On life and dreams

Well, my dreams have done it again. I'll get to it in a sec - first some background info. 

It's no secret that I really want to have a little girl. My husband and I have talked a lot about the idea, but have never committed to it due to the fact we know full well if we try for another child - a girl is in no way guaranteed. Anyway, I've still pretty much held on to the idea, prayed about it and it just hasn't gone away. I've always allowed myself time to entertain the name game - What will her name be? And there is one name I've always loved so I thought for sure her name would have to be it. Right? Why wouldn't it be the one name I think is so utterly cute and unique...Haha
One night though I had a dream about having a little girl, but in my dream her first name wasn't what I had originally thought it to be. It really wasn't even a name that I would think of or even consider if not for the dream. Abigail - making her first and middle name ~ Abigail Oakley. :D Don't you love it? I do. So from that point on I kind of insisted to myself that if I ever had a girl her name would have to be Abigail Oakley. What I didn't think of til days later (possibly weeks later) is wondering if there was an Abigail in the Bible. So of course, I search her name and find a story all about the coolness of Abigail, the beautiful and smart woman in the Old Test. I read her story and I'm not really sure if dreams ever really do mean anything - I know a lot of people say they don't. In my lifetime though, I've had a couple dreams that have really changed my life or perspective on things in my life.. Even if it does mean something - I'm not sure quite what because it could be a number of things. Or even if it doesn't - I think it's kind of cool how it came to me and how the two names seem to be really pretty together. Maybe God just wants her name to be Abigail Oakley - I don't know, but this made my desire to have a little girl even more like real or maybe, possibly God will actually give me my little girl. I'll be excited to find out - especially since Cj seems to be leaning more and more in the same direction.

That's my post for today ~ :)
