Crazy Dreams

I have had a LOT of crazy dreams since Chris and I got married (Mom thinks it's the birth control) and this is just a couple of the MANY!

 

We were in the bank hosting a blood drive. All of the desks in the lobby were gone and there was a line of chairs in front of the teller station. Brandi and I were welcoming customers in to donate blood. It was really dark and really scary.

 

There was a doctor and a nurse. The doctor was Satan and the nurse was one of his demons. Creepy, I know. 

They told me that they needed all the blood they could get and if anyone found out who they were, they would kill me. If they didn't get enough blood, they would start to float in the air and if anyone noticed and figured out who they were, they would kill me. 

Well, of course I didn't want to give them any blood because it was Satan for goodness sakes! So, I delayed the best I can. Brandi and I were standing near them and the demon started to float in the air and she noticed and her mouth started to open and she started to say something. I quickly hushed her up and made her go to the bathroom with me. I told her who it was running the blood drive and that they would kill me if they found out that anyone knew. 

But then Brandi, being the voice of reason said, "Leah! You don't have to be afraid of them. You're a Christian and you can get rid of them!" It was cool. Anyway, so we got paper towels (which were black btw) and wrote messages on them to warn people. Then we ran out into the lobby screaming and telling people to get out. Another girl said we were acting crazy and there was nothing wrong with these people but we were frantic. I ran over to the boss, who was sitting at the end of the row of chairs in front of the teller line and told her what was going on and she also told me I was crazy!

Then the demon came over with a huge needle and was going to stab me in the neck to sedate me and he kept stabbing others along the way and no one but you would listen to me!

Then I just looked at him square in the eye and started quoting every Scripture verse I could think of....and I woke up.

 

My body was so tense and stiff when I woke up that I couldn't move. It was like a huge amount of pressure was placed on my body and I couldn't get up. It was awful. Eventually I had to use the bathroom so I rolled over and woke Chris up and made him go with me. I was scared!

 

On a funnier note, Saturday night I had a dream that Chris and I moved to Texas and I told him the only way we could go is if we lived near my friend Liesl (who also lives in Texas). I also insisted that we get a discount on anything that WAS normal size because "everything is bigger in Texas." So I spent HOURS in a grocery store trying to buy a normal-sized cantalope because "everything is bigger in Texas."

 

I can't make this stuff up!!!

 

Have a great day!!

Struggling to find the Lord's will....

Lately Christopher and I have really been struggling with God's will for us as a couple. We aren't exactly sure where He wants us to be.

We've been struggling a bit with our jobs. Is this where I'm supposed to be? Is this what I'm supposed to be doing? What is my purpose in being here? Am I doing the right thing?

We've been struggling a bit with our choice of church. Is this where we're supposed to be? Is this where we're supposed to serve? How can we serve in this church?

We've been struggling with our finances/expenses. We bought our truck without financing the title and taxes (NEVER do that!). Between the truck, moving, and me not having a job for 6 weeks, it really put us behind on bills. We're just now getting to the point where we are caught up and starting to manage our money.

We've been struggling with our living situation. Don't get me wrong, we are both very thankful to have a bed to sleep in and a place to stay. However, a newlywed couple living with someone else is harder than you could ever imagine. I do not recomment anyone trying it...it's not good.

We have finally turned to the Word to help us with our struggles. We've tried to set a time together every evening before bed to spend time alone with each other and with our Bibles. It helps. We just need to get even more involved in it.

So...family, friends, loved ones, passerbys....please pray for us. Pray that we will continually seek the Lord's will and to figure it out for ourselves...maybe we'll see a neon sign?
