I am going to sound crazy but here we go:
So, my wife has been stressing about the current situation and she has been trying to formulate plans for every outcome. We are both Q believers and support our President but she is the type of person who tries to plan for the worst. She thinking of how we can get out the country if things go bad, what are we going to do if their is a war, etc.
This evening she told me, "I just need to go outside, get some fresh air, or meditate or something to help me calm down." So she went outside for a bit and laid down in our hammock.
She comes back in and tells me, "I just saw the weirdest thing. I saw these birds just randomly start flying into my field of view while I was laying in the hammock. I was expecting them to fly past my field of view because that's what it looked like they were going to do but they just stopped."
I was like, "What do you mean they just stopped?"
She said, "It was like they were eating bugs in the sky if you have ever seen that. But I was trying to figure out what these birds were doing and then I started to count them. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 and right when I finished counting they flew away."
So, from what I have learned lately, the number 7 is usually associated with divine things. I told her I think she received a message.
I think that message was a reminder to trust the plan.
To preface this: I had an interesting experience over the past 2 days. I wanted to post about it but thought "Nah. People will think that's crazy talk." I log on this morning and find this thread. I'm taking that as a "go ahead" sign in itself.
Anyway. I'm an artist. I've also been journaling my dreams for 40 years. The more attention you pay to your dreams, the better the dreams can speak to you. I use this often. Just before falling asleep, I'll say to mySelf "Send me some inspiration, an image that I can use". Most times I'll get something useful that starts another project, whatever.
On Tuesday night, I was feeling down (seems common right now). Before I fell asleep I said "Give me a sign. Show me some magic." I just wanted something hopeful. What did I dream of? The letter Q. Over and over again. I saw it, I heard the word Q spoken, etc. I woke up in a good mood. I thought it was funny. So for the rest of the day, I looked for Qs, not in the sense of looking for the letter but seeing it in everyday items...the way the knife was laying on a round plate. The way a shadow fell on some other round item. Etc. Every time I noticed one of these things, I laughed. It was a silly and fun thing to do.
No one really knows who or what Q is. I certainly don't. People say "Oh, it's this person or that person." Read Luke 17 verse 23. And then think of this: the term "Deus Ex Machina" - literally "God from the Machine". Saw that mentioned recently. Now read Luke 17 verse 24. "The Son of Man in His day" will be like lightning flashing across the sky. Electricity? The information flashing across the sky all day/every day now through the Internet?
I know I know. I'm a weirdo. I've known that for a long time. But I was compelled to share this with you. May we all be safe and may we all be blessed.
This was an awesome story. Thanks for sharing! I like your perspective on the combinations of those verses. When I read it I was thinking the same thing: the Internet.
