"BEEP!! BEEP!! BEEP!! BEEP!!....."

"BEEP!! BEEP!! BEEP!! BEEP!! BEEP!! BEEP!! BEEP!! BEEP!! BEEP!! BEEP!!"  I remember hearing that most irritating, shrill "emergency" call of my alarm clock at a crucial point in the dream I was soooo enjoying.  I don't know if it were me in the dream, or just me who sighed a sigh of "UGH"ness.....

Still I climbed out of my comfyness...after controlling myself as I "carefully" hit the "dismiss" button on my phone...it's my faithful alarm..needed to keep it for the next day.  I wanted to reset my alarm, so I could hopefully go back to that specific dream....but I knew if I did, I would be late....and...I probably wouldn't have that dream again....or who knows?

But, as much as I loved the dream I was having....I so much prefer being wide awake...taking life however it comes at me.....even if there are trials...Because it's living LIFE, and I praise God for this LIFE He's given me....given each one of us.

In the same way....there are times I have heard the Holy Spirit's Alarm Clock going off.....right when I'm in the middle of a dream......everything is going well...I know how to do what I'm doing.....but there's something that my Father wants me to wake up and do.....calling me to the Job He has for me....no...it does no good just laying in bed....
