Stay Close to the Coach!

Recently had a significant dream that has continued to resonate in my spirit as a word from the Lord.

In the dream, I was at a large school and there was going to be a big game soon.  There was lots of activity with people getting ready for the game.  The Coach of the school walked up and told me to stick with him and he would take care of me.  I followed Coach everywhere he went as he was prepping for the game, but after awhile I realized that I was naked.  Coach told me not to worry about it as he would get me some clothes soon enough, just stay with him and he would take care of it.


After awhile I just couldn't stand being naked anymore so I left the coach to go find some clothes.  I did find some clothes, but after putting them on I couldn't find the coach again.  He had gone back to the locker rooms where the players were and nobody was allowed back there unless you were with the coach.


It dawned on me that I didn't know if I would even be able to get into the game now as the Coach was my ticket in.  I also became aware the the clothes that Coach was going to give me were playing jerseys and that I very well could have been one of the players of this great game that was about to happen.

Since having this dream I can't tell you how many times I've prayed the prayer, "Coach, I'm staying with you!"  There are numerous times when I start to feel exposed and uncomfortable because I don't know exactly how things are going to pay out.  It is when I start considering how I'm going to take care of myself that I remember this dream and again choose the life of faith by staying with Coach.

He is a good Coach and has things in store for us that are better than we can imagine.  He might even have a starring role on his Dream Team for those that are willing to persevere and stay with him!
