Tornados

Every since I was a little child God has spoken to me through my dreams. Some might say that is weird, but actually it is comforting to me. I have reoccurring dreams that usually mean something.

When I dream of tornadoes something is about to happen that I look upon as hurtful, sad, traumatic, life changing, etc. Before the announcement was made for the "reduction in force" at Covenant I dreamed of tornadoes. When I worked for the American Cancer Society I dreamed of tornadoes and found out there was turmoil brewing.

Last night, again I dreamed of tornadoes. I was in this big house and I was ministering to children. I saw the tornadoes coming from a distance and I told everyone to go downstairs that there was a basement, but no one would go down there except me. I was the only one that survived the tornadoes (there were four of them).

Then a little later I dreamed the house had been rebuilt and it was story upon story. The pastors lived in the middle of the house and the house was on the seashore. There were many people in the house and the tornadoes (waterspouts) were brewing again. I was making my way lower in the house, but not to sea level. The house turned and I could see all of the waterspouts. There were so many merging together, they were dark, and then the house above me flew apart and I was going toward the ocean. I was being pulled out in this torn apart house and I was crying to the people on the shore (where it was ironically sunny) to pull me out of the house headed out to the ocean. I was really close to shore, but moving so fast. No one would stop to help me.

And then I woke up.

What does it mean? I have no idea right now. But I do know something big is brewing. I'll start praying and I hope you do also.

Hey Tina,
Maybe it was that 41-0 ENKA football game. I know I felt like I was being pulled out to sea:)

I know. I think if I had a son in this district and he was the least bit talented in football I would have to move to Reynolds. It amazes me that we haven't had close to a winning season in years.
