Thought For The Week 35 Pt 1
“I was in a park, and I saw some kids playing up on a hill, so I walked down the path towards the hill. There was a pond on my left, and the hill on the right.
As I passed the pond, I saw 3 frogs sitting on 3 lily pads, and I walked past them as the path curved to the right and joined another path going the opposite direction, and leading up the hill on the right.
On the other side of that path was a drop, like the edge of a cliff. I went up the hill and was walking towards the kids, who were playing kickball with 3 balls.
The balls rolled in my direction, and a girl said to me, “Get those balls.” I told her I would get the first two balls, as they were not far from me, but the third ball had rolled past me and down the hill. I told her I would not get that one because it was too far away.
So I went to get the first two balls, and I threw those back to her. Then I went to the edge of the hill to see where the other ball went.
All of a sudden I was in darkness, like a fog. I couldn’t see anything, and I got really scared. I started calling for you, and when I called you, I saw a light far away from me, so I started walking towards the light and suddenly I was out of the darkness…”At this point was where my son stopped at the first time he related this dream to me some 3-4 years ago. He has the same dream gift I have, but he is unable at this point to see and interpret them…yet.
He and I discussed this dream again just two days ago. I remembered the dream vividly, because I had interpreted it for him at the time. I thought that was all there was to it, but apparently, that was not all.
Much like God does with me, he delivers answers to my son in slices…slivers. He reveals things in bits and pieces, even bringing a dream or vision back to mind again; repeating it for the purpose of reminding us of something He showed us is coming, or will happen; or to show us some new thing that He hadn’t revealed before…a new sliver.
I explained to my son the first time he told me about this dream and a few others, that God was sending him messages, and that he was blessed that God was communicating with him in this manner; this clearly.
“This dream is about letting your yay be yay, and your nay be nay. When you first walked into the park you saw 3 frogs on 3 lily pads. That tells me that this was a situation that God allowed. God was present at the beginning of this situation. The number 3 tells me that. Not only was He present in the beginning, but in the middle and at the end as well.
When you were on the hill, the 3 balls passed you, and the girl told you to get them. You agreed to get the first two, but said you would not get the other because it went past you and was too far away, down the hill.
Yet you went to look. That’s called ‘lust of the eyes.’ When you went to look, you placed yourself in a position to get into trouble, because after saying no, you basically went to look, and tempt yourself. This is why you found yourself surrounded suddenly by darkness.
When you called out to me, you saw a light and you followed it, up out of the darkness.”Well, that was where my explanation had ended, but this time he said, “Yeah mom, but when I walked out of the darkness, there were 3 paths in front of me.”
“Wait a minute. You never told me about this part. I remember that dream clearly. I couldn’t forget it. You never mentioned it.”“No, mom, the 3 paths were there, and I had to choose. One path was straight. One path was a little crooked or wavy, and the other was really crooked and a real hard road. I thought about going on the straight path, and I also thought about the slightly wavy path, because they didn’t look so difficult.”
“Ok. So which did you choose?” My mind was on the straight (and narrow) path, but that’s not what my son’s mind was on.
