Wow thanks guys!!! Thank you Connie!!!

Right Mark, EXACTLY!! Me too!!! THANK YOU CHOLETTE!!!!! That was a wonderful word and I'll put it to use! THANKS SO MUCH GUYS!!!

So there is a person I know that is older than I, but operates mentally the way someone in middle school would when it comes to emotions. Keeping this in mind, I've always taken what that person has said with a grain of salt and most of the time keep my mouth shut. What's worse is that I witness this person cutting down their own children the way some people would a dog. I keep my mouth shut because it's not my business and just pray they get better. I also offer advice when it's not obvious I'm preaching to them about their parenting skills. ANYWAY..I cant tell you how much I've overlooked in the past. But sometimes, when I feel this person is attacking my parenting skills, I get fighting mad. THis is really the only time I've ever spoken up to this person and been rather angry. So last night I dreamed about the person and they were talking to me..suddenly I got my glass of tea and dumped it all over the person's head. They're breath was taken away and I said "don't talk to me like you would talk to a little sister, I AM NOT YOUR LITTLE SISTER!" Then I apologized and told them I wished I hadn't acted that way but then began to tell them what was really on my heart. I knew this would cause a lot of drama. And yes it would if I did IRL...just the slightest thing I say or do in contrast to this person's ideals or state of mind causes unrelenting drama... Anyway. I figure the dream is real because usually when I have dreams of this sort there is a confrontation of some sort that happens. I don't want confrontation. I just want to do the right thing and say the right thing at the right time and speak out of love. Anyone else have people that are difficult to deal with? How do you handle it? Have you found a scripture that helps? Thanks!!

Today my son has an appointment with the cardiologist. I always tend to get a bit nervous before these..Please pray for a good report and powerful testimony. Thanks!

I stand in agreement with everyone on here! I pray the Lord lifts you up and brings you constant encouragement, edification and love during this time. We cling to His promises!!! You are so loved and so appreciated!

Oh PRAISE GOD!!! AMEN THANK YOU JESUS!!!

Oh Praise the Lord!! I've been praying for you since I read your post last night!!! PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!

Praise God!!

Yes I will pray for you!! Lord I pray that you touch astra's family right now. I pray that you come into this home in a mighty way and you melt hearts and change lives. I pray that you give astra a supernatural faith that she can't comprehend how on earth it got their in her heart, but that it's such a HUGE faith from you that she can SEE CLEARLY the victory over the situation even while the storm is raging on! Lord you said we can ask for whatever we want in Your name and it would be given to us and I just pray that you grant this supernatural faith, and spiritual sight of the victory to her. I pray that you fill her heart with so much love that the enemy cant help but get sick of it and run! I ask that you fill her heart and mouth with your Word and that it becomes a light that continuously plant's seeds into her family's hearts. We love you and thank you for your Grace that carries us through all situations. You are Mighty to Save Sweet Jesus!!! In Jesus Name, Amen!!!" Woohoo!! I felt that prayer in my gut!!!

I know how you feel and often its like we struggle so hard to finally be on that mountain top, and when we get there we're so happy!! But it seems when we're on the mountain everyone else is in the valley. I think the devil tries to make us feel guilty and steal our joy. But the Lord blesses us so we can remind others of His goodness. I think this is the purpose of it. Don't let anyone steal your joy, if they are bitter because of your victory, they've just forgotten about the Lord's faithfullness and it's our job to remind them.

Yes I have seasons where I only have one or two dreams..then seasons were I have like 8-12 or more in one night. I'm not really sure why?

Thank you so much Daisy!!!!!! I have no idea how I missed this response! I get so focused on the things that I'm NOT doing and I forget about the rest, so I really really appreciate what you've said! You know, when I went through all that with Devin's heart surgeries I really didn't know much at all about dreams. I knew I had been given a gift, but had NO idea what was going on. I had SO very many dreams during that time of stress and I know it was the Lord speaking to me and comforting me every step of the way. It seems like He used that situation for so many different reasons to make me stronger in my walk with Him. That was also a time that I learned to pay closer attention to the dreams He was giving me. It seems during stressful times like those in my life that He gives me the most dreams and words of comfort in my sleep. Yes, I really am a protective mother!! Much more so now than ever! Being in the hospital really taught me how to speak up and battle for my child's sake. Today the school nurse called me about my oldest son and told me that his clothes were soaking wet and he wouldn't cooperate in class unless he had dry clothes on. I told her "huh, that's strange, I didn't notice him having wet clothes before he got on the bus" She said "Really? How could you not notice? He's soaked with water all over!" Now I have no idea how he got wet..but when she said that, it just really irked me lol and I really was prepared to go to the school and let her know that I wouldn't have intentionally sent him to school wet. It's those types of things that I really battle with the most because I was so used to speaking my mind to the drs and nurses. If I didn't, Devin wouldn't get the treatment he deserved, but before that, I had been too timid.

