i had a dream wednesday night that i just feel like sharing. (i won't go into all the details leading up to this point, but will just share the part that was encouraging to me)
i was trying to get back to my house and somehow got caught in a fire or war or something (you know how dreams are). i ended up hiding behind something with my Dad. i was terrified, but he told me to just trust in the Lord. then he said "who knows, maybe the Lord will just come back for us right now and we won't have to suffer anymore". i thought "that would be great. i'm tired of suffering". then i looked up and there was a bright shining light and the Lord was decending to earth to get us!
now, i am in no way saying this is any sort of prophetic enlightenment that the Lord has bestowed on me. however, i do feel that the Lord used this to encourage me. most dreams i have lately do include my Dad, but they are all about death and sadness. this dream was different. it was wonderful! it reminded me of the hope that i have that the Lord will come back soon and our sufferings will end! i may not be alive to experince it in this way, but one way or another our sufferings will end. praise the Lord that because of Christ we have HOPE!

i just went back and listened to the news story on your dad you have posted earlier. it was well done. i am so sorry for your loss and cant imagine the pain you must feel.
i am glad you had a wonderful dream about him. we know God has always used dreams to talk to his people.
Brooke, this is one of my favorite things - our sure and stedfast hope. Hope that is certain - as unchangeable as our Lord and He is seated in the heavenlies with the Presence behind the veil. Together they wait and pray for us. They too are longing to be with us.
