Last night I had one
of my recurring dreams. In the dream, it
is Sunday morning and people are gathering in the sanctuary. The church service will be starting very soon.
But I’m in my office, at the church,
trying to get dressed.
(I don’t know why I’m
getting dressed in my office at the church.
I’m just reporting to you how the dream works, I’m not claiming that it
makes sense.)
There is a feeling
of tremendous frustration because I know that I need to be in the service, I
have a role in the service. And yet I
can’t quite get dressed. Specifically, I’m
having great trouble getting my socks on. Because there is an urgent time element, I try
to dress faster but trying to increase the speed only makes the struggle worse.
In last night’s
version of the dream I finally got dressed and rushed out of my office only to
realize that I have to go to the restroom.
So, I dashed into
the restroom. Then I woke up.
But even though I
was awake and the dream was over I still felt some residual anxiety from my
struggle in the dream.
I mention all of this
because I want to assure everyone I am at the church fully dressed and I am excited
because I believe God is going to do something wonderful today.
I’m wearing socks
(which I was able to put on relatively quickly) and I’m ready to go!
