“dreams are the language of heaven”
“Dreams are the language of Heaven.” – a quote from our pastor at the 1 year anniversary of our church The entire sermon was on dreaming, and specifically the idea of finding a God-dream for your life and working towards it. I don’t really know why I found this true, but for a while I often struggled with relating dreaming and dreams to my faith (mostly throughout high school and college).
