We went up to Wilkesboro this past weekend, and a couple (Steve and Karen) came with us. With 2 Karens (and a Samuel) in the Suburban, you can imagine the fun we had. So we decided that one would be “Honey” and the other would be, well, you guessed it, “Karen”. Ashley, Steve and Karen (S&K) all attend the school, and S&K are on a dream-interpreting team. So on the way home after hearing Doug Addison speak, they were all sharing dreams and talking about them. They have more experience than I do, and they said of one dream, “Well, brown usually means humility…” That statement made me wonder, “Why is humility the color brown?” Explanation (as I later found out): Brown sometimes represents a death to your “self” (AKA “flesh”) or a denial to the things that the “me” desires. It makes sense, but it takes more than the gray matter upstairs to figure that out; God has to show it to me to get it through my head. TA DA! I realized that I have been relying too much on the natural abilities God has given me to get me through whatever is on the horizon. And if I can’t do it, I’ll just try harder!
Ahem, that doesn’t work.
It was a gentle reminder, I have a lot less to be concerned with, and I am thankful that I am not the Manager of the Universe. Lots of miles to go…lots to learn…so thankful that God’s not done with me, yet.
