hummingbird-PCOS dream
11-3-08
This meditation of my heart was created around 4am before work. It's a two page spread in an old book about pioneer churches. I covered the pages with gesso and painted over it. Certain words are circled (as you will see in closeups) that have meaning. I remember doing a bit of "fingerpainting" with this one, my fingers tapped the page like the beating of hummingbird or angel wings.
I had a dream a few yrs. prior about holding a hummingbird in my hands. The little bird held on to my pointer finger and suddenly laid a huge pile of eggs in my hands. Some were broken, most were whole. Then she gave birth again, releasing afterbirth which covered the eggs. I had just stepped out of a dark room into bright sunshine when she landed in my hand.
I asked the Lord what the dream meant. I believe the hummingbird actually represents me resting in the hands of God. I battle with PCOS (polyscystic ovary syndrome). I don't release eggs properly, and my cycles are messed up. I have been unable to have children in my 11 yr. marriage. But this is a promise of what's to come....physical children, perhaps, and definitely spiritual fruitfulness. The eggs are covered in the blood of Jesus, an atonement. The eggs represent my art, creativity and other things the LORD wants to birth.
If you are struggling with barrenness, spiritually or physically, I encourage you reach out and grab the hem of his garment, the wings of His prayer shawl. He wants to touch you and heal your body.
