Dream - Graduating University

Last night I had a dream.   24th August 2016

I was in a room with a group of people and the girl that led me to the Lord was there and at one point I was sitting next to her.  We were in a church setting and she was sipping on coffee, relaxed, and saying something like she was enjoying being in a place of freedom, and she was happy.

Then I remember that I was also there to celebrate my graduating University.  At first I had to calculate that I was not leaving high school; thinking of my age, I finished high school at 17, then 3 years university means 20 years old - and in the dream - that was a reflection of my age.  My mum was with me and I looked at her and said thank you for paying my tuition fees as I know it would have cost a lot.  I was still in that same church environment that I was in with my friend.

That was pretty much all I can remember but I do reflect firstly that I have had a number of school and graduation dreams over the years; from primary school to high school.  Then I remember I was graduating high school and going to university, and this one was not that long ago really, probably in the last few years.  Now, in this dream, I have graduated university.

I note that I don’t feel that I have done anything spectacular in my walk recently to have this dream of graduating, nor any of the other dreams, but maybe it is significant for something new that is coming. Something new to learn, and now I am graduating from school and coming into some real life situations?

Yesterday I did recognise a prayer I said:  I said ‘Holy Spirit, teach me about You and to flow in You and be in You’.  I recognise that there can be so much more in my relationship with Him. Maybe it is because I want more and deeper and am coming into a new confidence, but in Him, not me!

I also had a lovely connect group with some girls and there was one girl there who was very sweet and my attitude was, I can learn something from her.

The other thing is, often my Dad or his house, or my mum or my sister are in my dreams.  I have seen that my dad often reflects Father God, my mum – Jesus and my sister, the Holy Spirit.

Saying to my mum, thanks for paying my tuition fee, I know it cost a lot, was like me saying to Jesus, thank you for paying the price for me. I know it cost you everything.

I also note that this September, I believe, is when I first went to church to listen to a testimony and was so touched by God that He got my heart then.  I didn't formally go forward for prayer and be baptised until the following June, 1997.  But, this September testimony in 1996 was extremely significant for me.  So reflecting now, that is 20 years. Praise God for keeping me.

I find my dreams so interesting and descriptive at times, especially when links are being revealed, pictures and analogies. 

There is nothing for me to do in this other than be thankful that God has kept me these years.  I believe that there is something new coming, and this 20 years in the Lord is quite significant. And to give thanks to Jesus for paying the price for me, I love that about this dream.

So, yes, thankful, blessed, hopeful.  God is good!
