My dream about Meriah

The night Crissy was in labor I couldn't sleep. I was restless and woke every hour praying fervently. I had a sense of anxiety and concern that I couldn't explain. I dreamed several dreams about both Crissy and Meriah, but when I woke up I could only remember one of them.

In my dream I walked into my parent's house where Crissy had been laboring. She was on the couch and her new baby was not lying in her arms, but at the other end of the couch. I was concerned and couldn't understand why they were apart and she wasn't holding her new baby. Then the dream flashed forward and I re-entered the room. Crissy was now lying on the other side of the couch where the baby was. She had the baby in her arms and was nursing her. I felt such relief and joy to see them together, and then I awoke.

This dream was a comfort to me during the dark time when we didn't know if Meriah would live. Christopher also had a clear impression from God "this child will live" as we drove to the hospital the day she was born. Jade was given the words, "she will yet live" repeatedly on the Friday when the doctors seemed to have no hope. While it was certainly easy to doubt, these words gave us hope and a promise to hold on to.

It is so amazing to now see that promise fulfilled.

It's inspiring that you mentioned your dream.  I had a dream as well, but was hesitant to share it.  The day that Meriah was born, Marti told me that things were not going well.  During our staff meeting, we got news that Meriah was flown to UVA and they were not expecting her to live.  I came home and prayed fervently to God.  I asked Him to intervene and save Meriah.  I prayed constantly throughout the night.  During the latter part of the night, I also had a dream about Crissy.  I dreamed that she had just delivered and the doctors took Meriah away saying she was not breathing.  Meriah was hooked up to all sorts of medical machines.  Minutes later, I saw Crissy and Adam holding Meriah and celebrating the fact that she was breathing.  Crissy held her up in her arms and Meriah was smiling.  Adam and Crissy kept joyfully saying that she was breathing.  I held on to that dream throughout the uncertainty.  God is amazing!!!

Wow!  I can't help but wonder why God saw fit to give so many of us these little hints of the future to come; but it is encouraging to see how and that God does speak to us.  I wonder how many others will come forward.
