Father, thank you for trusting me and using me as a conduit to lift up

your mighty name for such a time as this!

Brynda Jessie Thomas Lalonde

You are my one and only sister! You were the first one that noticed

something special about my dreams (many years ago) and encouraged me

to continue to write them down. Know this: We will forever love you and

will miss you dearly.

Rest in Him!

And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

—John 12:32 (KJV)

God’s elect …

A mind to serve! A heart to serve!

God has given Elder Carolyn nuggets and personal lessons to share with the masses, to encourage, being a wind, to provoke, and to stir them in the gift of dreams and prophecy. Even the process and the extraordinary journey that God has taken Carolyn on to accomplish His Word have been provoking. This book of revelation will bless you today and forevermore.

— Elder Pamela Hawkins

I met the writer Carolyn Johnson a few years ago, when I learned she was an elder. It was then that I realized the special anointing she had on her life. We have shared our dreams on several occasions and she has answered so many questions to the dreams that I have shared with her. Elder Carolyn is uniquely gifted in helping to interpret dreams and provide a deeper, more spiritual translation and understanding of dreams. After reading an excerpt from her book, I am even more inspired and anticipate to read more to see how her book Snapshots of the Dreams You Dream will enrich my life and yours.

I present to you: SNAPSHOTS! … of the Dreams You Dream!

The appointed time has come to share the things that God has shown me! This book of dreams and visions is only a snippet, a very small piece (snapshot) of a much bigger picture. It is also what God has imparted and entrusted to me—such as I have I give unto thee!

⁶ Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none;

but such as I have give I thee (Acts 3:6, King James Version)

My prayer is that something in this compilation of God-given messages and revelations will truly bless you. Every message may not be your message, but there will be that one! One that will inspire you! One that will move you! One that will challenge and provoke you! One that will ultimately change your perspective and impact your life! See if you can find -you- in the various messages and revelations!

As you begin to read and embark upon this dream journey, I pray that the Lord will enlighten you and
