Dream ~ Jesus and God

Last night I had a nightmare. This is rare, but I used to have the same one every night for about three years.

I had been very hurt by someone, so much that I had to leave the relationship before its negativity destroyed me.

Women don't seem to understand just how much their words affect the men that love them. No matter how strong a man is, how confident and secure he is, when he loves a woman, her words have a great affect on him.

The entire world can ignore him, criticize him or even come after him in attack, and he stands strong. But the words coming from the lips of the woman he loves can elevate him to the best of himself........or tear him down and break him apart.

In a healthy, interdependent (not codependent) relationship, she is his world. She is the one that matters. Besides to himself, how he matters to her is what matters most.

Just as men don't have to act macho to feel deserving of attracting a woman's love, women don't have to be "witches" to show they won't put up with disrespect and dishonor. A heart filled with self-love speaks this loudly enough.

I had a vision sweep through my head of a woman playfully yet purposefully letting me know she wanted her time by telling me as I got out of bed one night in the future, "You don't belong to the world. You belong to me. Now get back here."

I like the scene from 300, where the wife of Leonitis tells him to ask himself what a free man would do, especially this line: "There's only one woman's words that should affect the mood of my husband....those are mine."
