Flood and food... stranded!💦🍞😱

Date: 3/3/2018

There were a number of aspects to this dream, but the one that struck me the most was to do with this flood. I was making my way along this corridor, it seemed to be like the corridor of a school, or hospital, there were quite few people trying to make their along it, and as we went along and sort of upwards, I became aware of walking through water, I was on the phone to mum at the same time and saying, gosh, the water is up to my neck. And she was worried of course. And there were some sort of officials saying go back, go back, and I wanted to say but surely if we keep going uphill there will be less water, though obviously it was getting dangerous. Everyone had to go back, and I found myself with various different people in a building that was a little like a garden centre. There was a woman who had lots of art stuff out, and I was looking at her paintings, they were very good. There didn’t seem to be particular concern that we might get flooded, though we didn’t seem to be higher up or anything, but it was dry. The thing was, this place we were in was filled with people, we were obviously all stranded there. I was becoming friendly with this woman who had all her paintings out, there are other people who I was talking to and that was lovely. But then it became clear that the issue was, we need to eat. I was concerned, how are we going to get all these people fed, what are they going to do. They seem to be trouble that might be ahead. But at the moment it was okay. I do remember meeting with mum at some point, and I was worried about her being so old and would she survive. Then somebody was passing out food, and I was overjoyed to discover some gluten-free things have been put next to me, I took two of the packs and gave the other to somebody saying please make sure this goes to someone who needs it. As I took the two packs I did think, am I being greedy here? And also I was filled with emotion at everything that had been happening (and so touched by the provision) and found myself in tears and being held by someone as I wept. I think I was probably a bit more awake after that but I was pondering on it, and thinking what would really happen in a situation like that? What would people be like? And if Jesus was there he would feed us all. And could we as Christians take that up and pray for him to feed us? 🤔This dream is partly I’m sure because of the situation with the snow, and motorists being stranded and having to be taken into hotels or churches etc overnight! But also there’s a genuine feeling of how vulnerable we really are, and on a knife edge really... we think we are sorted and safe and in control but just a small thing knocks it all apart. We need to rely on God. I need to be more in touch with him day by day and not distracted by my own stuff.
