15 First Encounter

Dear Jesus,

Last night’s dream stuck to my mind just as a magnet sticks to iron. 

I remember that during my quest for you, Holy Spirit, I read in the book of prophet Joel the promise you made that in the last days when you are outpoured upon all flesh, the young men and handmaidens will see visions and dream dreams. 

Back in my old life, I recall having terrifying nightmares. 

I don’t really remember what they were about but I usually awoke with tremors and sweat. 

At times, I’d cry out in fear when the dreams would seem so real and even the dark shadows would seem as if ready to pounce on me. Dad and Mom would most times come to cuddle me and pray with me and sing me lullabies to sleep.

Last night was… how should I put it? Pleasantly different.
