Communion

Dear Father,

It is a beautiful day to be alive here!  I thank You for this day, a great additional day added to my days.  Thank You for our peaceful household despite all of our difficult circumstances.

Eighteen years ago, I had asked You to reveal Who You are to me.  I had only been a Christian for seven years and I was confused by all of the negative fruits of the spirit that I was seeing in my fellow Christians.  It is amazing how fast rotten fruit can spread to rot the good fruit if left unchecked.

Thankfully, I also had a few close friends at church that displayed the positive fruits of the spirit.  I could tell that they truly loved Jesus.  However, I once again became confused when I started to hear horrible gossip about each of them.  Clearly the enemy was at work here, but I was too new a Christian to be able to discern this.  I would later realize that these were all evil lies.

When attending church, I would often go up to the altar for prayer.  I would do this almost every Wednesday night and every Saturday morning.  I felt close to God when I did this, but now I was being coerced by my ex-husband and his family to stop doing this.  As they felt that this was an embarrassment to the family, I agreed to stop.

I am so sorry, Father, that I lost so much time floundering.  When I would have something exciting happen at my shops as a result of answered prayer, I would quickly dismiss this as not coming from You, but fruit of my own hands.  Those were my years of being squelched.  I was being squelched, but my worldly ways needed it.

I soon decided to stop asking questions about You as they were usually met with negativity.  I decided to instead go into quiet pursuit of You.  While I knew that You existed, I needed to keep things private while I learned more about Who You are.  I also made a decision to spend more time with my children exploring Your Creation.

We went on so many adventures together.  We went to the aquarium, the zoo, various museums, drives, parks, beaches and lakes.  During these drives with just me and the kids, I would play praise music.  We would talk about all that You would someday do for us.  We dreamt together.  2002 to 2004 was a different time for me.

Suddenly, all things changed after this.  It was time for three years in the furnace of affliction.  I questioned all I thought I knew.  I could not move backwards.  I could not move forwards.  No matter where I went, fire was there waiting for me.  Nonetheless, I met You there, Father, in my great grief and humiliation.

I had such great sorrow and pain from my circumstances that my heart was now skipping beats.  I was shutting down.  The courts did not support me as they had not yet encountered what happened to me and my kids at the hands of my ex-husband.  While there is now, there was no reference back then.

I soon learned to isolate myself from people and instead pressed into You.  You became my Husband and my Father.  Thankfully, I still had those three great friends that I did not isolate myself from.  They helped me come to grips with what happened and taught me how to stop my self-shaming and self-blaming.

In addition to being incredible supports for me and my kids, they were witnesses for me in the criminal and divorce proceedings that followed.  Soon after this, my kids and I once again went through the furnace.  This was the time of my desert place.  What a wicked time.  What a horrible and lonely time of five years or sixty months.  This is where I finally called out to You in prayer…

Prayer said in Erin’s past begins…

While I have learned to love You through all of my troubles, Father, I am still unsure if You love me.  While I have apologized and repented of anything and everything I can think of that I have done to You or anyone else, I am still unsure.  While I am deeply sorry for telling You this, my heart is breaking.   I am barely hanging on.

I am bankrupt and in great distress.  Because You have not blessed us, I am not sure if I even matter to You.  How can I when I see my enemies thrive and prosper at my expense over and over again.  I feel as if I have been punished much more than my crimes deserve.  I do not have anything left.  You have taken all that I have from me.

If You took my children, I would surely die.  Perhaps by me even saying this, I appear arrogant.  If so, Father, I am sorry.  No matter what though, I still love You.  However, I am going to take a break from believing that You will one day do great things for me and my children.  Father, even though it just hurts way too much to continue, please know that I will always love You.

Prayer said in Erin’s past over…

Father, You did all that You promised and much, much more.  However, it first required me to surrender fully to Your Will in all things.  It has been quite a race!

Yesterday, my husband and I took a drive.  Even though I was still in great pain, I love taking drives.  When we finally arrived at the coast, I became nauseous and my head was in great pain.  I became dizzy and unsteady and felt that we needed to go home.  When we got in our house, it was not long before I vomited.  I then laid down.

As I laid down, tears streamed down my cheeks.  I felt as if I was in a similar situation as the time just before You moved us from the desert.  Just like now, we were completely at Your mercy for our deliverance.  This has been a difficult journey, but an amazing one.  Thank You for guiding us.

You are so wise to not reveal Your plans in advance to us.  If I had known every step of the way in great detail, I am not sure if I would have signed up for the trip.  Knowing what would be involved would have made almost anyone nervous.  Well, now that I have passed through the fire, I love the destination and where You are now taking us.

It is like taking a trip with our children.  We do not reveal every detail in advance because there would be a lot of questions and grumbling prior to reaching the destination.  Who knows…they might even opt out of the road trip and miss out on all of the fun.  Sigh…as adults, are we really that much different from our kids?

