Title: Bringing it to an end
Welcome to the next daily installment of this true story, which you can find posted here each afternoon until it comes to an end.
Chapter 109: Prayer Over Mysteries Of Dreams
For another 24 hours, off and on, I prayed over the reason that God had brought this person into my life in such a significant way that a dream was warranted. Several reasons were revealed to me. I suspect there were reasons that exist and were not revealed to me. The clearest of the reasons seemed to be this one: God had some lessons that He wanted to really drive home for me.
Chapter 110: Conclusion, Written, December 3, 2023
I had been given a big hug and kiss by God: a dream. It was not even one dream that spoke that message so loudly and clearly, but two. Two dreams said to me that He was watching and cared. Two dreams, premonitory in nature, offered me reassurance that the path was right. Two dreams were an exclamation mark to say, “Pay attention.” In the days ahead I would pray more over this pair of dreams. But for right now, my first Amtrak mission trip had come to an close and my debrief, which you are holding in your hands, has been written up.

This is a selection from my forthcoming book, “The Amtrak Vignettes.” A neat story began with the writing of “The Amtrak Vignettes” in October 2023. Every day until that story comes to an end, I intend to share a part of it here. It is a part of my faith journey as a Christian, a faith journey that has been deepened since the Ides of March 2020. Some of it gets pretty wild and nothing that a “reasonable” person would find himself in the midst of. Few will be scared off by it. Instead, many will grow deeper in their faith. I know that, because I know my readers well, and I know that few come here expecting me to give a milquetoast version of anything. Come here to be challenged. Stay here to have your life changed. That, I believe, is what will come of this work. You can support that work by signing up below.
