An odd dream

Last night I had an odd dream … I was riding in a car with a well-known evangelist (her car – a large car like a Lincoln, with a driver in the front seat, we were in the back seat) … we were talking about a computer program I wrote.

We arrived at our destination, and I helped her take pieces of an artificial Christmas tree out of the trunk and into a house of some sort (not mine, but much larger). Then all the sudden I was sitting in my living room with her, and once again I was trying to explain a part of this computer program to her. Then it ended.

It was odd because if I had time to spend with this person, I would certainly serve her (help her carry the tree pieces) … but the last thing I would do if I sat down with her on my couch is try to talk about my day job!

After I woke up, I was thinking “That was an odd dream, what are you trying to tell me, Lord?” and He reminded me of the story of Mary and Martha (Luke 10:38-42). Martha was busy making lunch, while Mary listened to Jesus. Making lunch is a good thing, but Jesus apparently didn’t ask her to do so.

It was a reminder about the importance of what I do with my free time, who I spend it with, and what I do during that time.
