The desires of my heart…

The other night, I had a dream. It was quite a long dream, I guess. I was at a theme park with a bunch of friends from Jesus Lifehouse. We rode attractions all day and we got to ride all of the biggest, best attractions. Except for one.
In this dream, I guess we were on some kind of overnight trip, and this theme park was also a campground or something.
Flash forward to the middle of the night (still in the dream), and we were all awake, having decided to get up in the middle of the night to ride that one attraction that we’d missed during the day. The name of the attraction was, “Gold Rush,” (a ride at Auckland’s theme park, Rainbow’s End – I LOVE this ride – it’s kinda similar to Big Thunder Mountain at Disneyland). So, there we all were, at the site of the attraction, in the dark of the night (though I guess we must’ve had torches (flashlights) or something…), trying to get it to start so we could get what we wanted: a chance to take the ride, a little bit of extra excitement that we were trying to inject into our lives!!
Suddenly….
The lights came on. The camp organisers/managers, our leaders, had arrived!!! Big trouble, right?
Wrong. They had decided to bless us by letting us ride that very same attraction in the middle of the night, and had come to get the ride started. But when they arrived, there we were, trying to get the blessing for ourselves, trying to obtain what they already wanted to give to us.
We didn’t get in trouble, though you’d think we would’ve. Despite our attempts to get for ourselves what they had wanted to surprise (and delight) us with, they simply went ahead with their plans to bless us, and we got what we’d all been seeking: a chance to ride the, “Gold Rush,” attraction!!
Waking up the next day, I instantly forgot about the dream and went about my day. It wasn’t until later that night that I had a crashing revelation of what it had meant….at the time that this realisation hit me, I’d been thinking about what many girls are often thinking about: boy stuff!!
I’d been thinking about God’s plans for me and how He has promised me a prince:
“Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass … Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him.” (Psalm 37:4,7)
(That’s another thing to note: He (God) says, “Wait patiently on me.”)
It was in the midst of my thoughts on God’s plan for my life and my musings of, “神様、だれかな？？” (“God, who is it gonna be??”), that an understanding hit me, of what God had been telling me through this dream:
“You don’t need to go out and get the things that you desire in your heart, because I already want to give them to you, and I’m going to do so.”
What words of amazing comfort to the heart of a woman?? Don’t we all wonder, Single Girls, who we will marry? For some of us, it can be a cause of distress, others just a matter of pondering, but it’s definitely a question that has crossed our minds…and there, in the subconscious state of dreamland, lay a resolution, if not yet an answer: Just wait and see.
And I will. Who’s with me?

I am sooooo with you. Even before you explained the meaning of your dream, I knew what it was. I don’t know what it is about being in Aus right now, but I’m feeling really at peace about this particular aspect, and I’m praying I remain so, because it WILL happen, he WILL come and he will be SO worth the wait and ache of my heart.

waiting accomplishes lots of things. Hope outrageously nicky chan. Your prince is coming. but Jesus is already here.
