Sometimes I feel like I have these really intense God encounters. And I have faith that that's exactly what they are. A week or so ago when I had a bad dream and then missed a call from David, I lost it for a bit and started crying. I reminded myself of Psalm 91:15 and then I prayed for comfort. And I really felt as if God was there and rubbing my back, something my mom used to do when I was little. I felt like I was getting the exact comfort I needed.
Last night I had a similar experience. David told me he'd have to go on a field trip sometime in the near future and I was worried. Very worried once we got off the phone and almost tearing up but I kept trying to remind myself that he said it was safe so I needed to believe him. Then, of course, I began praying. And I had the same kind of comforting feeling, like He was there rubbing my back and whispering to me that everything was fine.
One of the most inspiring sketches I've ever seen was a bumper sticker on facebook of a college girl studying one of her books. And Jesus was behind her with His hand on her shoulder and at the top it said, "With you always." That's how it feels when I have those moments. I feel like He's right there with me, putting His hand on me, and giving me His love and comfort.
When I sleep, I have a body pillow that I cuddle with. I got off the phone this morning/last night and kinda rolled towards it, just draping my arm around. Right after falling asleep, or maybe right before, I had this dream where He was there, with a hand on my back to give comfort. And that the body pillow was suddenly David and I was kind of transferring that comfort as well. It was very... powerful.
