Daydream or God?
I will start staring off into space most of the time..ha...but my mind starts taking me down what I think might be daydreams. Sometimes I can really work myself up over nothing. I may reminisce about a past time, or think about things to come. But I'm starting to wonder if some of these things are actually God speaking to me. For instance, I start thinking about a person and decide to pray for them. I could pray for some specific that I may think is crazy. I could start praying for someone about traveling. I was thinking about someone the other day and starting praying that if God wanted to move them, as hard as it is for me to watch friends move away, for God to move them to where they would be happy and do His will. Later that day I find out that person had circumstances come up that could lead them to move. I remember as I was letting my mind go on about what life would be like without that person, I became really sad. I started getting to the verge of tears. I blinked a few times, and blamed it on the sad Dave Matthews song playing in the background. I started thinking how silly I was to pray about that, but I still did...Are my daydreams merely daydreams or still moments where I allow God to speak?? Either way it can be cool to see I prayed for something that could be taking place but then I also start to think I am going crazy. What do you think?

I have to say...I am doing some research on this right now! I find myself to be very level headed and logical, but I always felt I have had a sixth sense...not in a scary way but more like a unique connection to Christ in which I get messages from him about how to heal myself emotionally and physically as well as others. I don't think my connection to God is any more special than anyone elses but I do feel like God speaks to me through images in my minds eye. Almost like visions. I also get the feeling sometimes that I need to pray for someone because they will pop in my head for no reason. I could give you many examples...This is the way I see it...(And mind you I haven't researched this regarding to scripture, which is of course where we as christians can find the true answer to everything through study and prayer) I believe that we are all very unique in our communication with God, and alot may have to do with our spiritual gifts. If you feel that God is speaking to you this way continue to test it out and pray over it. For example I was grappling with an issue and was working myself up over it...I suddenly had an image of a White Dove caught in a fishnet that could not escape...He was flapping its wings in an attempt to get free. I then thought Wow if that bird would just be still for a moment and relax it may just realize it could use its sharp beak to free itself. I immediately thought..Wow that is what I should do...Just be still and pray and think of the resource/gifts God gave me to solve what was worrying me. A simple image in my head and words spoken to my heart caused me to grow spiritually in moments. I will keep looking for answers if you will to this unique gift. But just know you are not alone.
