\nDream 3-24-17<\/p>\n

I am over in Europe but can\u2019t tour around because I can\u2019t find my wallet which holds my ID, credit cards and was heavy with change. I was discouraged about losing it as recently I had had trouble with companies trying to take advantage of me and stack up fraudulent charges on my credit card. I felt I might as well give up on having any credit. Next I went into a hotel room where Henri Nouwen had been residing. He left the room as I entered. There was meat and fruit and lots of food in his room. He had been reclining in a bed raised 3\/4 of the way like convalescing or writing. I found my wallet with my ID there under his bed. I was so glad to find it and could go explore Europe now.<\/p>\n

Interpretation:
\nHenri Nouwen wrote the passage in the blog below about retrieving your true self. It spoke of rejoining a part of you which was shut down or abandoned in your youth to feel safe and whole with yourself again, regaining the joy of who you were made to be.<\/p>\n

I am over in Europe but can\u2019t tour around because I can\u2019t find my wallet which holds my ID, credit cards and was heavy with change.<\/p>\n

Unable to tour Europe-could not go any further without my ID and credit cards in tact
\nID-lost or stolen, identity theft -lost for awhile but being restored
\ngive up on getting any credit for this journey- taken advantage of, misunderstood, fraudulent charges to my account, opposition to my cause
\nHold on your reward is with Me and recompense is coming! (Is. 50:7-8)
\nmy wallet heavy with change- transformation coming<\/p>\n

There was meat and fruit and lots of food in Henri\u2019s room. He had been reclining in a bed raised 3\/4 of the way like convalescing or writing<\/p>\n

There will be meat and fruit from your work and food to give out to others.
\nRest and journaling will bring results<\/p>\n

I found my wallet with my ID there under his bed. I was so glad to find it and could go explore Europe now<\/p>\n

recovered my wallet under Henri Nouwen\u2019s bed-found in a place of rest, cease striving, trust God to regain your sense of being and identity in Him
\nID, true self again-Henri was a broken, wounded man made whole again to help others and give out what he learned<\/p>\n

could now explore Europe-widen your horizons, gain new territory
\nTrust God. He has much food and fruit to give out through you from a place of resting in Him. Your reward is with Him, recompense is coming!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