Fleeing a Wedding Dream: I dreamed I had met this man named Scott and we had plans to get married. We had set a time and everything. At the last minute I decided to not marry him. I gave the date of the wedding to someone else who wanted it and was getting married. I went outside to get something from my car..or I was just walking around and suddenly this man was there and I knew he was out to rape me. I ran and ran from him but he followed close behind. PRAISE GOD I finally made it to the sanctuary where my friend was getting married (Right during the wedding). I told a neighbor sitting next to me what was going on and why I had been running. I was glad I was safe and worried the girl getting married would be upset with me for interrupting. Manifestation: I had made arraingements to purchase a dog from someone on Craigslist LOL!! But I was struggling inwardly about it because I really couldn't afford the dog AND the gas to drive so far away to get him. I felt like the devil was going to steal from my finances and WOULD have had I not canceled getting him!! I knew this would open up an opportunity for someone else to buy the dog, but in the end I was worried the person selling the dog would be inconveinenced by me canceling.

Worried about my son's medicine Dream: I dreamed I took my son's medicine to the Pharmacy counter because I had been told I needed to pay for it. I took it to the compounder in a nearby town and they told me it had already been paid for. I was glad it was covered and felt silly I had done all that worrying for nothing. Manifestation: this was literal :)

Two of my kids are step, ages 11 and 9. Then I have two boys from my previous marriage ages 7 and 5. Then my hubby and I have one together, He will be 2 on Christmas!! I have to tell you it was a battle Sunday before I posted this. My two boys (from the previous marriage) were diagnosed with autism. My 5 year old has the heart condition (don't know if I've told you about him before?) anyway he's had 3 open heart surgeries and another minor heart surgery...good grief I've got a list of things I could write on his medical history! He's the one that I was having such a difficult time with...I might ought to take this to the Christian counceling section.. But he doesn't speak. So he came down with this terrible double ear infection which was also making his jaw/teeth hurt! We had no idea anything was wrong because he had no fever...so we assumed it was the autism. We prayed over him and I remember praying for his ears..but I didn't know why I had had this vision of his ears and I prayed for them...then I kept on assuming it was the autism that was driving him coo coo! So I was feeling pretty sorry when my husband took him to the ER and he had a double ear infection! So the only way he communicates is through screaming and harming himself. (It's from the frustration of not being able to communicate) So he was slapping himself in the face repeatedly, biting himself, and punching his own head. I tried stopping him, but he fought me and ended up punching me in the eye and using his head as a sledgehammer against my chest. I just didn't know what to do but to let him hash it out himself. I put him in his room and lie on my bed asking the Lord for help. I just get so far to the bottom when he acts out like that I feel helpless as a mother to do anything for him, its like nothing I do is any good. The school says it takes two of them to hold him down when he does that and they ask me what I do at home. They say "How do you do it?" It's so sad, I can feel his frustration from not being able to communicate. I really get turned off to the "if you're not healed its cause you don't have faith" message because I got burned big time in the past about his heart. I told the drs and nurses and whole family that he was going to come out of me with a perfect heart. (I had recieved a prophetic "word" that he would be born healthy) I didn't believe the drs when they told me when he was born that he would still need heart surgery. I didn't believe the drs because I believed God so much! The devil tried to use it to steal my faith, but I knew better. I told the Lord that I knew better and that I was going to need Him to help me through this. Finally one day I asked the Lord "why?" And His answer was so that I would learn to depend on Him. I think there is more to it, but it's been a HUGE battle to use my faith for his healing anymore because of that. I had actually been praying that night for the Lord to heal his mind and his heart when HE SHOWED ME HIS EARS!!! I had no clue something was wrong with them, I just knew he was acting looney! Poor babe, he's much better though now! Those heart surgeries were a battle for sure, but this autism is just a different type of mountian the Lord is gonna have to help me climb! I cant make it over without Him!

