Dreams about Flat Tires and Walmart

-
Last night I had a very vivid dream, one of those that's impossible to get out of your head. It seemed strange at first, but I asked God to show me what it meant and what He showed me was too convicting not to share. In my dream, I was riding out from my childhood house in Florence, down the sidewalks beside a fairly busy road. I started out going really well, it was a beautiful day and I did not have any plans for where I was going. All of a sudden, it started to get really hard for me to keep on pedaling. I began to get quite frustrated and eventually looked down and thought I might have a flat tire. I tried to ignore it at first, but eventually it got so difficult that I had to get off and start walking. I did not want to walk home and I knew that I was close to a Walmart so I decided to go in to see if I could find another tire for my bike. It was really crowded though, there were tons of people and nothing but books and some movies and music. (I even saw some cute guys, but ...

"...without vision the people perish." I definitely felt as though I was going to perish after returning to America and realizing that I had no idea what I was supposed to be doing with my life!

Purpose of this Blog

-
So on a whim I decided to start this blog today. Although I question the need for another blog when there already so many on the web, I am doing this primarily for my own benefit. Many times, when my thoughts are swirling around in my head, it is incredibly helpful for me to get them out on paper or talk to someone about what I am thinking. The purpose of this blog is based on Paul's prayer for the Ephesians, "I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us to believe" I pray these things for anyone who happens to come across this blog. While these verses have often been used as verses to describe what happens at salvation, I believe that the ulti...
