I had a dream last night where I was in a foreign country cluthing a baby tight to my chest. I was saying "teneste" which in my dream meant "mine." In my dream, I wondered if the word was spelled with an "a," but I remember dreaming exactly how it was spelled. Then I dreamt that the baby needed a diaper change and I told the baby to keep its' pee in the diaper. Immediately after that Evan woke me up because he had wet the bed. I changed his sheets and wrote the word and what I thought it meant "mine" on a piece of paper by my bed. This afternoon I typed "teneste" into Google and found that it is an Italian verb meaning "hold, keep." As an adverb it means "tenderly, lovingly." I studied Italian for a semester in college, but I don't remember any of it. I don't remember if we even learned the verb for "hold." I asked God if the dream was from him, because it was kind of a scary dream where men were trying to get me, but I was clutching on to this baby, saying "mine." God showed me that the dream WAS from Him and that He keeps me and holds me tenderly and lovingly. The intense feelings that I have as a mother clutching my baby was the best way for Him to show me His love for me in a dream! God knows my love language and spoke to me in Italian with a word that I would have to look up its' meaning!

Wow! I am so glad you shared what the Lord gave you. How wonderful that the Father chooses to reveal himself in special ways to his children.
We miss all of you sooooo much! Escape the floods and come see us soon!
Love the pics. Sophie says Evan has his socks off. We especially loved the pics of the brothers on the couch.