I have five children and sometimes I find myself having a difficult time dealing with particular ones over others. NOT that I'm saying I'm showing favoritism..it's just that on specific days I have to ask the Lord to help me love these certain children more because they know just the right way to make life a living you know what!!! It seems no matter how much of myself I give, they just take..no matter what I do, they still aren't happy. No matter how many times I give warnings, they don't listen.. Well today I hit rock bottom and I was lying in bed. And I prayed to the Lord. I said "Lord, I'm to the point where I just want to give up being a mom." (even though I knew giving up wasn't an option, I still had been run down by the enemy so hard and was that discouraged) So i fell asleep..I was dreaming I was reading scripture in the new testament. The word was from the Lord, it was correcting me, but it was edifying. I looked to see what chapter number it was, it was Chapter 17. When I looked to see what book it was, I woke up. So When I woke up I asked the Lord what book to look in. He said "Luke" Here's what the Lord showed me: Luke 17~ Good parenting 1. Distractions will come. The devil has a host of things he throws at us to keep us distracted from spending quality time with our kids the way we know we should. AND [Jesus] said to His disciples, Temptations (snares, traps set to entice to sin) are sure to come, but woe to him by or through whom they come! 2. In your anger, and frustration do not sin. (Do not exasperate them) Children follow by example..remember also that their guardian angels are always in Heaven and see the face of the Father. It would be more profitable for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were hurled into the sea than that he should cause to sin or be a snare to one of these little ones [[a]lowly in rank or influence]. 3. Give them unconditional love, this kind of Love is agape love, the kind that has plenty of patience!!! (1 Corinthians 13) Pay attention and always be on your guard [looking out for one another]. If your brother sins (misses the mark), solemnly tell him so and reprove him, and if he repents (feels sorry for having sinned), forgive him. And even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and turns to you seven times and says, I repent [I am sorry], you must forgive him (give up resentment and consider the offense as recalled and annulled). 4. THIS TOO SHALL PASS!! The Lord has given us a measure of faith..We should be encouraged by that and exercise it, no matter how bleak our situation with our children our. Plus, our kids are watching us walk in faith every day! The apostles said to the Lord, Increase our faith (that trust and confidence that spring from our belief in God). And the Lord answered, If you had faith (trust and confidence in God) even [so small] like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, Be pulled up by the roots, and be planted in the sea, and it would obey you. 5. Lots of people can give birth to children.. But not all are faithful. It is our joy and duty unto the Lord, and to our children to be GOOD, faithful parents. Will any man of you who has a servant plowing or tending sheep say to him when he has come in from the field, Come at once and take your place at the table? Will he not instead tell him, Get my supper ready and gird yourself and serve me while I eat and drink; then afterward you yourself shall eat and drink? Is he grateful and does he praise the servant because he did what he was ordered to do? Even so on your part, when you have done everything that was assigned and commanded you, say, We are unworthy servants [possessing no merit, for we have not gone beyond our obligation]; we have [merely] done what was our duty to do.

Yes, mostly when I have those fantasy dreams. Like when the Rangers were playing the cardinals recently, I dreamed the Rangers won the world series. I assumed it was prophetic cause I've had loads of prophetic dreams about sports and who would win...I even told my husband the Rangers were gonna win What helps me to differiciate between the ones that are prophetic and the ones that aren't is if I get those prophetic reminders where I see something from that dream the next day that reminds me of the dream. To me, this is a sign from God that the dream will come to pass. However, not all prophetic dreams come with reminders, so it's difficult to know all the time...

Wow, that should have been allowed to be spoken! It's all biblical too.. I say you're right on! That was a wonderful word!

LOL it's ok, now I understand better and she reminds me of someone I know.. As an outsider, I don't know if I'll be able to give you the right advice, but it sounds as though standing your ground is the right thing to do. There have been times where I've done that with my mom (stood my ground on an issue) and later she saw the err of her ways and told me how proud she was of me. I'm thinking that If you just keep standing your ground, leave her in the Lord's hands and allow Him to deal with her heart and the situation, that would be best. The person I know thats similar to how your mother sounds is complicated. She grew up in a highly disfunctional family too. I think anyone (me included) who comes from disfunctional families has issues and things that we need to be delivered from. God is still working on me! LOL! However, keep that in mind when dealing with your mom. YOU keep doing the great job you're doing with your daughter!!! and I'm sending you a BIG pat on the back!!! LOL!!

My pastor taught this this weekend :-D It was for me too!

Daisy, have you heard of righteous anger? It's ok to become angry when we are defending what's righteous. God defends righteousness in His anger, and Jesus did too when he overturned the money changer's tables in the temple. He drove them out with a whip!!! LOL!!! Oh boy he was mad!! When you're standing up for the right thing, anger becomes annointed. like Rosa Parks!!! OOH girl I'm getting goosebumps!! Or Elijah when he got mad at all those false prophets and slew them on a rock.. (I think he did that..that sounds aweful...but you get the point right?) Anyway in the end he saw the downfall of Jezebel...when before that he was afraid of her and ran, asking the Lord to take his life.... Anger, the way it's meant to be used (along with self control), avenges righteousness.

Oh and having your eyes covered in mud hurts..like sometimes we have to go through a big hot mess before we're delivered.. That's what I meant about my hubby being able to tell you all about that dirty mud in his eyes..OOOH man!!! But PRAISE GOD HE CAN SEE!! LOL Ok i'll stop now!
