Recently I had another light come on for me. An "ahah" moment. It was kind of amazing for me. I have always believed the scriptures and often seen the truth in them. They have helped me understand things or simply help keep my life out of utter chaos. But this time, two Sundays ago, in Sunday School class it was just what I needed.
To back things up almost 3 years ago I had this dream. I had this dream THREE times. Each time it was the same but with a little more. When that happens I figure it is something I should take a little more seriously. It constantly weighed on my mind and I had my feelings of what I thought it probably meant. Actually, I think I new exactly what it meant but I just didn't want to admit it. However, there were some things that I didn't fully understand in the dream. I'm not always great with symbolism. But it was enough for me to get the hint and take care of the issue.
Then in this Sunday School class (that I almost missed because I was trying to get Marshall to sleep) about the last 15 minutes they were discussing Acts 20 in the New Testament. A key word the teacher was discussing triggered my dream back into my mind. It answered what I didn't understand about my dream. It was like. . ."OMGoodness, I had no idea. I know what this means." Sure I had taken care of the problem but now I know what the Lord was really trying to tell me. I felt kind of foolish not knowing the New Testament as I should. I guess if I would read and study it more often the Lord could have helped me better understand.
I am so grateful for this experience. It strengthened me in knowing that there is a God and He does know me. He doesn't want me to go astray and will warn me at all opportunity. The scriptures really are here to help me and everyone. They aren't just something to read. Over and over in my mind I have thought that if I had known the Bible better I might have understood the warning and acted faster. I might not have even had to have the dream but once. Just a "tender mercy" as my mother-in-law would say. No doubt. I'm so glad I didn't miss all of that class. Just think what I would have really missed.
