I've been angry at God for three years, ever since my dad died. I went to my mom's church today just to be with her. In the middle of the service a thought arrived so clearly it didn't feel like mine: "He's okay. And so will you be." I had to walk outside. It was the first time I've cried since the funeral.

I woke at 2:47am two nights ago with an urgent feeling about my dad. We don't speak often. I almost didn't call. He answered on the first ring — he'd been having chest pains for an hour and hadn't called anyone because he didn't want to bother us. He was admitted that morning. The doctors said it was good we caught it when we did.

I had set an alarm for 5am without knowing exactly why. Something had been pulling at me all week — a restlessness I could not name. I drove to the beach alone in the dark, before anyone else was there. I sat on the sand and watched the sky change. When the sun broke the horizon I felt something so large and so quiet that I did not have words for it in the moment and I am not sure I do now. It was not emotion, though I was moved. It was more like standing inside a fact — an enormous, luminous fact — that the world had just confirmed again. He is risen. I drove home and made breakfast and called my mother and told her I loved her. It was the most alive I have felt in years.

I lost my son two years ago. Easter has been the hardest Sunday of the year since then — all that talk of resurrection when what I feel is absence. This Palm Sunday I went to the early service alone, half-expecting to leave early. The pastor read the familiar words: "He is not here. He has risen." And something in me heard those words differently than I ever had. Not as a theological statement but as a personal one. As if spoken to me, about my son, about where he is. I did not stop grieving. But I left that service carrying something I had not walked in with. A small, stubborn, unreasonable hope.

I had been thinking about moving to another city for work for two years but could never commit. I was paralyzed by the decision. Then I had a dream — vivid, specific — in which I was living in a particular apartment with a red door and a courtyard with a magnolia tree. Three months after I finally moved to Charlotte, I found an apartment with a red door. When I stepped into the courtyard I stopped walking. Magnolia tree, center of the courtyard, exactly as I had dreamed it. I stood there for a long time. That apartment became the place where my life changed completely for the better.

Ten years ago I was a paralegal with no ministry background and no particular aspiration for one. During a period of extended fasting and prayer I had a detailed vision — I use that word carefully — of leading a women's group in a setting I did not recognize, speaking to women who had experienced trauma, specifically trafficking survivors. The vision was specific enough that I remembered details: the color of the walls, the shape of the windows, the faces of some of the women. I set it aside. Life continued. Seven years later I changed careers and began working for a nonprofit that serves trafficking survivors. During my first week I walked into the meeting room where the support group gathered. I stopped in the doorway. The walls were the color from the vision. The windows were the same shape. I have been leading that group for three years. I have seen faces I recognize from that vision ten years ago. I do not fully understand how this works. I know what I saw and I know what I walked into.

I was at a worship night at a church I had been attending for only a few months. I was not particularly engaged — I was tired, I had come mostly out of habit. During a quiet instrumental moment I closed my eyes and saw, with unusual clarity, a scene that felt less like imagination and more like observation. I saw myself in a classroom, standing at the front, and the students were adults in some kind of recovery program. I had no teaching background. I worked in insurance. The image stayed with me for weeks and I could not shake the sense that it was instructional rather than random. I looked into it. I found a certificate program in substance abuse counseling at a local community college. I enrolled. I finished the program eighteen months later and now co-facilitate a recovery group on Thursday evenings. I have sat with people in some of the darkest moments of their lives and I believe with my whole heart that I was shown that room before I ever walked into it.

I was adopted at birth and had spent thirty years with almost no information about my biological family. I had made peace with not knowing. Last year I had a recurring dream over the course of three weeks — the same woman, the same setting, a porch somewhere in the rural South. In the dream she was always looking toward the road. After the third dream I signed up for a genealogy DNA service, mostly as an impulse I could not explain. Within a month I had matched with a first cousin who was actively searching. My biological mother had been looking for me for fifteen years. She lived in a small town in rural Georgia. She had a front porch. It faced the road. I have met her now three times. The resemblance is startling and the connection is real and tender and still being built carefully. I do not know what to make of the dreams exactly. I know they moved me to act and the action changed my life.

Three days before Hurricane Helene made landfall I had a vivid dream — not the fragmented kind you forget at breakfast, but the kind that sits with you like a memory of something that actually happened. In the dream I saw my mother's house in the mountains east of Asheville with water rising around it. I saw her standing at the second-floor window. I woke at 3am and could not shake it. I called my mother first thing in the morning and told her what I had seen. She laughed it off — the forecast at that point was for moderate rain. I pressed her. I told her I felt strongly she needed to go stay with my sister in Charlotte before the weekend. She thought I was being dramatic but agreed, mostly to stop me worrying. You know what happened to those mountains. Her house sustained significant flood damage. The first floor was destroyed. If she had been there she would have been trapped. She calls me every few months just to say she still thinks about that phone call.

I am a geologist. I study rock, not scripture. Standing on that mountain at dawn I was undone by something I have no scientific category for.

Three nights running I dreamed of flood. On the fourth morning I moved my family to higher ground. That afternoon the river broke its banks for the first time in forty years.

Three nights in a row I dreamed about a woman crying alone in a park near my home. On the third day I went to that park and found a young woman sitting on the exact bench from my dream, weeping. She had just lost her job and was considering ending her life. We talked for hours. She is thriving today. God used my dreams to save her.
