Hello Doves! I am here daily, feeding on the Word and the fellowship that we have among us - - thanks to each of you for your gifts and giftings! What a wonderful blessing it is to see the different parts of the body come together here in Christ Jesus, our Lord. (Thank you, John Tng!)
Father God, please help each of us take our places so that we may be made complete and whole, One in You.
I had thought to share my dream with you Doves soon after it occurred, after Sandy’s post, and again just a few days ago, when Rene had posted, asking Sandy the date of her friend’s dream. My best intentions often fade into forgetfulness, as stuff of earth competes for the allegiance I owe only to the Giver of all good things (as Rich Mullins once wrote). The Lord is working on this in me.
Today’s (2/27) posting by Diana Schroeder, The Alpha and Omega, (http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/feb2008/dianas227.htm) was the Spirit’s fourth prompting AND the one and the only association I had made with my dream thus far - - I had received and read this exact post in an email the night before my dream - - giving it a little thought, but not near the thought that I give most posts here at 5Doves!
Dream: I was in my home when I saw/heard what reminded me (like Sandy’s friend) of an old-type photographer’s flash - - it seemed like I heard an audible “pop” and saw a very bright flash of light. Above me, I heard rolling thunder and I wondered if the sky was appearing to be rolled up like a scroll and if this was indeed, the rapture. I noticed that some of the light bulbs in my master bath had burst and some had not. I looked out my window blinds and saw lots of blue Christmas lights hanging down (not the norm even at Christmas), but they were brighter and more blue than I have ever seen before, almost like they were super-charged/glowing. As I walked back toward my children’s rooms, I noticed that some lights worked and others did not. In my son’s room, I found my daughter instead of him. She was sleeping and I woke her up saying “You need to get up now, I’m not sure how long the electricity is going to work.” I then walked back into our living area. I knew that I knew something had significantly changed, but also, that we were still intact and present, almost like I was surprised that we were still in physical form. I was actually feeling like I was in a state of marvel that I clearly did not understand.
That’s it. Much ado about nothing, perhaps, but at least, I am finally obedient, which we can all agree is better late, than never.
A glimpse here, a glimpse there … your parts, my part … the Lord God's revealing in His divine timing.
