Going Slow with Dr. Low

Some of the Spiritual Life Coaching conversations I have with people involve their dreams, not just their hopes and ideas but their actual dreams they have in their sleep.  Whether it's the daydreamy thoughts we think about during the day or the actual dreams we have at night, these dreams, themes and ideas often point to things stirring in our hearts and minds.

Most people today ignore these hopes and dreams which is odd and unfortunate considering God often spoke through dreams in the Bible and answered people's future hopes and aspirations.  I believe He also does this today but, like many of the ways God speaks to us, we often miss it, ignore it or simple don't take the time to listen.

Slowing down, stopping, listening and paying attention to your day dreams and night night dreams can help you identify some things you may be longing for and God may be inviting you towards.  But usually these things don't jump out and scream at us - we do have to focus and pay attention.  So that thing, feeling, idea, person or recurring theme you keep dreaming about - take some time to pray about it and ask God to show you what He may be leading towards or leading you away from.  You may be pleasantly surprised how He leads and how He provides.
