In a dream, my brother drove me to Texas from Colorado. I needed to make the trip and didn’t want to make the drive alone. I completed what I needed to do in Texas, then we started for home. About halfway through the return trip, he told me that he would not be able to take me the entire way, and he needed to return home himself. At the junction to continue straight or turn left, he dropped me off and headed a different direction towards his home. As I watched his car disappear in the horizon, I turned and could see a town and began to walk. It looked abandoned with no services, no hotel, no phone, no bus station, no airport. I wasn’t sure what I was going to do, but I began to walk towards the town.

Interpretation: Human help will only get me so far. Eventually, the helpers’ mission will conclude, and they return to their home. The rest of the way required me to work with God. I felt stranded, even a little abandoned, looking for the next person that could help me. But it wasn’t there. This was the way that the old lifestyle begins to close, and a new way of living opens. I needed to be in ready mode to accept that which God puts in place that leads to freedom. I did not know what awaited me, or how (or if) I would be going home. As I walked towards this town, I knew this part of the journey held a new future with God’s leading and would be what He required for the next phase of my Spiritual Journey.
