I have written my experiences and excerpts from my
conversations with people round me. This time I want to share my personal
experience. I have had this in my dreams few days back. I have been trying to
pen this down for a while and unfortunately there have been many obstacles like
never before. This time I’ve decided that rain or shine, I’ll pen this down.
In
my dream, I was in a church with my mother sitting next to me and another girl
in her jeans to my other side. I haven’t spoken a word to her all the while she
was sitting next to me. The Father called out a name for a special song and the
girl next to me rose from her seat and sang a song while playing the flute.
After that, the girl started to speak. Ideally, she was giving a testimony. In
her own words-“ I was going abroad for further studies and I secured a seat in
one of the best colleges there I had to find a job to fund my expenses and one
of our acquaintances introduced me to someone from that place, who is a
resident and he assured me that he would help me secure a job once I landed
there. All said and done, my family and I were relieved that I would even get a
job in the foreign land. After landing, I was waiting for the man to show up so
that he could show me the job. The day he was supposed to meet me, I was
staring at the sky and along with me were few more people. The first plane that
landed, didn’t bring in the man I was supposed to meet. I was still staring at
the sky and the next plane too didn’t bring him. That’s when I realized that
the man promised few others like me to help them secure jobs and all of them
were waiting for him just like me. The man never turned up ever after”.
I
was wondering why the girl was thanking God if the man dumped her in a foreign
land. She continued, “It was God’s never ending support that helped me survive
there with a decent job and He helped me finish my studies and return to my
mother land safe. And I could clearly see the girl happy that she is back safe.
All of a sudden, in my dreams, I was reminded of the Bible verse that I read
the day before. “If you have raced with men on foot and they have
worn you out, how can you compete with horses?
I
shared this with many people wondering the meaning of this dream. No
one could give me a satisfactory interpretation. I was upset cos this was a
different dream than I had before and no one could interpret it for me. My mum
was watching me all the while me running from pillar to post for an
interpretation. She called me in the evening and she asked me to repeat my
dream. I repeated myself. She listened patiently.She interpreted it for me. In
her own words. “ You are running after something while God has something bigger
in store for you. And you will thank God for what He has given you. His plans
for you are bigger than your dreams for yourself. “ Beautifully true….
At
times in life we aim for something where in we are destined for bigger things.
Not realizing life’s destination is a bigger mistake than not realizing our
dreams.
