Daniel and Dreams

Thanksgiving is just 19 hours away fro me. i decided to take a personal day today because once 550 tomorrow gets here it will be non-stop moving. and i figured a good day of rest does not hurt. i went down stairs when i woke up to hear piano music and smell pumpkin pie......my mind flooded with memories of home.

i had a dream over and over again last night, yet i do not know its significance. i was hiking around a large lake. the lake was on my right, and thick woods and rock faces were to my left. the trail was sometimes ground, and other times i was on jutting out pieces of the rock face. it was summer. across the lake by a round, were houses on a slight hill, with lawns of grass. and running down these lawns was crystal clear water, yet it did not tear up or erode the lawn. it flowed like rapids into the lake. at the round in the trail, it was shady with thick woods i had to climb through. i wanted to get to the water flowing down the lawn, yet never did because of the thick woods. this played over and over in my head. then, the last time something was different. as i got to the rock part of the trail, i looked across by the houses to see a huge splash in the water. wondering what it was i stopped and then noticed 3 kayaks that had slid off the hill. 2 were very large, and the third normal one person size. they came up right next to me and turned the bend and went along. then i woke up.

i have no idea what this means. iv been reading the book of Daniel. Daniel was an interpreter of dreams by God's grace. i desire to be like Daniel, not because of the dream deal, but because of his character. but like him, i am asking for clarity with this dream. i believe it has significance. yet i do not know what it is. but God does. i think, perhaps He is saying something to me here, and if so He will grant me the knowledge to see it.

in the mean time, i would encourage you to all read the book of Daniel. don't stay on the surface though, you'll get so little out of it that way. go deep. see, reading the Bible is like the ocean. it looks really kool standing on the beach, but when you dive in and go under, you discover so much more. dive in, go deep. journey with me and see why i want to be like Daniel.
