Dreams and Snakes

The story that I am about to tell you is one of the biggest stories of my life. I will blog about it for the next few days...

Several months ago (Nov. 16th to be exact), I had a dream that Brock and I were at a conference of some sort. We left the conference building and went to a city. (I didn't know what city it was.) As we walked out onto the street of the city, I saw a snake on the sidewalk. I knew that it was venomous because it had a triangular head. Brock threw a rock at it, and it came after me. I walked a little way and stopped. At that moment, I looked up and there were snakes all around me looking at me. The snakes were everywhere, surrounding us. At that moment, I knew that we were in danger.

Then, I woke up with an eerie feeling. I thought that this was a strange dream because it wasn't a typical dream for me. Plus, I hadn't seen anything about snakes on tv or anything in the last 24 hours. Here's where it gets weird. Brock had the same dream on the same night.

There had to be some significance to these dreams. Was the Lord warning us about something? If this was the case, the dream stopped right there. We didn't know how or if we were going to get out of this danger. For the next several days and months, we began to pray for protection from whatever was going to happen...
