"Amanda,
WOW!!"
Hi Amanda,
That is truly something. Just a few days ago, it was between 11pm
to 12am, I did hear my name being called. I got out of bed and
walked over to the top of the stairs to listen as the voice was similar
to my friend who is downstairs. I went back to bed and nothing
more happened, but, it has been many years since I have heard my name
being called.
But, last night I had an unusual dream. I dreamt that I was out
in the wilderness in the lower mountain range somewhere. From
looking around me, I must have been around the 3,000 ft level as there
were some grass as well as many trees, probably pine.
I was dressed well for survival and had prepared for this to occur but
looking around there were other believers who only had the clothes on
their backs and were trying to stay warm. They had some blankets,
but no one but me had camping/backpacking gear.
These folks had banded together for support and a means to
survive. The first night they slept out under the stars huddled
together wrapped in their blankets. I had my sleeping bag and my
one person tent. I had cooking gear and other camping equipment
to share. I had asked one man about why he was wearing what he
had as he was dressed business/casual, anotherwords, dockers slacks,
dress shoes and dress shirt with a nice dress sweater (orange).
He said he had no time to get out and that was what he was wearing.
The next morning we had located shelter, a home that had been
vacant. People were claiming their couches, recliners or cots as
there were no beds there. They had picked a leadership team and
designated a leader out of that team. I was not the leader, but I
was more of a spectator and friend to the group. Next thing
I know, a woman and her "crew" from the town below came up were we were
and began yelling at us to get out of there, not only out of the house
but completely away from the region.
The group of Christians looked perplexed and didn't respond to
her. She just stomped away and got back into her car and drove
away with her crew of people following her in their cars. But,
her wallet had fallen out of her bag. In it was a whole lot of
money and credit cards that could have been used.
The Christians looked at it as it laid on the ground. They
refused to even touch it. I told them I felt it needed to be
returned to the woman but they felt it too dangerous to make the trek
down the mountains into the town to return the item. They walked
away, but, I just felt it was our Christian duty to be like Christ and
return the item as someone else could show up and take it away.
So, after deliberating with my Christian friends, I made the trek down
returning the item. I knocked on her door and she was astonished
that I would come into what would be considered dangerous for
Christians. She did yell at me but did take the wallet from me
and I left to return back to my friends. And then I woke up.
I don't know if and what the Lord was speaking to me about.
