About this Story....

Welcome to "Caterpillars to Butterflies." This is a narrative of our faith journey and the incredible transformation God performed in our lives from 2007 to 2009. It is a story of God's unwavering faithfulness and what happens when we choose to trust Him, regardless of how circumstances appear. Through hardships, struggles, loss, and confusion, God revealed Himself to my husband, Tom, and me. We learned invaluable lessons about letting go of our own logic and understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6), surrendering our personal goals, and embracing His eternal purpose for our lives. Ultimately, this journey revealed His redeeming and transforming love for us. We hope our story inspires you to nurture your own faith and deepen your relationship with Him, trusting in His faithfulness no matter what challenges you face. May our journey from caterpillars to butterflies encourage you on your path.

Symbols and Searching

This morning, I decided to do a little research into some of the symbols from my dreams. One that stood out was bathrooms, since they’ve appeared in multiple dreams lately.

According to different sources, bathrooms in dreams symbolize:

  • A need for cleansing, purging, or elimination—letting go of things that no longer serve a purpose.
  • A period of self-renewal—getting rid of emotional burdens or anything weighing me down.
  • A call for emotional and psychological cleansing—a need to release old issues, thoughts, or feelings that hinder joy and freedom.

This was interesting, especially in light of everything I’ve been learning about the Church.

I’ve been seeing more and more how so much of what is done in churches today is not actually biblical. And I can’t ignore that my bathroom dreams have all taken place in corporate bathrooms.

Could this be a sign that God is leading me to remove myself from the “corporate” or “organized” model of church?

The symbolism was compelling… but nothing jumped out as an immediate revelation. So, for now, I’ll keep praying about it.

Tonight, Tom and I celebrated Good Friday with a time of praise and worship. Then, he read from the book of Hebrews—a fitting reflection on Christ’s sacrifice.

Tomorrow, I begin my fast—from both food and words.

That should be… interesting. 😊
