Some years ago I used to be plagued every night by worship songs. I'd go to bed singing them, be singing them through the night, and wake up singing them ... quite often with my poor husband saying please can you stop singing!!
For the last week I've found that it's been happening again - that, and dreaming very vividly! The main song that I keep singing is Matt Redman's Dancing Generation (check it out here). It's one of the best songs I've ever heard and it just lifts my spirit so much. The kids also love it and it keeps us bopping around the lounge for ages.
I used to dream every night and very vividly. Many years ago I had some really bad nightmares and after a particularly bad dream one night my husband prayed over me that the dreams would cease. I've never had a bad dream since! My friend Billy dreams very vividly too and we've quite often share them, wondering what on earth they mean. It hasn't been as common an occurrence for a while but God used to give me lots of dreams and some very prophetic visions. I shared a dream I had with a friend last weekend, 'that she discovered she was pregnant again' ... perhaps there will be a child!?!?! ... or perhaps it's symbolic of new birth in some other area of her life? It will be interesting to see what transpires.
I sense a new season is about to break in my life and I'm sensing God in a way that I haven't for a while. I've been a bit lost in the wilderness being bogged down with lots of earthly stuff, and I've given up many of the things that edify and challenge me most to focus on other areas. It's been a bit like walking with your head turned in a different direction but I sense God is realigning things - raising the bar and calling me to a place where I can hear him very clearly and respond to His voice. Sometimes I find I'm too tired to be bothered ... but most of the time I fear the Lord is going to give me a large boot in the rear end if I don't listen well!!
I will sing to the Lord a new song ... may it be a sweet sound to Him.
