Spiritual matters seem foolish to those who don't know God. But how EXCITING it is to know God!

1 Corinthians 2:9-14
"But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned."

Dreaming a meaning
The last 2 nights (or mornings, really) I have had disturbing dreams. My alarm always goes off at 5am, and this week I have had to snooze until 5:40... because I am dirt tired. Well, yesterday I turned off my alarm at 5:40 and fell back asleep for 20 minutes. During that time I dreamed about someone who has not penetrated my dreams in quite some time. This person used to haunt my every thought, but God has really helped me to focus and meditate upon Him. I can't even describe the dream, but I woke up feeling icky.
This morning, Charlotte woke up at 4, and to my surprise she fell back asleep in my bed with me. As I fell back asleep, I had another dream about the same person. This dream was extremely vivid, unlike the one before. I was standing in a house which belonged to me, and the entire interior was destroyed by the person who I dreamed about the night before. He was accompanied by another person who used to haunt my dreams as well; they both destroyed my house. There was no more furniture, and the walls were a hideous, ugly shade of pink which had blue graffiti all over them. It looked like an abandoned house that someone had used to throw a giant party.
And then all the sudden I was outside, and a girl I used to know approached me and said, "what did he do to your house?" She was implying that he had wrecked her things and her house as well. So I walked her over to my house, and when we got inside, it was completely new. It had been painted over with white paint, and the only evidence from the prior damage, was on the surface structure. You could almost see an imprint of what had been graffitied on the walls, but it was almost completely gone by the covering of the white paint.
Some other stuff happened after that, which made my thoughts linger this morning, but the reason why I'm blogging it is because there is a deeper meaning here. I believe the house represents myself. This person very nearly destroyed everything in me. But now, I am clean and sanctified. There are still scars from my past, but God is helping me to move further and further away from my past, and closer to him.

I declare
Job 28:12,28 But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding? ...And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.
Psalm 66:16 Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.
I was saved on March 31st, 2011. There are not enough words to express how God has completely changed my life, and everything He has done for me. For the first time, I can truely say that I am a new person. My old self died, when I asked Jesus to forgive me for all the years of bondage I was living in. How great is our God, that He forgave a sinner like me. And until you find the fear of the Lord for yourself, you can't possibly comprehend the truth of His amazing grace. But, with God, all things are possible, and His mercy endureth forever.
I have the joy of the Lord, and I am so happy to serve Him with all my heart and soul and mind and strength!

The Voice of the Lord
Psalm 29 “The Voice of the Lord”
Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength. 2) Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. 3) The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the LORD is upon many waters. 4) The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty. 5) The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon. 6) He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn. 7 ) The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire. 8)The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh. 9) The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of his glory. 10) The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever. 11) The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.
