I had a dream..
Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night crying because of a dream you just had? I have. Normally it's because the dream had to do with the death or sickness of a family member or a friend. But not this time. I've never had a dream like this before....
There I was, sitting on top of a hill where a breeze blew the grass, making the long blades appear like flowing water. The view from where I sat was magnificent. The green rolling hills were below me, and the blue mountains towered above them, creating a beautiful horizon. There was no sun. But there was a soft, warm, buttery light cast over everything I could see. As I looked beyond the mountains, the world seemed at peace. For a while I was satisfied just sitting there admiring the splendor. But sooner than I hoped, I found myself coming back to reality. I was just a girl - an unsatisfied, incapable, sinful, hopeless, jealous, broken, burdened, confused girl. While I sat there pondering all the cons about myself and my life, the world seemed to darken. All of the sudden, feeling like someone was watching me, I turn around. There He was, walking up the hill towards me. He didn't stop. He continued climbing the hill until He stood right in front of me. Confused as to why He hasn't said a word, I look up at Him. Still not speaking, He looks down at me, making eye contact. As I look into His eyes, I become overwhelmed. I instantly knew why He didn't speak. His eyes spoke louder than thunder in a storm. They were filled with love, pity, comfort, assurance, blessings, promises, truth, wisdom, forgiveness, acceptance, strength, satisfaction, healing, gentleness, perfection, and breathtaking beauty. They drew me to tears. As my vision blurred, I buried my head in my hands and broke. At once, He reached down and picked me up, gently standing me on my feet. He brushed my hair out of my face before carefully wiping away the tears from my eyes. When I could see again, I realized who He was - my Savior. Overwhelmed with joy, love, and awe, I fall to my knees crying. This time He took my hand. I glanced up at Him to find Him smiling down at me. My mind seemed to be washed clear of all the things, I had no longer than a few moments ago, thought about. In His eyes I was perfect. He was completely satisfied with me.....

It's been a while hasn't it?
Wow! I haven't blogged in months. Sorry. This semester has been pretty hard. I'm getting ready to graduate and go to college, and the fact that my family is moving to Georgia has been hard to wrap my mind around.
There are so many thoughts and emotions running through me right now, it's sometimes hard to focus on the tasks at hand. Because of this, I'm learning to cast my burdens, anxieties, and pains on Christ. He came to save me from them, and to carry them all myself is saying I don't need Christ. Without Him I would have no hope in this life or the next. Because of what he has done for me, I can live with hope of what is to come.
I have also been learning to be free. By this I mean, not take on burdens, tasks, and responsibilities that are not mine to take. This has been very hard for me, but with strength from my savior, I will overcome it! Not to long ago I tasted that sense of freedom - no worries, no burdens,and no pain. Now you could say I'm addicted. I've got the love of my creator, and that's all I need in this life. I don't have to be afraid of letting go, being myself, and having fun. Life isn't always serious. I don't have to worry myself crazy over what other people think of me, or how and why they judge me. In God's sight, I'm perfect and holy because of His son, and that's what should truly matter.
