dreams

I usually don't remember my dreams, but this recent dream has stayed vividly.

It's been a stressful time, nearly beyond endurance. And I dreamed that I slept on my side (I know, dreaming that I was sleeping?!), cupping a silver, star-shaped paperweight in my hands.

The metal was warm and well, weighty.

It looked kind of like this:


As I held it, I felt strangely assured that God was present and I was loved.

I didn't know how this bad-to-worse situation would resolve, but felt peace.

I've been holding to the phrase from Psalm 26:3, "...for I have always been mindful of your unfailing love".

I counted this joy, this sense of God's physical presence. And that I had, finally, good sleep.
