Communion

Dear Father,

Thank You for another day here! Thank You for all You do! Thank You for my children, my family, and my family of friends. Thank You for delivering us through these storms of troubles we have been in!

My oldest son left today for Washington State. My lease won’t allow for 4 adults to live permanently here at our home so he had to return. Right now as I write, all three of my biological children are having lunch with their dad here in Bend. So, please let this turn out to be amicable. They are adults now so I trust in Your plans, Father.

This last week was a very difficult one. My daughter and I had to drive up to Surrey and Vancouver, BC, Canada, to meet with the bank and unlock our Canadian account physically there in-person. Things went well but I realize it is time to finish my business there as the drive was very difficult.

With the storm coinciding with our trip, it was scary. We had to drive separate vehicles because my daughter had some issues with her car that could only be dealt with in Canada. We encountered so many difficulties for this being only a 2-day drive, but based on the time of year it was a small window that we had no choice but to take and make this trip.

Unfortunately I have to make the trip again in the spring–but it is better than flying back out East to New Brunswick.

You sent me unusual signs when we were on our drive. The first sign was three bald eagles sitting on the branches of a barren tree, right beside the highway from Surrey, BC, to Vancouver, BC. Then, just five minutes after this, I saw something which caused me to rub my eyes. It had been misty on the drive, traffic was heavy, so I knew what I was seeing.

To my right was a muddy field with rows of mud in lines. There, in the mud, feeding off of whatever was present there were twelve trumpeter swans–or tundra swans, I couldn’t tell. But after the sign of the three eagles, I definitely took note. The beautiful sight of the swans confused me–here were these white graceful birds with mud all over them.

Both my daughter and I were ready to leave the big city and get back home. After having our car stolen in December 2023, I was extremely nervous about a repeat. After the year of battles we’ve had, nothing surprises me, Father.

The thing is, You create something beautiful from the ashes of our lives. With every tragedy, You bring blessings. With every major loss, You bring greater gains.

Tomorrow, the restoration company comes to remove our furniture which had been exposed to mold. Samples had been taken and a team of experts hired by the moving company had been sent in to asses the damages. The results have been depressing and things that had been next to these items will also be removed.

I have no idea when or how much they will cover because I was only insured for a certain amount, but clearly, Father, Your hand is in this and You will take care of everything. I will trust in You as this portion has been heartbreaking for me. It was one thing to deal with the events surrounding Jeff’s death, the shock and deep sorrow, but then, the aftermath of this… Almost 6 months of utter hell on earth. I’ve never encountered so many battles, so many disappointments, so much loss, as You warned me in the beginning of this year that everything I thought I could be certain of was about to change.

I’m thankful to You, Father, that my children are here and that You spared our lives! I’m grateful for this shaking because I’ve seen You protect and carry us safely through deep and turbulent waters to a peaceful shore. You have been kind to me, Father. When I begin to look back at the events and pause to reflect on that which I should’ve seen or ways I could’ve been, You stop me immediately and bring my attention to Your promises and Your Words of Truth. You change my focus.

I kept that which I didn’t want to replace or things I enjoyed – but most of that is even now gone or about to be removed. The auctioneer in New Brunswick still has at least three more auctions coming up with our household items from our old home in Canada. He is holding these until the spring, so this is good. To me, these items are already gone so I’ll be glad to finalize this chapter.

After I left New Brunswick on November 11th, the snow came and dumped nearly two feet. I am so thankful to not have to shovel snow by myself. I miss the home You built for us, Father. It felt too wonderful for us–especially for me, but You knew in advance what I would need and You provided to the very minute detail. At first I questioned things, then as the days unfolded I never stopped thanking You for the very things I struggled with initially.

So, in all my troubles as a trumpeter swan bathing in mud–I still know You see me as special and You care for my every need. Father, You are a blessing to love us even in our messes! Create Your message of hope through our mess!

Last night I had a dream…

Sub-dream 1 “A Famous Football Player’s Design Project” begins…

I had been hired as an interior designer for a famous football player. My task was to re-design his basement into a game room and personal space for him and his teammates. I didn’t work with him personally–he had a handler.

As I got into the project, I realized it was a problem. The basement floor had major structural issues which needed to be addressed prior to the actual remodel. There was rotting wood and odd things which were decaying and needed to be removed. I kept sounding the alarm and the handler relayed the messages to the football player.

