Not a good sign
Kasia January 28th, 2008
I had my first wedding-related bad dream last night. Mind you, the wedding is just under a year off - 362 days according to theknot.com. But I already had my first bad dream. I hesitate to call it a nightmare, because I think that connotes something a little more…intense and terrifying?…but I did wake up in a cold sweat, so maybe that counts as one after all.
I dreamed that suddenly the wedding day was upon us - I didn’t even realize it - and so we ended up at the wedding with NONE of my stuff. We couldn’t find my dress, which had been sent for alterations, so TBS decided to go back to my house to see if it had been delivered there after the alterations. While she was gone, I decided to look around, and lo and behold, there it was! But now I had no maid of honor (as she was off looking for the dress), and my hair was undone (since this had snuck up on us, she had offered to French braid it), AND, to top it off, the dress was FAR TOO LONG and I had NO SHOES! So there I stood, waiting for my sister to get back and French braid my hair, in a dress that was four to six inches on the floor, grumbling because the shop was supposed to do my alterations in time for me to try the dress on before the wedding.
It’s gonna be a long year…
“Do not be afraid for I am with you…”
Just remember, God asked Moses to *take off* his sandals, because he was on holy ground. So, I think it would be perfectly fine to walk down the aisle in your bare feet, which would make it easier if you were walking in a dress that is 6-8 inches too long. And you could just comb your hair nicely, and not worry about the French braiding. After all, the important part is the covenant you are about to enter into, and not the physical trappings, right?
So, don’t worry. There is nothing that will happen that God will not give you the grace to deal with.
*hugs*
Grin. I need you to talk me through my dreams, Jaibee…
Any time!
Although, I think, now that you mentioned it, I’ll post about my bad dream on my blog now…. 
Hey there,
I was thinking I would just leave a little message of encouragement until I read Jaibee’s comments - PROFOUND! and everyone knows profound trumps warm-fuzzy encouragement. (Jaibee you are so DEEP and I am in awe of your insights, come to the shallow end once in awhile so we can say hi, okay?)
It’s a simple matter of you needing to get some of the big stuff to fall into place, once you have that foundation the rest won’t seem as impossible and worrisome.
Kasia - you know that the TBS and I would NEVER let those things happen, we’ve got your back, your braids…and the shoes too! Your brain is just working overtime - I know it’s a stretch to imagine that but work with me
At least you had your wedding dress. You could have had Eve’s….
You’re going to be fine! That nasty old dream was just showing you how unimportant all that stuff is. It’s all about you, the Canuck and God. Everything else is icing.
