A God Idea!

Have you ever had an encounter during your sleep?  No, I don't mean your husband spooning you unexpectedly....lol.  I mean a Divine encounter.  Now, I've had meaningful dreams, but I can only remember one other time when I knew Something Greater transmitted a creative idea to me.  It was when I was a young mother and the Minister of Music at my church.  Our praise team was in a flow of creative energy where the members were all writing original music.  It was a glorious time, one that has not since been duplicated for me musically.  Well, it was during this time that, while asleep, I heard an up tempo song being sung by a choir.  I heard the lyrics, the arrangements, the vocal parts, everything!  I later titled it "Rejoice."  It had a vibe like Barry White's Love Theme.  I can still remember it to this day:

Rejoice
Rejoice
Rejoice
Rejoice

The Lord is good
He's wonderful
Holy is His Name
The Lord is marvelous
Filled with splendor
Holy is His Name 

Different from dreams where you have images and scenes, this was a sound.  No images.  Nothing preceded it or followed it.  No choir director.  No robed singers.  None of that.  Just the song in my head while I slept. 

This encounter was the same.  I knew I was asleep.  I was very aware of that.  Yet, I heard a new idea.  I'm not going to put it all out there as it is being developed, and just as important, timing is critical.  But I will say that it was a God-idea.  I had not even conceived doing something like this and I, with baited anticipation, await the time when I will implement it.  In the meantime, I am even more certain that I'm smack dab in the center of where I am purposed to be.  Creativity and joy are always byproducts.
