Dream 932 – Sing A New Song

Dear Father,
Thank You for another day! Thank You for all You do everyday! There are so many ways in which You show Yourself to be the God who loves us. I’m grateful. I have had so many things to occupy my time, that I have barely paused to reflect upon Your glorious grace.
Years ago I began to collect a yearly crystal snowflake ornament. I did this for 15 years starting in 1993 and then stopped when money became an issue. The crystal snowflakes were a splurge to myself which I then needed to set aside for lego sets or other toys. I packed the snowflakes away.
I tried to pull them out over the years and contemplated adding new ones to my collection, but for some reason I never did until this year. These were so beautiful and delicate that I feared I’d break some–which happened when I pulled them out in November 2015. The little crystal tree had knocked over. Then I just packed everything away. They reflected indulgence and were simply too wonderful for me.
Before Thanksgiving of this year, I had visited a local discount store where I had noticed a small box with a crystal snowflake in it. I asked the clerk if I could take a look at it. She handed it to me. “It’s our last one, but it’s from 2024–not the new one from 2025.” I smiled, saying, “It doesn’t matter”. The price was shockingly low. I asked her if it was a fake, but she confirmed it was the real thing. I purchased it still not knowing if I would bring out my crystal snowflakes this year.
After this, I drove to Lowe’s to look for Christmas tree toppers. They were clearing out their Christmas tree collection since it was so close to Thanksgiving. I then saw this 6-foot tall strange black metal Christmas tree. I asked the clerk in a joking manner if it had been leftover from Halloween.
Clerk: “No ma’am, this is one of our most popular Christmas trees.”
Me: “It’s metal and dark…Does it play music?”
Clerk: “Wait until you see the light it gives.”
He began to plug in the tree nearby.
Clerk: “I promise you this light is worth the wait!”
Well, now I had to see this–but I was skeptical. Then, suddenly, the tree illuminated and I was speechless. I expected horrible LED lights, but instead it looked like thousands of lights–it was stunning. I stood in shock. A customer approached the clerk.
Customer: “Can I purchase this tree?”
The clerk turned to me.
Clerk: “I think this customer is going to purchase this one and it’s our last.”
The woman was very upset as if she should’ve had first dibs.
Me: “How much?”
Clerk: “For you, $100.”
Me: “Sold.”
There were no leaves on the tree, just stick branches. I’ve been looking for these trees since, and I can’t find any–this seems like a “You” thing, Father!
I brought it home and since we had a Christmas tree already in our living room, I set it up in my bedroom. A few weeks ago I hung the crystal snowflakes on these black branches. It’s not much when the lights are off, but when they’re turned on I can’t believe how beautiful the sight is on this side of Heaven.
This morning as I laid in bed, the sun shone through these snowflakes–17 in total–and they cast hundreds of rainbows all over the room.
God, You reminded me how You can take something unassuming and create glorious light through it. You can use anything, really. It’s time to pull out my snowflakes moving forward!
As I watched this beautiful dance of rainbows on my walls and ceiling, I played my favorite Christmas song, “I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day” by Casting Crowns.
As tears streamed down my cheeks, I heard You say, “Erin, it’s time for song again.”
I responded, “Lord, is this You?”
He repeated this again, “It’s time for worship again!”
I had been in silence mostly because the Lord had called me to be still and rest. This year has been filled with gut-wrenching losses–my precious dog Zoey, my husband’s sudden death, the loss of our Canadian home, our belongings in the move, my cancer and our financial hardships. It’s been a year of defeat.
But in all of this has been Your hand of love, grace, and mercy, Father. You have cared for us and kept us close. I’m grateful.
It seems as if the birds we had up in New Brunswick followed us here–they look the same. But, I have some quail feed too, so this has been fun!
I’m not sure what is coming or when, but I know I can look forward to what You will do next. Thank You, Father, for sending my best Friend, Jesus, into this dark world. Everything You do is intentional and perfect, even when we don’t see it. You are perfect!
Last night I had an incredible dream…
Sub-dream 1 “Jesus In The Snow” begins…
I was walking on a path through the snow. I could hear a choir singing in the distance. As I walked toward the singing, the snow was falling.
Then I saw a doe appear on the path in front of me. She stopped to stare at me, then turned forward and began to lead the way for me. I wasn’t cold so this seemed supernatural.
I looked ahead and could only see what looked like dense fog or white-out conditions. Then I saw a robed figure with a hood wave me forward. The deer ran to the figure. It was the Lord.
Quickly my walk turned into a run toward the Lord! The deer lay down at His feet in the snow. The Lord stretched out His arms to receive me. I ran into His arms and embraced Him and wept.
Jesus: “I’m here, Erin. Isn’t it beautiful here? Here I am. You are with Me.”
Sub-dream 1 over…
I woke up suddenly. One of my dogs became startled and I could hear them from the other room.
It is Christmas and the greatest gift of all is Jesus! There has never been a greater gift than our Lord and His Gift of salvation.
I can’t begin to understand everything and why certain events had to unfold, but I can say this–He loves us and He has His reasons. I take comfort in God’s plan even when I don’t always see it or understand it! We are broken and on the mend here and we are safe in the arms of Jesus. We are in a perfect spot!
Jesus: “Erin, I am here. I am with you. Removing the former things–your ways and understanding in light of a new way is difficult. I know this has left you with questions, but I will reveal more as you continue to step forward in faith. The locusts have swarmed your house all these years, but the good news is My hand of restoration, joy, and glad tidings is here.
“God’s servant, Job, lost everything but he didn’t waiver in his faith despite great opposition from those closest to him. What had there been to gain if he had given up? Didn’t God restore double what he had once had?
“I have brought you back to the land of your heart and here I plan to increase all that you lost back to you. Do not allow those with no understanding dictate what you should be doing. I will direct you on your path with signs and wonders. I remove that which is unclean or burdensome and send great breakthrough. Since I have called you, then won’t I also provide for your every need?
“Many are saying, ’Why would God allow this? Why would God allow any suffering amongst His chosen, His Bride?’–to prepare for My greater glory! Erin, so you lack no good thing! I do not send in an army of soldiers with no experience in the battle or knowledge of who you are fighting against. You know your enemy and his patterns. Therefore, I will equip you with weapons beyond your abilities to understand.
“My Bride has been waiting for these weapons in order to fight the good fight. You have been subject to attacks and persecution in your silent waiting, but understand to those I call, I will also equip–and soon because I will be working through you. You will be able to do things impossible for man because I am in you.”
Me: “Lord, please do this soon. Let this be soon!”
Jesus: “Continue to pray, rest and sing. Stay alert and prepare your fields. Not all the prophecies have been fulfilled and the best is yet to come! My promises are true and the seasons you’ve been waiting for are here. Sing a new song, Erin, and rejoice! I am with you.”
Dream over…
Christmas Message from Erin…
I’m so grateful to our nest family of sparrows! Each one is special and brought together to gather near the Lord’s altar in His presence. We love you and thank you for being with us for this most difficult year! The best is yet to come! I pray the gift of transformation is this year too–there are still six days left of 2025.
I just read the following poem.
“A doctor can save your body. A lawyer can save your reputation.
A fireman can save your house. A policeman can save your life.
But only God can save your soul!”

I pray your Christmas is wonderful with your family.
Much love and many blessings,
Erin
