Hello all......sorry I've not been on....I've been busy. I had a spare baby for almost an entire fortnight ( skipped the weekend coz my boys were really sick)....he was - is 5 months old and a lot of hard work - and hubby didn't like the child so I did all the work.....So if I dreamed - I dunno what I dreamed about.

Yesterday - was a baaaaaad afternoon. Hubby had to go to soccer to play a practice match.Said he'd be home by 3pm....was NOT! My children who have been sick were monsters in toddler disguise....only the baby was good because he's still unwell. I decided when hubby wasn't home when he said he would be - to move the pantry cupboard....which obviously entails removing everything in it and on it. Turned my vacuum cleaner on to suck up some arrowroot, flour and oregano spills - turned it off - manhandled the cupboard (no easy task) to where it was to go while telling naughty toddlers off and turned the vacuum on again to vacuum where the cupboard had been. CLatter noise - then an awful smell. NOT happy person. After putting everything away - I then stomped round the house in tears looking for the receipt again to take it back to the shop today when they open. And yes - I ranted and raved in my head. I was working up to sending an angry email to the president of the soccer club about the club committee's lack of movement and ability to do anything. etc etc. and in the middle of all this - I yelled at myself in my head " you only took this baby on for yourself. YOu didn't just do it for the baby - you did it for yourself....to make you feel better". WHich stopped me in my tracks briefly. THen I continued on - well what has God done for me regarding my husband? He may have a pt job - he may be undergoing counselling - but it's not HELPING me! I have prayed, begged, pleaded and asked for God to set hubby right and get him to realise what I do here and to be like other husbands and just help me ( I even mowed the back lawn yesterday morning because he said he'd do it - but had to go to soccer so couldn't).

Anyway - I then stomped off downstairs and slept for 4 hours once hubby got home.....came back upstairs - kids are in bed - did some scrapbooking and went to bed again. Wasn't until then - that I started to dream.

I will also add - looks like we've a rabbut burrown in our back yard - only been dug in the last month I'd say coz it wasn't there when I chopped the cottoni ester trees down.

SO my dream........I was digging in the garden where our tomato plant is ( only one has survived) - I"ve decided to get weeding and see if I can get all the garbage out and make it good again for planting. I was digging away - and I see a bag - calico I guess - and it's firmly wedged under the concrete foundation of this part of the house....which in reality - my father in law built or had built.

Me being a sticky bicky - dug down and under the bag and pulled it out. I Was trying to look in it - but was being harrassed by my toddlers. I remember I Was squinting my eyes to see what was in it and I felt on the verge of waking up the toddlers in my dream were annoying me so much. And as I felt my self waking later I kept reciting what was in the bag so I could remember.

THe only thing I really remember was some photograph negatives. THey were old.....I"m not sure if they were old enough NOT to be colour - but they weren't the little negatives you get wehn you develope a film - they were the size of a photograph - but a small photo - about the height of a cd case and half the width of a cd case (I figure that everyone knows what a cd case's size is ). I believe the negatives were photo's of a little boy - possibly named Peter. ANd I wondered why they would be buried. (I have a brother in law named Peter). I think there were some old coins and possibly some note money as well....I really can't be sure. BUt there were certainly quite a few negatives and I couldn't - or didn't see what they were all about because of the harrassment from the toddlers in the dream.

THe thing is - I didn't see the toddlers in the dream. And I can't say what they were doing either. I just figured as I was typing this - maybe they were demon's? Tugging and pulling and yelling etc....instead of children. I've been surrounded by naughty children ( except for when they had a temperature) for a week - or by demanding babies - so maybe I just thought they were kids. Dunno - they is sneaky creatures.

MM.

Maybe it means the hard times you are going through now will eventually be buried in the past and you will forget about them. The negatives mean it is a negative situation which should be buried. This too will pass...Look towards the future where your comfort will be and your troubles will be behind you.



Since they were CD case size, is there any type of music that you listen to or used to listen to that might need to be buried? Or maybe someone else is listening to? I used to listen to alot of negative music that God convicted me of, which I have put in the past. It is hard to do, because sometimes those songs creep in to my memory. Maybe the screaming children might be suggestive of musical discord? Maybe your children could be calmed down with certain soothing music? Just some thoughts...

I used the cd case as a sizing - coz everyone knows what a cd case size is - so the negatives are about half the width and the full height of a cd case in size.....not regular sized negatives.


As to my children calming down.......onely one will actually stop what he's doing when it comes to hearing music - he'll then run to where the music is. The other one will run to the music and start dancing.....maybe it's because they've been sick and cooped up inside because they've been sick and had an extra baby around to take away attention to them. I don't know. Who knows.

I do recall thinking - why are there these photo's of Peter hidden here....something along those lines....was he the builder's son making a 'time capsule?' - that sort of thing.

Hmmm....I don't know. Maybe the money suggests something buried that is worth something...maybe your house is sitting on "petro"...petroleum? This could go in a thousand different directions.

Rabbits digging...drilling for oil?

