I think I had a near-death experience last night without actually coming near death. Or I hope I didn't anyway.
Last night we got to bed very late, Elicia had gone out with some friends and I waited up for her watching late night tele - which is even worse over summer than normally, but that's another story. When we got to bed we talked for a while more then finally got to sleep about 3am. And no, that's not the near-death part...
I had this incredibly intense dream. I was walking through a tunnel that looked like the inside of a vein, and then I came out at the end into a thing that was like the inside of a lightbulb, with the light coming in from all around. God was on the outside of the bulb, and there was like two layers of skin that formed the bulb that stopped God from being inside it, even though the light shone in bright white. I pushed through the skins and I was with God. Everything was white, and I was so powerfully connected to God, I had my hands thrown up high and I was yelling "Praise God! Hallelujah!" at the top of my voice, jumping up in the air as I shouted with all the force I could muster, my total soul and being giving everything I had over to God, and feeling the worship of him in every part of me.
It didn't last for long but it was absolutely incredible, and I woke up and was sure I must have been yelling in my sleep, it was so powerful - but Elicia wasn't awake so I mustn't have. So what does that mean? I have no idea, it was strange but it was good, it felt great to be so totally in communion with God. Even writing it down I can feel the presence of God in me again. We went to church this morning for the first time in a month and it was great to be involved in purposeful church, I enjoyed it like I haven't in ages. Praise God! Hallelujah!
