a dream

i had a strange dream last night:
i dreamt that i was being chased by terrorists or something (actually one of them was the guy with the beard from that movie the saint). they led me into a room and i was on my knees, all three of them pointing guns at me. i started screaming out prayer to Jesus that he would protect me from evil, although if this was my time i was ready to meet him. And all of a sudden none of their guns worked. i kept praying, and then they were each on the floor holding their stomachs in agony. so i got up and handcuffed them all. (don't ask, it was a dream) i was leading them out of the room when all of a sudden there was some serious bomb going off, explosions and fire. none of the three men were fased, but i hit the deck. as i was on the floor i watched them all get up and walk toward the fire and disappear.
it was there in the dream when i woke up, heart racing, and thought, it's winter outside and i have a new job now. (i heard someone scraping their car and remembered that i don't have to be at work until 1:00 today.) so i bundled up, took the trash out and then spent a good 20 minutes performing a good scrape job on my car. that way, when i do go out to go to work with my business causal on, i can just brush off the snow that has fallen since then.
about this dream. two things.
one: i'm surprised at myself that i remembered to cry out to the Lord in such a time of distress. i hope that should i ever face a situation like that in real life that i will react in a similar way. (smile)
two: i think i may have watched too many "shoot 'em up" movies with my brother over christmas.

for anyone whom i've not discussed the new job with. it's going great. i'm jumping right in. i feel so much like this is exactly where God wants me. so many things are confirming and for that i praise Him. A gift.
let me use some words to describe what i'm anticipating. difficulty, challange, sadness, frustration, overwhelmedness, fear. isn't it funny that i can fully see each of those things for the near future, but i'm still so stoked about this job. if thats not strange i don't know what is. regardless, i really like my coworkers and the kiddos are adorable. i'm excited to see what God can do with and through me at Lydia.
