Big Dreams

I have always wondered what it really meant when people say "God spoke to me" or "God told me to do XYZ." I mean, did He really TELL you that, or was it your gut feeling or was it a lightning bolt or a dream?

Well, the other night I feel like I had it happen to me. I was just going to bed and was in my silent, dark bedroom...just waiting to fall into unconsciousness. Then all of a sudden, behind my closed eyes, I saw a bright flash of light (I was in a pitch black room) and just felt the exact words "I MADE YOU FOR MORE THAN THIS."

WOW - it was not wishy-washy, it was not fuzzy, it was not ambiguous.....it was CRYSTAL CLEAR and the message was precise and direct.

OK, hearing that was the easy part. The hard part is figuring out what it means for my life! It's true, I have finally become comfortable where I have no big traumas, heartbreaks, longings or discontentments in my life. I am plugging along, doing just fine, but not really stretching myself too much.

Now I have been given a challenge of sorts! I have no idea what I am supposed to do with this knowledge and direction! But I know that there are signs everywhere, so in 2010, I am officially looking for a way to experience, do, impact, and challenge myself "MORE THAN THIS."

Anyone else have an experience like this???
