I've had two recurring dreams throughout my life. For as long as I can remember, these dreams have haunted me. Usually, they visit me separately, but lately I've had them concurrently.
In one, I am caught in a tornado. I am desperately trying to help everyone around me get to safety, and the tornado is on a direct path to wherever we are. I wake up in a cold sweat just as the tornado hits us. The meaning of this one is very clear: in my real life, I feel out of control.
In the second dream, I live in a big old house. I've just finished redecorating the entire home, when I come across a door that I've never noticed before. I open it to find another wing of the house that I didn't realize existed. I have several new rooms to beautify. This one is a very happy dream, and I wake up energized and excited. The meaning of this one is also clear: in my real life I am being given new opportunities...doors are being opened.
For the past month or so, I've had both dreams at least once per week. Tonight, for the first time ever, they overlapped. I was in my big old house, and the tornado was bearing down on us when I noticed the door I'd never seen before. I open the door and go in...and I feel safe and at peace.
Then, I woke up and started fretting about how I'm going to make this whole "working for a mission organization" thing work. I quickly turned to prayer (which is rather unusual for me. I usually worry for a very long time before remembering I have prayer to turn to.). God cleared my mind and showed me how its going to work. He'll take care of the money, I just need to trust and do the work.
Weird and yet...Wonderful.
