggested that I not go down that road… I will show pictures though… since it has been requested becuase a lot of people don't even know what he looks like yet!!
Love you guys!
