A Dream

I don’t have many spiritual dreams that involve prostitutes that wake me up at 2:45’ish am but this was good. It happened few weeks ago:

I was back in Egypt at a spot where I used to hang out during college. It was around the same time of day… well..night.. and I had my car packed with everything that mattered at the time. I was heading to the airport to come to America…for good. I was excited! I decided to sit down on a bench in the middle of the street and take a minute to cherish the last minutes of my old life.

That’s when a prostitute came up to me and suggested that I should delay things for 30 mins and go with her…she insisted that she’ll make it worthwhile. I felt like I’m in the scene from Proverbs 7.

I thought about it and was tempted for about 3 seconds then I realized how ridiculous that proposal is when a future in America is waiting and going with her would be the worst start ever…I laughed her off, turned my back and started walking in the opposite direction.

I woke up hearing a voice in my head saying “..and I AM so much better than America so hurry up and don’t waste time“.

I was wide awake freaked with how urgent and real everything felt. I got up, made coffee and stepped to my front yard with my bible. The foggy weather and time of day felt like a continuation to my dream. I’m sure that the similarities were not a coincidence.

As soon as I sat down I had this picture of in my head with the caption “Here is your treasure map!”

I went on to spent probably one of the best 1.5 hours with The Lord that included a lot of silence.

I shared it with Cindy on our date night and she said “well..let’s live it”.

I didn’t want to forget the dream, the encounter or really THE PROMISE so that’s what I did in our living room to remember.

Live Faithfully Men!
