chit chat that day
lilmama:
Ok so last night one of my worst fears came to pass. I have in the past been awakened to the sound of kids crying outside. You can't imagine how scary it is, to think your children are for some reason outside, and crying in the middle of the night. My first thought is always that they were sleep walking, my boys sleep very hard. But, when I would get up to investigate, they would always be inside safe and sound. So I can't explain what I was hearing, must've been a dream.
Last night however, Jon and I were watching a movie and it was about 11:30. All of a sudden, Caleb (my 8 yr. old) comes out, looks right at us, unlocks the front door and walks out! He was totally sleep walking. Jon went out to follow him and he was just walking off with no idea what he was doing.
Needless to say we are headed to home depot today to put chain locks on the doors, or deadbolts. I still can't believe that actually happened, or what could have been if Jon and I had been sleeping.
Do any of you have sleep-walkers and solutions that have worked for you????

I feel a fierce protectiveness over this family. From heaven's perspective, very clear boundaries, established by Him, have been set up around them. There is an invitation here too- Come and know these borders intimately, so that when an assault comes, your hearts will be steady, not questioning, but KNOWING the difference: an attack on what God has called yours vs. a simple circumstance. When the attacks happen, you will not be sent reeling, you will simply reclaim the boundary in whatever way he is showing you will bring your victory. Feel the Lion's roar over you. The shaking sound will be your enemy.
Wild! ...I also heard the phrase- "Dominion over DNA," perhaps related to healing of birth defects and DNA mutation related diseases. I even see people with severe alcoholism brought into the family's path, believing in their own genetic predisposition toward the disease, and the truth of these ones flowing out of them in a way that strips those people of blindness and exposes both truth and the grace to choose truth.
I also feel that one or maybe both parents are in a season of study. Anything that interests you at all, study it. Gather information and know that from this practice, certain things will be planted in you that you will grow and use later.
Blessings on you!
