Bad dreams

At about 4:15 a.m our girls came running into our room because of a bad dream. I was up already to use the bathroom and noticed I was dreaming about someone that does not like us. Usually I will say a prayer and go back to sleep.

Over the years what I've learned with my walk with God is, He wakes me up at night to pray. I know for sure the devil is up to no good at such moments.

My 4 year said " mommy can we sleep with you please? We had a very bad dream" what was strange is both of them came.  Did she wake her sister? I asked her what the dream was about and she  said " a very bad dream please let's get in your bed."

Right when they came in, my husband had gotten up to use the bathroom. Which was good because we were all up. 

I reminded them that Jesus is with them always and they should call on his name when afraid. I took them back to thier room and my husband and I went on our knees by thier bed and prayed with them.

And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. (Ephesians 6:18 NIV)

Talk about praying in the Spirit at this hour. I knew for sure something was not right. So we sent out the spirit of bad dreams in the name of Jesus. Asking for the Holy Spirit to fill our home and for angels to stand guard around thier bed.

What is so powerful about prayer is the Spirit tells us what to prayer about. While we were praying other things where revealed that we needed to pray about.

And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God. (Romans 8:27 NIV)

We could feel the presence of the Holy Spirit this early morning. We assured the kids that Jesus is with them and they went back to sleep.

...And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:20 NIV)

We try to teach our kids the importance of praying and also model it to them. My prayer is for the Light of Christ to shine in thier hearts at a tender age. May they experience Divine protection and go to Christ for safety and protection.

He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. (Psalm 91:4-6 NIV)

Jesus wants us to bring the children to him.

Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” (Matthew 19:14 NIV)

42 and Pregnant! Yes! Glory Alleluia!

  Hello there, It’s been a while!   How are you doing? I pray this finds you in good health and a happy state of mind. If not, cast all your cares to Jesus, he wants you to do life with him. It’s been a while since I wrote on this blog. A lot has happened since the last time we communicated. We all went through the pandemic. What a crazy season that was. I was talking to my husband the other day and truly felt God gave us a jubilee year(a year of rest), to restate and refocus. What the enemy meant for evil God turned it for good. I know many of us lost loved ones which is very disheartening. May the memories with them always bring us joy when we think of them. They are gone but never forgotten. They’ve become our cloud of witnesses if they died in Christ right? In my last communication with you I shared about the behind the scenes of every picture. What we see is really not what may be going on although pictures are worth a thousand words. If you did not read that post I encou...

How I met Prince Charming!

Image
Everyone has a story of how they met their Prince Charming. Yours maybe be more exciting than others. Or maybe, more awkward than others. Well, let me give you a chance to make the judgment in my situation. January 2007 was when it all started in South Bend Indiana. For those of you who don't know, January is the coldest, snowiest month of the year with icy roads. As the weather forecaster always says, "if you have no reason to be outside, stay indoors." For several years, I made it a habit to journal  important events in my life . Specifically, to look back with a thankful heart and see what lies ahead of me.                                   (we are no ordinary couple, we have a supernatural deliverer, Jesus Christ.)   January 30th is a big deal in my little world. As I sat alone in my empty apartment, I could hear the echo's of my breath. Usually, waiting to receive a call f...

A Mother's Bond

The connection we have with our children  is very powerful. The bond can not be broken. It is a love like no other. A love that speaks from the heart with a very powerful intuition. God made us carry them in our bodies for almost 10 months. This pregnancy process is a bonding mystery. Feeling the baby move and it can actually respond when you talk to them. I remember my babies giving me kicks of assurance when I asked if they are ok in there. What a magical feeling it is. The bonding continuous as we hear the first cry that pierces our hearts, nursing them, waking up at night and going through days with very limited sleep. Stirring at them to see if we'll see a body part actuall grow instantly. All the smiles and crying only builds up a stronger bond etc. We get soo attached to them that even leaving them home with our husbands is scary. Yet, we have to trust God and pray that we meet them alive when we return. I realized that this mother child bond is the same way God wants us to ...
