A Mama Bear’s Instinct: 4:44 AM — A Message of Protection and Purpose

 A Mama Bear’s Instinct: 4:44 AM — A Message of Protection and Purpose

I had a dream last night that left me shaken and reflecting deeply.

In the dream, we were at our house — but we had built an addition, almost like we were making room for something new. I warned David and Miranda to stay inside because outside, there were animals… not just any animals, but a mother bear with five cubs, a tiger, and what looked like a wolf, all gathered in the front yard. I felt this overwhelming need to protect my family and keep our dogs safe, telling everyone to stay inside.

But then, David opened the back door and left it wide open. Suddenly, I heard the sound of a bear climbing up onto the porch. I rushed over and found myself face-to-face with this massive baby bear. Without thinking, I grabbed a towel and wrapped it around its neck, holding it back so it wouldn’t bite me. Even though it was just a cub, it felt huge and powerful. Somehow, we managed to guide it back outside and shut the door, watching as the animals stood by, almost like they were waiting for something. We couldn’t figure out why they were there — we hadn’t even left any food outside.

Then, in what felt like a completely different moment, I took Miranda into town to get a haircut. What happened next shook me to my core. The man cutting her hair was pressing up against her in a disgusting way, and when I looked in the mirror, I saw his reflection… but it wasn’t fully human. It was distorted, almost demonic. My mama bear instincts kicked in, and I turned on him, threatening to cut him to pieces if he didn’t stop. He had the audacity to say I made him uncomfortable, but I didn’t care — I wasn’t about to let him touch my child. After that, we left, and the dream ended with us struggling to find a parking spot at the park. I woke up at exactly 4:44 AM.

This dream wasn’t just random. I can feel its weight in my heart. The house, the animals, the danger, and my fight to protect my family all point to what I’m living through right now. My life is shifting — we’re making room for new beginnings with Miranda’s pregnancy, and I feel like I’m constantly on guard, watching over everyone and everything. The bear, the tiger, and the wolf feel like symbols of hidden dangers or looming challenges, while David leaving the door open reminds me that sometimes others don’t see the risks I see… and that can be frustrating.

That terrifying moment at the salon hit me hardest. Even though Miranda is grown, I still feel this fierce need to protect her from harm. That man represented not just a physical threat but maybe a spiritual one — the distorted reflection reminded me that evil often lurks beneath the surface, hidden until God reveals it.

And that time — 4:44 AM — it feels like a message. That number is often seen as a sign of divine protection and guidance. Even when life feels overwhelming, I believe God is watching over me and my family, reassuring me that I’m not alone in this fight.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if you’re feeling overwhelmed, protective, or like you’re carrying the weight of the world… you’re not alone. God sees your fight, and He is with you. 🕊️
