Another dream - a quick one - the year was approx. 1997

Another dream - a quick one...In my dream my husband and I were walking down the sidewalk holding hands and enjoying the day. We were happy and content. As we were walking I looked up at the sky and remarked how beautiful it was. As my husband and I looked up at the sky I noticed some small black dots. I mentioned them to my husband and we watched them in wonder. As we watched the small black dots got closer to us and started getting a little larger. We watched, still baffled as to what they were. Soon the black dots got close enough for us to realize that they were falling from the sky, coming straight at us. Just when we realized that we were in danger we realized that the black objects were ...tires!!! Tires - falling from heaven!! My husband and I released hands and jumped off the sidewalk - dodging the tires. I woke.

In that season of my life I was attending a bible college (along with my husband). I told the dream to one of my mentors - a woman whose ministry was exclusively prayer. She simply asked me “who in your family works with tires”. Her question was sooo simple that I was taken back for a moment and then realized that my oldest son (a mechanic in the Army) worked with tires!! A few months later my husband and I graduated from the bible college and headed into another mission field - this time we went to work with Mercy Ships in Australia. We loved it there. We had found a little apartment close to the ocean where we could walk to work everyday. I was a graphic artist and my husband was an administrator assistant for the hospital ships. We were content and full of awe for the daily adventures we experienced. Six months went by in a flash - then my oldest son called us and told us that his wife of 8 years had left him and their 2 children to move in with another man. We were devastated for our grandchildren and our son. Our son is career Army - he needed family back up for the children so we immediately made plans to head home and take over the household for our son and grandchildren.

That was about 10 years ago. It was the beginning of a rough period but now...10 years later all has worked itself out and peace rules again:)

You learn what to look for in dreams when you write them down and refer to them later on. You learn which dreams are for a purpose and which are just from too much pizza the night before:) (I wonder why we always blame pizza and not mashed potatoes?)
