Hello everyone, by now, you probably know me almost as well as Joseph and Jane on this forum website. Anyways getting to the nitty gritty of things, and it might as well start off with me! Hard to start off this area of topic, but might as well give you and idea of what happened to me, for the very first time.
This happened to me when I was younger in Grade 12! That's when one night the dream happened, and hopefully it writing this will give you and idea on what happened so far..more will come if you want to know more email me @ Sparrow8696@hotmail.com. And I will photocopy my detail accounts of each dream that I had that has meaning and connection with God itself. Don't laugh when you read this, cause it may seem bazaar just reading it off hand.
As usual, dreams are normally nothing special to me, but this one is particularily different from any normal dreams I would have. In the dream at the beginning, I was in a room full of my high school classmates; talking, laughing, joking around with others, etc. As I am trying to recall, it was a friend's party @ that time everyone was smiling and stuff like that. Then as suddenly as the dream started, it changed scenes. Everyone seems to disappear into thing air. No one was around except me and one particular person across the room. Dead silence fell & then the person spoke to me. When the person talked, I noticed that "he" resembled a good friend of mine from 'math' class. As 'he' talked, he called me a name that I couldn't quite grasp. "Lilious expedious" "Lilious expedious", he kept on repeating to me. Strangely @ first, I was not too positive if he was talking to me; I looked around me and couldn't see else around. So after a while, I seemed to figure out that the name 'he' was calling was directed to 'me' and no-one else. After about 2-3 minutes, 'he' gave me 'the stare' --the look where 'something is fishy' going on with that particular smile. Then he turn around and left.
So, that's how my dream ended. I was awakened by my alarm clock and so it could not be continued at that moment in time. But after meeting Joseph and Jane this year in August things have continued and 'the particular' person -- probably God-Father in Heaven -- has to do with it cause more dreams of him talking with me again and calling me by that name of his calling; is odder than anything else.
So, why do u think I decided to open up 'these' particular dreams and tell everyone about it, b/c i have a really strong feeling that part of my duties assigned by "him" and "him" alone, wants me to let others know about it, other than Joseph, Jane and somewhat of Jermyn (he only knows 2 part of it so far). Can't always keep things to yourself. It's not a good habit, and for sure.
In Purpose Driven Life, the book mention something important that we all Must all do as fellowship members and that is: In real fellowship people experience authenticity. Authentic fellowship is not superficial, surface -level chit chat. It is genuine, heart to heart, sometimes gut level, sharing. It happens when ppl gets honest about who they are and what is happening in their lives. They share their hurts, reveal their feelings, confess their failures, disclose their doubts, admit their fears, acknowledge their weaknesses, and ask for help and prayer. It is only as we become open about our lives that we experience real fellowship.
The bible says, "If we live in the light, as God is in the light, we can share fellowship with each other...If we say we have no sin, we are fooling ourselves." (1 John 1:7-8) But in the light, we bring them all out into the open and admit who we really are.
I truly believe that sharing this with everyone will give a better idea of who I am and a better understanding in why I decided to go with Christainity.
Well...I will leave it at this for now...questions or comments, I will be happy to take them all in.
God bless every single person here in fellowship and other places 'we' have not touch just yet!
Dorothy (will always pray at night for everyone's good health and best of luck in school and work!!)