Then, one day, I showed up to the home and they had hired a new, younger, more inexperienced interior designer–sent to ignore the structural issues and instead focus on the finishes. She had horrible ideas that involved not fixing the core issues and instead glossing over them with fresh paint.

She became tearful and overwhelmed when despite her efforts, even she couldn’t cover up the root problems. But they listened to her as I relayed important information she needed. Then I walked away from the prestigious project.

I got into my car and began to drive. It was winter and there was a mountain range in front of me that was covered in snow. It was beautiful! I then received a phone call from the football player while driving away from his housing development asking me to please come back and work on his home. He offered me double and agreed to let me work on the structural issues first, then the finish.

I agreed and asked that he allow the young designer to work with me. He agreed, so I turned the car around. When I did, I realized the snow-capped mountains were all around us and appeared pink as the sun was setting. I didn’t recognize where I was.

In another dream…

Sub-dream 2 “The Pheasant, the Prairie Dog & the Pine Marten” begins…

I had a yard with a fallen tree stump. It appeared to be summertime. I had just recently moved in and noticed an odd trio of animals living in the stump–one was a brown pheasant who blended into the stump and was barely noticeable, another was a small, lavender colored pine marten with a white face almost like a cartoon, and the other was a small groundhog or prairie dog.

When I would pause to look at them, the prairie dog would whistle and cry to draw my attention away from the stump. When he did this, then the pine marten would dance off to the side and the pheasant would bury its head in one of the holes of the stump. They were all fighting to protect something but I didn’t disturb them.

Sub-dream 2 over…

What a specific and detailed dream, but unusual.

My oldest son had two dreams recently that stood out.

In one dream, my biological kids and I were in a small boat in a large river. Our dogs were with us when suddenly the boat began to take on water. The boat sank quickly, but we were supernaturally delivered to shore and our clothes were dry! Nothing was lost except for the boat.

In the second dream, he was at an animal preserver or a zoo. There was a snake handler holding a diamond back rattle snake. The crowd was terrified of this snake, but the snake had no rattler nor did it have fangs. He said, “The snake is harmless”, and he picked it up.

Father, You are the granter of dreams–please bless us with more and increase our understanding!

Jesus: “I’m here, Erin, I’m with you! Remember My promises for you. Friends I sent to you revived these promises to you to remind you I am with you and will never leave you. I remove that which is no longer beneficial and bring to you that which brings life. I know this is difficult as changes are hard, but I promise you good things all the days of your life, Erin!”

Me: “I’ve been tired, Lord. I’m weakened and in need of a doctor here. Please heal and strengthen me, Lord. My heart has been grieving and I’m not doing well.”

Jesus: “You are like a desert flower in need of water. Desert flowers endure extreme conditions and even periods of little or no water but Erin, it’s time for you to bloom now.”

Me: “Lord, I feel myself withering away. I’m skin and bones now and I’m not hungry.”

Jesus: “Rest when I call you to rest. Eat when I call you to eat, and drink when I call you to drink. Erin, you are tired, hungry and thirsty. I’m here. I will dine with you and fill your cup.”

Me: “Lord, I’m now alone with my thoughts and I feel empty when the waves of sorrow come. I have no interest in so many things which I once did. Help me to remain childlike in my heart. Please keep me.”

Jesus: “Then search for Me and My thoughts–My Word is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path. My bride is like a beautiful swan in the mud of this world. You cannot avoid the mud, Erin, but even the feathers of the white swan are not stained by the mud. These feathers are designed to remain white, understand?

“You are Mine. This world is muddy, it’s dirty, it’s foggy and it’s not Heaven, but remember, in this life you will have troubles, but take heart, I have overcome this all! Erin, I am the Light of the World. Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life! A white trumpeter swan in the mud still lights up the darkness.

“The key to all of this, Erin, is to remain in Me, no matter the dark circumstances. People are attracted to you because My Light shines through you and to the enemy you are to be feared because he knows I am with you. Be not afraid, you will not suffer shame. The flame in you is Mine and will never go out, understand?”

Me: “Yes, Lord. I love You.”

Jesus: “I love you. Oh yes, your tasks are almost complete, do not be afraid to continue to face them though you are tired. I will strengthen you and grant you the great wisdom you have prepared for. I am with you in all things. Do not worry! I will not leave you!”
