She Had a Dream about Her

Speaking of dreams, Jesus doesn't always have to appear in a dream to speak through a dream. A case in point would be my friend Linda* and Jenny*, a young intern. Linda works with a different mission organization and was mentoring a young couple on the field. This young couple had been serving long enough to request a two-year intern. Jenny answered the call. But once she showed up, she didn't seem to know how to live out that call. She didn't do what the young couple requested. She didn't take initiative to do anything else. Linda offered to have Jenny help with Linda's work. Jenny showed up, but she never showed up prepared. Linda was ready to send her home, but Jenny was not her intern. And the young couple kept saying, "Let's give her a little more time. Jenny can develop. She can grow into the work." Jenny didn't. Finally the young couple also came to the conclusion that Jenny should go home. They asked Linda to be in prayer with them on the day they were going to have to tell her this. Jenny came to the meeting and announced, before the young couple had a chance to say anything, "I believe the Lord intends for me to go home. Linda appeared to me in a dream last night and told me so." Truly, the Lord moves in mysterious ways . . . . *Names changed to protect privacy. **The two-year intern in this photo definitely DID know what to do. Everyone wanted her to stay longer!
