He Answers My Nightmare Plea(s)

I'm awake, tireder than a woman ought to be, and yet He surges in me!  In weakness, His Strength I realize.  The mountain stands, unmoved, I in it's shadow, looking up, His glory shine highlighting contours of my admiring face.  Before this mountain -- this majestic obstacle -- I stand.  I hear Him on echoing wind, inviting from unseen storehouses of ice and mountain making wisdom, "CLIMB".  "Have fun in this challenge I've put here before and for you.  Consider the BEAUTY here, now.  All of it."

I woke from a nightmare - fending off a vicious dog, my arm clenched in bloody jaws, my heart to defend others who were with me, pounding.  I shook off sleep to my own weak scream, "HELP!"  And then, unable to go back to sleep, God took me video by video, picture by picture, into a more comprehensive view of my own story.  It wasn't just the belly full of Mexican food and Coke Zero that had me up for hours, but the night voice of My Savior -- sweet.  I penned the above invitation in my journal after watching Icespecter's  video posted below https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVt7WAyQSYU.  (I wish there were not a four-letter word in the video, but to be real, I might have been tempted myself, and so for the value of all God spoke to me through it, I have included it).

I wondered what Icespectre meant -- if it was really a word.  I looked up spectre and it means:
 
1:  a visible disembodied spirit :  ghost, phantom; apparition
2:  something that haunts or perturbs the mind
3:  something widely feared as a possible unpleasant or dangerous occurrence. (a threat or menace)

And I pondered on the mountain range before me!!
