Deep thoughts- the dream




 As I am pondering about my body, my pains, my injuries, my scars, my disabilities, and the things that I have wrong with me, that I have always thought were wrong with me.

I can envision myself laying down….

And having this dream…….


I’m driving down the road and I see a car ahead of me and it’s flipped over, 

and I am the first person on scene,  

and as i pull over to see if anybody needs help, 

huge dread comes over my heart, 

I see that it is my family,

 who I have not seen in over a year, 

and with the disabilities that I have, 

with all my heart, I want to help them, 

but because I am weak,

 I am unable to…..

…

 so I call the police, and as I’m on the phone, 

my heart is just torn, because I want to help them so bad…

 But because I have allowed my body to get this weak,

 I am unable to help.

  It seems like hours go by…….

as I am just waiting for the emergency vehicles to get here

 to help my family….  

I am looking around.

Waiting…….

 I see a date on a sign 

and amazingly enough it is one year from today……


You then think…

I just saw the future…..


And then you wake up…….


With some dreams they last for a long time after you wake up, 

and other dreams, you seem to forget them right away.

But, with this dream it is so tight in your mind, 

because you felt that sorrow………..

 you felt the pain………

 you felt that need……..of wanting to help!

but your body 

Was and Is not ready…


You have a choice to make, after you see the dream,

You can write it down,

 but you really don’t want to remember that, 

it that was tragic. 

That was horrible.


You can ponder on it, and then just let it go…..


You can think that was extremely weird and just have nothing to do with it….


Or. 

You can do something about it.!!!

 If you knew that your family was to get in an accident in 1 year, 

and you were able to do something about it… 

what would you do?  

Will you exercise every day? 

Will you quit watching TV? 

And go out and exercise, will you better your life, 

so in a year, whether your dream comes true or not…

you will be better for them……..your Family..and yourself

 I promise you…….

that you will not have to wait for the emergency crew to save your family. 

God will bless you!

 He will strengthen you.!

 He will make you better, 

if you improve your life.

  Get out of the rut that you’re in.

…

And improve yourself.!

…

For 18 years after I shattered my back, I listened to the doctors, 

who said you will never be able to run again….

 you can’t it’s impossible. 

And I listened to them…..

Every time somebody told me that I couldn’t do something……

 I listened to them……

And I got weaker and weaker and weaker……..

Eventually, I was crawling to the bathroom….

because my legs wouldn’t work anymore.

It was at this point when I was at my weakest, 

that I had an understanding of something 

like the dream…..


of what I was describing…….


and I did something about it. 

I didn’t just wait for the year to go by and see if it was going to happen.

No,,,,

I started doing water aerobics / walking,  I could last five minutes in the pool before,

 I was in so much pain I couldn’t handle it anymore. 

But I decided to go back the next day and put in at least five minutes and one second , one second longer then I did yesterday.


And there were days that I woke up thinking I am in so much pain I don’t want to go, 

and during those days that I listened to my pain, and of  not wanting to go…

as I was listening to ,…. 

To the doubts of my mind,,,

of all my sorrows.

 It truly felt as if I was in more pain….  

throughout the day, 

and it was evident 

because I was more aware of it, 

I could only think about all my other worries and problems, and all the garbage, I allowed in my life……

 it was like I could remember all my issues and everything.

 And I kept getting more and more depressed not wanting to do anything……… 

Why was I just sitting around doing nothing??? 

 dwelling in my pain….


But…

soon as I started to commit every day to change,

 to pray to God to ask for help!   

To better myself with His help, 

just even by a little bit, 

amazing changes happened….I know He was and is with me every day. 

Because of the amazing changes He has allowed in my life.

In 18 years I went from a young adult body,, 

all because of an injury, and listening to people who didn’t believe in me ….

to a 90-year-old body. 

That couldn’t walk, 

I  couldn’t do anything,

 I couldn’t even lift up a milk gallon.

But since I listened, to my understanding of where I was……..

it was like,,

OK ………

I tried it my way…….

 and the doctors way…….

and everyone else’s ways…….


and it didn’t work…….

for 18 years…….

I was miserable…….


Soon as I committed myself to God, 

wanting to change,

 throwing up my arms, saying OK, God!!! 

I don’t know.! 

Help me do it your way God…… 


He…God stepped in. 

He is showing me a better way.,

 I know I could’ve never done this on my own…

I know He is with me…..

I have lost over 80 pounds of fat, I have gained over 30 pounds of muscle, I can now do three hours in the pool without overdoing it.   

It has been a year since my realization…

And it’s all because I trusted God, 

He helped me understand that there is an opposite in all things, 

 and I was at my weakest that I allowed myself to be…

and God knew….

I was finally ready to listen….


To the dream or vision, or understanding or whatever I had,

 I truly believe it was God saying…..


Through all your sorrows, 

your pains, 

all you’ve been through, 

your weakness,

 the things you have failed at,

 I God, can show you so much more…

I can lead you to be a better person…

 I can show you the happiness that you’ve always sought for…

I can give you the body that you desire…

just come to Me…

trust Me…

if you honor Me, I will honor you !!!


and I will make you so much better…

More than you can fully understand…


1st corinthians 6:20

For ye are bought with a price: therefore Glorify God in your Body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

…

1st corinthians 3:16-17 

16. Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

17. If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is Holy, which temple ye are.

…

Isaiah 49:16

Behold, I have graven thee upon the Palms of My Hands; thy walls are continually before Me.

 This morning I woke up super early again And this time I just decided I’m gonna get up So I did, and I started my day  And then I started to ponder Why is my Heavenly Father waking me up this early? What is He trying to tell me? What do I need to do in the mornings that I have not been doing? It is in the mornings, when it is the most calm, the most peaceful That is the best time to talk to God No distractions from the world Everybody is asleep Your  home In the peaceful morning It’s just like being in the temple you can have ultimate peace In your home In the morning, right when you wake up In my opinion This is the best time to reach out to God To pray, and to talk to God however you do it  just keep doing it (( sometimes I wonder, am I saying these things for me or am I saying these things for other people that are reading my blog.. Because I just hit the microphone and I just start talking and then later on I go back and look at what I’ve said or wrote and I’m l...

 This morning I woke up super early And no matter what I did, I could not go back to sleep  and we’re talking 3 or 4 in the morning maybe earlier than that  right before the sunrise   I did my morning activities  Then I tried to think of modern day miracle’s that we have That we just think of as if it’s common every day stuff Here is what I thought of……. Try to think like you were back when Nephi was around Or when Moses was around Or anybody in the past  further back than 300 years If they were still alive today,  and all they knew was where they lived and what it’s like From their time periods  If they were still living in that environment and they came up over any mountain that you live by and they saw this big giant city With things flying in the air No people walking anywhere These weird machines driving around These weird things  everywhere  big buildings with smoke coming out  Houses everywhere But no people  Cause ...
