Comfort in my dreams.......

Last night before going to bed I went and laid my hands upon my eldest daughter and prayed over her. She is going through a very difficult time right now and I don't know what else to do. When my prayers were complete Michael and I talked for a bit and I headed off to bed full of tears. I cried myself to sleep praying to God for healing for my little girl and comfort for the both of us.

I awoke this morning not knowing what I would find. Would I find a child still so, torn or a child that was dealing with her pain?? How as a mother could I continue to comfort her when I too am aching so, badly for her?? After Michael got off to work I went and held my girl while she slept. I held her as tight as I possibly could and continued to wonder.

A couple hours later our day started and we talked for a bit. She is actually doing pretty well. But, the mommy in me knows that even though things seem okay now that there will indeed be a storm ahead. A day of asking why me??? How in the days to come can I or will I be able to comfort her. As I was thinking about this...that is when it all hit. My dreams from last night came alive. I dreamt last night of Guatemala. I dreamt that I was there roaming the streets talking to people and then realizing after being there for so, many days that I hadn't gone down to the arch....I hadn't been to Pollo Campero for my wonderful pechugitas nor to Saritas for my doble scoop of fresa. Even though I've NEVER experienced this I have heard of the fair (rides and all) in Guatemala and I WAS there. I saw the Ferris wheel and carousel. You see Guatemala is my place of comfort. There is just something magical about that place. I being the control freak that I am EXPECTED God to grant me comfort and peace during my waking hours not my sleeping ones.

So, at this moment instead of wondering how I can help my little girl I know for SURE that GOD will speak his words using my little voice when they are needed most!!!PRAISING GOD for renewing me in the way that ONLY HE can do!!!!!!!!!

My prayer today is not only for my daughter but, for those seeking comfort from God. May each of you find comfort in our Father's arms and may you be opened to hearing him NOT just during the day but, in your dreams also.
