"Denise's purse dream"



Over 10 years ago I had a similar dream of losing my purse and all identification.  Through a series of events, things were gradually taken from me until I ended up with nothing at all.  Nice house, cars, personal effects all gone, family scattered and finally purse snatched so I even lacked any ID at all.  All gone.  This took a few years to finally sweep me clean of any evidence I was a human on the planet.  During this very distressing time there were dreams of being restored, getting back all that was stolen from me and much more. I still am not fully restored, but am much better off and am watching each day for restitution to commence.  It's a trial, just like Job's.  Shall we curse God and die?  I'd always thought being a Christian American would somehow make my Christian walk fluffier and candy coated. After all, Job was old testament stuff and we have a much better covenant, right?  Job was the richest man of his day but God had no problem stripping him of everything. They say ten is the number of completion. I don't recall exactly when I had my dream but in November it will be exactly 7 years since I walked down the street with only the clothes on my back.  Perhaps a tsunami, which many have dreamed of will be the impetus that causes you, and/or others to lose the possessions that we often feel frame our lives.  Let me tell you, if this happens to you, you can expect many emotions; depression, anger, bitterness, bewilderment.  Ever get mad at God?  I never did until I felt He'd thrown me into the garbage can and walked away.  I suspect we all have something to pay, all differing amounts depending on where we've been, done and what is planned for us.  Always remember to repent and plea the blood of Jesus over your sin after a praying temper tantrum and accusing Jesus of forgetting about you, even if you have to repent every 10 minutes. Don't ask me how I know.  We are called to suffer with Jesus and the bible talks of "rejoicing" in the suffering.  I found that to be easier said than done.  A good prayer is, "may God's plan for me be fulfilled to completion and satan's plan cast into the pit.  Pray now for protection and provision for whatever is coming because we can't stop it.  No matter what it looks like, remember that Jesus loves you and will care for you.
