Day #108: Kameelputs, SA: I Dream of Dale

I ate peanut butter straight from the jar-lots of it. I slept for four hours during the day. I thought of God when I could.

I had a dream of Dale. He was kind, curious, and running in all sorts of directions without me. I only wanted him near and he was so preoccupied. I called his name and believed his word. Stephanie, an old friend, was there, as well, upset about a love between a man and a woman. I was gentle with her cynicism. I'm trying not to read into this dream, but I want that man close. To feel his arm draped over me in sleep, his warm breath on the back of my neck-the only comforts I'm ever going to need on this earth.

I sat quietly thinking of why I should hold on to us. One word came to me: LOVE. Combined with faith, I need nothing else. Thank you for salvation, Christ the only Lord. I chose love through you, because of you.
