I had a dream that we were going to meet my daughters teacher for the next school year. Kinda like a meet the teacher event.
She seemed really nice and had spilled meal worms for a pet tarantula on the floor. I was helping her pick them up and she laughed and mentioned that the adhd makes her a bit clumsy.
I told her that her and Rachel will probably hit it off then because she's adhd too.
She seemed like a great teacher and we really hit it off.
I introduced Rachel to her and she said she wanted to ask her some economics questions as she would more than likely be going into the gifted program.
I responded that she could and was telling her that Rachel was able to understand some pretty high level concepts surrounding economics.
She kinda ignored me and spoke right over to me directly to Rachel as if I wasn't there.
She asked her some questions and I don't remember what they were but the thing I do remember is after she was done questioning Rachel she explained to me that "the party" likes to start these kids off young with these concepts so they can market themselves to the party to show the skills they can contribute and how they can be useful.
A red flag immediately went up for me but I played along to hear more.
I was about to ask her if the party was a conservative thing but before I could she emphasized that it was a very liberal thing and that most conservative and Christian parents are totally not on board with it.
I finally decided to speak up and was saying how we are Christians and how we don't believe in communist values.
But to build a bridge I said that I do appreciate the social safety net in place for the vulnerable but I do think it could be executed in a better way as government tends to ruin everything they mess with.
When I said we were Christians the atmosphere in the room changed and the teachers attitude totally changed towards me. She became hostile and antagonistic and scolded me for being late to the event.
I tried to show grace, knowing that she wasn't a believer and didn't understand how to be loving right now.
I apologized for being late and was just trying to be really kind and humble.
After the meeting I went to find my husband to tell him what had just happened.
He was supposed to be in this big room where all our friends were hanging out but I didn't see him.
A guy friend of his invited me to come sit with him and I came over and sat down on the couch with him but then he started to make a subtle pass at me and I politely scooted away a bit. Then he went in to try and kiss me and I was about to yell at him about being married but as I looked at his face, I realized it was the face of my husband. I wondered how I could have missed that it was him all along and not a stranger. Then I thought about how he probably thought I was mad at him when I kept scooting away and blocking his advances.
Then the dream ended.
Do you believe that God performs miracles? I believe! I have seen it in my own life! God has moved mountains through the power of prayer! When Jesus met the woman at the well and told her all she'd ever done, she told all she knew about Him. I want to do the same! How can I be given the experiences I have in my life and NOT share them? Jesus means everything to me and has never let me down! Step into my world! One where the impossible becomes possible through the power of Jesus Christ!
