One of my recurring dreams is not being able to find a place where I need to be. In my dream, I’m wandering through a school, unable to find the next class on my schedule. Or I can’t find the room where I’m to take a test. Or my locker in halls lined with thousands of them. Sometimes I’m driving through a neighborhood and can’t find the house I’m scheduled to visit. Of course, I’ve only got a minute or two to find the right place. I always wake up before I reach my destination.
I experienced this in real life when I arrived for a bible class at a church on Thursday morning. I parked where other cars were parked and thought it would be easy to find my way to the location. But I only found locked doors and dark hallways.
Was this the right day? Was I at the right location? I brought up an email newsletter on my phone and confirmed the time and place.
Hmm. Let me try another entrance. I walked around checking door after door. No luck.
I drove around the other side of the building, parked in front, and went to the main front entrance. Surely they could help me. And the receptionist did. “Just follow me.” We wound our way through twisting hallways, past many doors and rooms, and finally arrived at the right spot. On my own I’d still be wandering those passageways!
It was just like my dreams. Except in real life, I found the place!
Waite for it...
