Talking about crowns in my sleep

Ok, so this might sound kinda crazy but I had the most amazing dream last night where I was sitting and talking with God about Riley & her future. I only remember bits and pieces of it now that I am awake but what I do remember is that it was a casual, relaxed conversation like talking with a friend and I was asking Him a bunch of questions (and I know this sounds silly) but the only question I can remember asking now was "Well, what about her being prom queen?" and He said "Those crowns are plastic, have you seen mine?" I so wish I could remember more of the dream! When I woke up this seemed like such an insignificant detail of such a powerful dream I was sad it was the only part I held on to but then I opened my Bible this morning to Isaiah 35 and this is what it says . . .

Isaiah 35

Joy of the Redeemed
1 The desert and the parched land will be glad;
the wilderness will rejoice and blossom.
Like the crocus, 2 it will burst into bloom;
it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy.
The glory of Lebanon will be given to it,
the splendor of Carmel and Sharon;
they will see the glory of the LORD,
the splendor of our God.

3 Strengthen the feeble hands,
steady the knees that give way;

4 say to those with fearful hearts,
"Be strong, do not fear;
your God will come,
he will come with vengeance;
with divine retribution
he will come to save you."

5 Then will the eyes of the blind be opened
and the ears of the deaf unstopped.

6 Then will the lame leap like a deer,
and the mute tongue shout for joy.
Water will gush forth in the wilderness
and streams in the desert.

7 The burning sand will become a pool,
the thirsty ground bubbling springs.
In the haunts where jackals once lay,
grass and reeds and papyrus will grow.

8 And a highway will be there;
it will be called the Way of Holiness.
The unclean will not journey on it;
it will be for those who walk in that Way;
wicked fools will not go about on it.

9 No lion will be there,
nor will any ferocious beast get up on it;
they will not be found there.
But only the redeemed will walk there,

10 and the ransomed of the LORD will return.
They will enter Zion with singing;
everlasting joy will crown their heads.
Gladness and joy will overtake them,
and sorrow and sighing will flee away.


. . . WOW!