I woke up this morning just after receiving a funny short dream from You…

Sub-dream begins…

I was sitting at a control panel.  This control panel was so massive that even a large man would feel small in comparison.  On this control panel was a large illuminated red button, along with a huge lever just to the right of the button.

Across from the panel and directly in front of me was a huge door.  The door had a metal plate with neon lighting that read ‘THE LEAST OF THESE!’  I heard a bell and I somehow knew that this was a signal for me to press down on the red button.

I got into position and pressed on the red button with all of my might.  After doing so, I heard and odd compression sound.  I then somehow knew that I was now to pull the giant lever.  I again got into position and pulled back on the lever with all of my might.

As soon as I did this, the door in front of me opened.  While there was fog and lights coming in from the door, almost like at a sports arena when the home team arrives, I could also now hear the sounds of cheering.  I decided to move towards the door…

Sub-dream over…

Father, this was such an exciting dream.  It was so real that, when I woke up, my hands felt as if I had actually pushed the huge red button and pulled the giant lever in real life.  Oh Father, thank You so much for not giving up on me!  I know that I am not the easiest scribe and dreamer as I can often act like a whiny baby.

I just pray that You fully know that my heart is now like a child.  As a child, I just cannot help myself from getting excited easily, but also disappointed just as easily.  Well, one thing I know…You know everything, including this…AND for all of us!  No matter what, Lord, I just know that I love You so much!

Jesus:  “Erin, come up.”

I smiled as I still had my feet in the same spot of the healing pool as I did yesterday.  I was so happy that I began to splash the water in delight.  Only then did I feel that someone was there.  When I turned to look, there was the same attending angel.  He had a smile on his face as he held a towel out for me.

Angel:  “Are you ready to get out or would you like to be served your dinner here?”

Me:  I jumped to my feet.  “Oh, is the King here?  Is He here yet?”

Angel:  “No, Erin.  You are still early.  The King is coming at the appointed time.”

Me:  “What is the appointed time?’”

Angel:  “Dinner is at 7:00.”

Me:  “What time is it now?”

Angel:  Smiling.  “You have arrived before the doors close, so do not worry.  The guests have not yet arrived.”

Me:  “Guests arrive at 6:00 and the door shuts at 6:15.”  I let out a sigh.  “Hmm, since there are no guests, this must mean I am very early.”  I grimaced.

Angel:  “Do not worry, Erin, as you are here at the time the King has expected you.”

I looked down at what I was wearing and suddenly felt underdressed.

Me:  “Everything here seems so formal.  Should I not be better dressed for the supper?”

Angel:  “Yes, Erin, come with me.”

I followed the angel into a room with nothing but female angel seamstresses.  Just before leaving me to their attending to me, he added the following…

Angel:  “So, Erin, would you like to be a ‘fit model’ for this gown?”

Me:  “Oh yes, angel, I love ‘dress up’!  Oh my, this gown is, by far, the finest dress I have ever seen, either on Earth or even here!  Please!”

Angel:  Addressing the female angels.  “Erin has arrived!”

After first closing the door for privacy, they placed the gown on me from the table it had been lying on.  They must have already known my measurements as this dress already fit.  As a matter of fact, it fit better than any item of clothing I have ever tried on.

They then opened the door and invited the male angel back in.  After doing so, they then turned me around so I could look at myself in the mirror.  I found this a bit odd at first as this was the first time I had ever seen a mirror in Heaven.

What I saw in the mirror soon had me crying.  The way I looked had changed.  I was now…Transformed!  I soon became uncomfortable staring at myself in the mirror as it seemed to represent vanity.  As vanity is contrary in Heaven, I looked down at my feet.

Angel:  “Do not worry, Erin, as this is a fitting, not a judgment.  Be joyful, Erin!  Be joyful!”

Me:  “Oh angel, who has the honor of wearing this magnificent gown?  Who is the bride?”

I heard good-natured laughter coming from the angel, as well as all of the ‘angel seamstresses’.

Angel:  “Oh, Erin, do you not know yet?  It is you!  Erin, you are the bride!”

Me:  “Me?”

At that second, I suddenly remembered what had happened just the evening before.  We were not even near our glass shelves when a wine glass ‘leapt off’ and smashed into pieces.  We then joked around about this being like the Jewish tradition of breaking a glass at a marriage ceremony.  Since this was the first time in our marriage that we had broken a glass of any kind, we had found this noteworthy.

Me:  “Oh, angel, how could someone like me deserve such a thing?”

Angel:  Smiling.  “Erin, you are preparing.  The King loves His bride.  He will come!  He will not delay!  Rejoice, Erin, rejoice, for the King is coming!”