In my dreams! THe house isn't ours - it's the inlaws. And it's an actual fact - we dohave a rabbit nest - burrow - whatever you call it in the back yard! He's going to be unhappy when I dig it up! AAhh look - as I said - who knows.

I've just gotten the depressing news my vacuum cleaner may not be covered underwarranty because I vacuumed up flour. I've just read the user guide carefully and it says nothing about NOT vacuuming flour, arrowroot or plaster dust - which according to my husband there aren't many vacuum cleaners which can handle and which I didn't suck up anyway. But sheesh.....what good is a vacuum cleaner that can't suck up certain things because it gets into the motor??? Looks like $650.00 down the gurgler. When they give me the cost of the engine replacement - do I get a new one, or buy a new vacuum cleaner completely??

I"m gonna go have a napp now.

Hi Mikkie, I have been asking the Lord for help in understanding your dream as there is a teaching in it for you from the Holy Spirit. I want to pray somemore about it but wanted to share some thoughts with you so that you may weigh them. Please pray and ask the Lord to help you to see the clear understanding to this teaching. I believe that you may be feeling along the same lines as Job felt concerning a feeling of hopelessness in a situation. Like in Job 14:7-12 when he is speaking of his feelings of hopelessness and how he can’t go back in the past and correct things. Those around him that counseled him wanted him to believe that there was a sin or sins that he had committed to cause all his sufferings. However the book of Job demonstartes that satan is a liar and a cheat. satan wants the world to believe that Christians only serve God because He blesses them and if the blessing was removed that they would be cursing instead of praising. satan is a liar and a cheat that deceives. Your digging in the garden to remove the weeds and get the garbage out so to make it good for planting again. This reminds me of the parable that Jesus told of the seed.
"Jesus told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared. "The owner's servants came to him and said, 'Sir, didn't you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?' "An enemy did this,' he replied. "The servants asked him, 'Do you want us to go and pull them up?' "No,' he answered, 'because while you are pulling the weeds, you may root up the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.'" (Matthew 13:24-30)
"Then He left the crowd and went into the house. His disciples came to Him and said, "Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field." He answered, "The one who sowed the good seed is The Son of Man. The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one, and the enemy who sows them is The Devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are Angels. "As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will weed out of His kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear." (Matthew 13:36-43)

While you are digging you see a bag wedged under the foundation of that part of the house. A house that was built by your father-in-law. Believers are the church and who is the foundation, the cornerstone of the church? Jesus of course. The house symbolises God the Father and the corner of the foundation is Jesus.

"So then you are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with The Saints and members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord; in whom you also are built into it for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit." (Ephesians 2:19-22)

This is where I need to continue to pray. Concerning this bag. What does the bag represent? Inside of the bag wedged under the foundation are old under developed photographs. In our dreams old photographs can represent mistakes, sins from the past that are brought to our mind. Job 14:17 says: My sins would be sealed in a pouch, and you would cover over my iniquity.

You say that there was photo of a little boy possibly named Peter. This reminds me of when Jesus said in KJV Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
But then later Jesus went on to say in KJV Mat 16:23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
So this bag maybe representing old sins that are covered but satan keeps trying to bring them up to you. he wants to accuse you of having caused whatever sufferings you are going through just like Job was told.

Just some thoughts for you to ponder.... I pray they will be of help and comfort to you.
your sister,

Totall excellent.....absolutely. The only thing I will mention is it's only this part of the house - where the bag is - that my FIL built - it was supposed to be an office, but it's now a bedroom for my stepdaughter. That area though is where we've been growing potatoes and tomatoes.......and WEEDS!

However, it still fits because it was my (non-christian) father in law who built it.

I found it interesting you said 'under developed' photo's......I wonder also if they could also stand for 'under developed' ideas, dreams, thoughts, etc etc that I'd buried instead of thinking further or acting further on them - I buried my 'dreams' so to speak because I oculdn't see a way to bring them to fruition.


And I have been thinking along the harvest - the Great Harvest - a lot recently.....things keep bringing it to mind.

I have not read Job at all - I've not read a lot of the Bible mainly because it's a big book and hard to read easily in bed laying down. I do have a lovely new testament that is small enough...but no OT. I need to learn to settle a bit...and ATM my mind is jumping all over the place. I've found the energy to keep the house in better condition, now I just need to organise myself to do things spread out.

The other thing - the other day - 2 or 3 days prior to this dream - I was drifting off to sleep - and I don't recall now if it was nap time or night time - but I distinctly heard someone say my name. I sat up and said - yes God what do you want?. Nothing more since.....then this dream.




This I find FASCINATING!

Also the part about Jesus and Peter. We are, I guess - as the church - all rocks - or stones - pebbles upon which the church is formes.....but we are also afflicted with 'human-ness' - where we may not even see it - but satan is working through us to kind of - try and keep our minds from God - picking away at the pebbles that are the people of the church - so they fall away and become weakened.


I will re-read this further at a later date - have to get ready to pick up 3 year old from pre-school - might print it off as I have my first house church in a couple of years to go to tonight......not knowing what we'll be looking at - but maybe we can delve into lessons like this.
