I haven't been blogging as much as I used to.I just felt like I should share my dream of heaven with you all.Hope you read it,because its stinking awesome!Who knows,maybe God really did show me heaven.Side note:This is one of my favorite pictures of all time.It makes me think of how deep God's love and embrace is for us.
I was at Seagrove,Florida with my family.I remember sitting there looking out where the ocean and sky meet thinking,"God it would be cool if you revealed yourself to me in some way."Little did I know just how much He would.That night I had a dream of heaven.Not once,but twice.I don't remember the first time to much other than God had jobs for people to do.After a while I couldn't withstand being in the presence of God anymore.I felt so weak and my body couldn't handle it.Second time I visited heaven I remember being in what seemed to be like a waiting room with people I had known and even heard of in the Bible.All I could think about was where Jesus was at.Someone in the mix of all those people pointed to the ocean said he was over there.As the crowd parted I began to move quickly kind of like a movie real.There He was sitting with this beautiful lady of Indian/African decent.Not to mention they were sitting in front of an ocean kind of like the one my family and I were at the day before I had this dream.I realized it seemed as though Jesus was talking to His "Bride"(us).This lady represented the Bride of Christ.The Church.I went to sit beside Him as He was talking to her and looking out at the ocean.Then in my mind I asked "Is this really Him?" He smiled and asked "Do you think it is?...then yes."I asked if I could hug Him and of course He let me.When He embraced me it was as if nothing else existed.I had never felt so loved and important to anyone.Never had I felt anything like that before.He knew exactly what I wanted to do next.So I took His hands to see the scares and the one in His side.When I looked at His scares it was like looking at my own hands.It really broke me down when I saw how I had done that to Him.I felt as though I was inside His body.The only way I can explain it is that it seemed like those russian dolls where theres a little person within another.That's how it was when I looked at His scares.I then kissed Him on the cheek and hugged Him again.I cried,but everytime I tried all my tears were wiped away(As it says in Revelations21:4).Looking into His eyes was like looking at fire, but peaceful and so much love at the same time.I heard a sound like a trumpet and then Jesus walked away.I wasn't upset or jealous wondering as to where He was going.I was then ushered into what looked like a coliseum.So many people were there.I looked at a stage in front of me and saw people singing,dancing,playing the cello and the drums.It was then I realized we were all there to worship the LORD with our talents,with all that was within us.Looking around I saw people everywhere worshipping God in their own way.So amazing and so beautiful!Then I heard another bell or trumpet sound.I was starting to get weak again with God's presence being so strong.We all met back in that waiting room once more and then I woke up.When I woke up Psalm95 and 100 were on my mind...
Psalm 95
1 Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD;
let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.
2 Let us come before him with thanksgiving
and extol him with music and song.
3 For the LORD is the great God,
the great King above all gods.
4 In his hand are the depths of the earth,
and the mountain peaks belong to him.
5 The sea is his, for he made it,
and his hands formed the dry land.
6 Come, let us bow down in worship,
let us kneel before the LORD our Maker;
7 for he is our God
and we are the people of his pasture,
the flock under his care.
Today, if only you would hear his voice,
8 “Do not harden your hearts as you did at Meribah,[a]
as you did that day at Massah[b] in the wilderness,
9 where your ancestors tested me;
they tried me, though they had seen what I did.
10 For forty years I was angry with that generation;
I said, ‘They are a people whose hearts go astray,
and they have not known my ways.’
11 So I declared on oath in my anger,
‘They shall never enter my rest.’”
Psalm 100
A psalm. For giving grateful praise.
1 Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.
2 Worship the LORD with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
3 Know that the LORD is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his[a];
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
5 For the LORD is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.
I might have shared this with some of you,but just thought I'd share it again.
Much love coming at you!
Call me silly,but I think its pretty awesome.A spoon ring.Your probably thinking "Seriously?This girl wants this kind of ring as her engagement ring?"Yeah,I think its rather neat and simple.I would like to say I'm a simple girl (for the most part).I like different.Who cares if it didn't have the newest diamonds or sparkled like other rings.Just a neat idea for whomever.
My niece would always call me her best friend and she's almost 3yrs old.I can hear her now saying "Come on best friend,come play with me."So cute!I miss my best friend.=/
