So sometimes in the middle of the night, I will wake up and jot something down that I just dreamt about. It's a way to remind myself later what I was dreaming of and to wonder if it actually means something important or not. Apparently I did this last night, and must have been half asleep because I don't really remember doing it. I made a new text in my phone and wrote "Spend more time transforming it than harvesting it". I have no clue what I was dreaming about... but am quite interested in what this means and what it pertains to. The feeling I'm getting is that it has something to do with a seed. And that it takes more time to transform it into the final product than it does to just harvest it and "be done with it" so to speak.
I feel as if there is a lesson to be learned in this. If I evaluate my life, I see that I spend my time thinking/worrying about the end result. The harvest, I guess you could say. But according to this advice from my dream, there should be more time spent transforming "it"/me and less time focusing on the actual harvest, when everything comes full circle, and feels accomplished or finished (for the time being).
I hope the above isn't just some crazy rambling and that it actually makes sense, but what I'm taking away from this is that I need to enjoy "now", the present. This is a time of transforming and growing and that is where most of the time and importance lies. I need to accept this idea and learn to be content in this season of change as I grow closer to the Lord and more identical to who Jesus was as a person. I need to stop looking ahead to the end. What will I be doing with my life? Who will I marry? What will my kids be like? Will I be satisifed and happy with the life/path I choose? These things, they're not important. They are, but I need to stop worrying and wondering about them. And instead choose to be fully present in the here and now and enjoy this growing and changing process that God is taking me through.
