Sweet Dreams

For a while now I have been going through a spiritual dry period. What St. John of the Cross calls the long dark night of the soul.

In University I read Douglas Adams - we call it the Long Dark Teatime of the Soul.

It has been hard and long, but I keep seeking and spending time in the Word and prayer.

Then last night I had the most amazing dream. First, it is amazing because I actually remembered it. But that is not the point.

I dreamed that an angel came to see me, and I was not the least bit shocked or surprised to see him, I just smiled and said, "Oh! There you are!" with such delight, like meeting and old friend.

That is all I remember, and it felt like such incredible encouragement to me!
