1 Samuel 3

two nights ago, i had a dream where "1 Sam 3" appeared.  when i woke up the next morning, i looked up the passage and it was about how God called Samuel.  before God had called out to Samuel (and at this time, he was a young boy), Samuel did not know God and He had never revealed Himself to this boy.  this passage was a pivotal moment for Samuel because he was being called by God for the first time. God spoke to him and appeared Himself before him.  after the calling, He was with Samuel while he was growing up and eventually, Samuel became a prophet of God.  at the end of the passage, it is mentioned that God had once again appeared before Samuel and He revealed Himself through His word.

a month and few days ago, i had a very powerful, poignant dream that had left me speechless and even to this day, that particular dream has left me (and those whom i've told) in wondrous awe.  i don't know where i stand in terms of spiritual gifts but i couldn't help but wonder if this was a prophetic dream?  looking back on that dream, and now looking back at my most recent dream, i wonder... is God speaking to me?

for a few weeks now, i've been indulged in prayer and His word and it's been soo good. and i've been asking for more of His word, more of His love, more of His wisdom.  anything and everything that would TRANFORM me and my heart.  anything and everything that would teach me the meaning of perfect love (1 John 4:18).  the night that i had the dream about 1 Sam 3, before going to sleep, i had prayed to God and asked Him to equip me with scripture.  and most surely, that night, He did.

this coming friday will mark the one month since the breakup.  it's definitely been... challenging and interesting. and strangely encouraging all at the same time.  friends have been saying that i've been handling it very well.  and one particular sister has commented that i'm "such a witness." (??) haha.. mm.. but aside from what others have said, i thank God wholeheartedly for keeping me strong and faithful to Him.  and now, speaking to me in ways that i had never dreamed of.

God, You are soo good.

i give all glory and praise to You~
