I decided to share a dream that a co-worker had a few months ago. I came into the office and he told me he had a dream about me. He said it was a simple dream. He saw me tied to a stake in the desert, and I was digging for water. I wasn't in a panic , just digging . He told me that the dream played over and over agian, the same thing.


and shortly after that a friend of mine had a vision of me standing on a rock in the middle of a body of water, the waves were stirring and it was storming, a boat of "friends" came by and told me to get in, but the boat was made of wicker (holey) and I declined. I stood there waiting, but very determined .

I shared these because of the vision Rosies daughter had. I don't know if they are connected.

Your thoughts anyone?

Miche, I just wrote a reply to your request for prayer BEFORE reading this.

I believe that the Lord was giving you encouragement. Read Genesis chapter 26- the whole chapter... but starting in verse 17:

17 So Isaac moved away from there and encamped in the Valley of Gerar and settled there. 18 Isaac reopened the wells that had been dug in the time of his father Abraham, which the Philistines had stopped up after Abraham died, and he gave them the same names his father had given them.

19 Isaac's servants dug in the valley and discovered a well of fresh water there. 20 But the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac's herdsmen and said, "The water is ours!" So he named the well Esek, [b] because they disputed with him. 21 Then they dug another well, but they quarreled over that one also; so he named it Sitnah. [c] 22 He moved on from there and dug another well, and no one quarreled over it. He named it Rehoboth, [d] saying, "Now the LORD has given us room and we will flourish in the land."

23 From there he went up to Beersheba. 24 That night the LORD appeared to him and said, "I am the God of your father Abraham. Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bless you and will increase the number of your descendants for the sake of my servant Abraham."

25 Isaac built an altar there and called on the name of the LORD. There he pitched his tent, and there his servants dug a well.

26 Meanwhile, Abimelech had come to him from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his personal adviser and Phicol the commander of his forces. 27 Isaac asked them, "Why have you come to me, since you were hostile to me and sent me away?"

28 They answered, "We saw clearly that the LORD was with you; so we said, 'There ought to be a sworn agreement between us'-between us and you. Let us make a treaty with you 29 that you will do us no harm, just as we did not molest you but always treated you well and sent you away in peace. And now you are blessed by the LORD."

30 Isaac then made a feast for them, and they ate and drank. 31 Early the next morning the men swore an oath to each other. Then Isaac sent them on their way, and they left him in peace.

32 That day Isaac's servants came and told him about the well they had dug. They said, "We've found water!" 33 He called it Shibah, [e] and to this day the name of the town has been Beersheba.

Miche, you are certainly in the Valley of Gerar. However, you are where God has told you to be- (remember, God told Isaac to go to Egypt to stay a while...). You are digging wells, and enemies are popping up and storms are brewing everywhere. But you stay- STEADFAST in the valley. When the first well comes up dry, you move only a few miles in the low place and again dig. Again it seems you have to move because there are more storms, more enemies, more roadblocks. However you stay in that valley.. because GOD TOLD YOU TO STAY.

But the end of the story is awesome. Isaac obeys, holds steadfast in the low place, and keeps digging- and the Lord blesses him greatly (as promised). Finally Isaac is so blessed that the enemies that were kicking him out of the land (THAT INCIDENTALLY ACTUALLY BELONGED TO HIS FATHER ABRAHAM IN THE LAST GENERATION- AND THUS BELONGED TO ISAAC ANYWAY) showed up because they KNEW that Isaac was blessed. They asked Isaac, "Can we make a peace treaty with you?" Soon those who are scoffing your decisions, those who doubt that you are hearing from God, those who won't listen, THEY will KNOW that you are a blessed woman because you did what God told you to do.

The water is the same. You are waiting- determined for the boat that is carrying the Master and the blessing that is promised to you. Just like Peter- you will receive the help you need.

I normally do not speak with such boldness, Miche, but I heard a sermon on the digging of wells just a few days ago. I believe I heard this sermon to deliver this message to you. I knew when listening to it that the message wasn't for me- but was for someone else.

Oh sister, I love you! God is so good. He keeps His promises. Remember, Papa LOVES you. You are a very determined woman! I LOVE IT!

Julie,

Thank you so much. I can't wait to get home tonight (I am at a friends house ) to read about the wells. I do believe there is something there for me.

I know that God has told me to stand for my marraige. People think I am crazy. They tell me to get on with my life etc. But I am determined to obey God. I am battling for my husbands soul. He has been taken captive, and I am battling for him. For God will (WILL) rescue him. God WILL restore our marraige and repair our family.

Thank you so much for sharing.

HUgs to you,

If you are referring to what l said...well...

You can get on with your life and still stand for your marriage. I hope you weren't offended at that statement. Sorry if you took it wrong. Love you!

I pray God will continue to unfold his plan for your life in Jesus name. xoxoxoxo

Miche!

LOVE YOU! I hope you found some encouragement in the Word. God is soooo good!

Remember, Christ has given us the power to be content in all circumstances- even in the wilderness. But there are sometimes- SOMETIMES- when we just need that extra boost. When we need encouragement, He certainly does comfort His children.

Your enemy (that left you in the desert...) that tied you to the stake should have provided water for you.
Romans 12:20
Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.

Your enemy that tied you to the stake could have provided this kind of water:
John 4:14
But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life




My thoughts... there are MANY levels to dreams... personal, local, corporate ... :

Isaiah 21:1
The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds in the south pass through; so it cometh from the desert, from a terrible land.

There are two choices before you. Both are noble. You can continue on the rock. Or you can get in the boat and let your friends help you. (But your friends can’t do a whole lot of helping with you on the rock in the middle of the stormy waters.) They can only come by with the boat and continue to ask you. Both choices are noble. Both choices are HOLY. And you are getting wet (water) by either choice.

There may come a time - when you decide that it’s time for those friends to help. That will be a Holy choice. (Perhaps even a "more holey" choice?)

I could probably be even more specific ... but you can probably go there yourself.

I love you. Seek the Lord!
