Tyme Posted November 21, 2018 Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 (edited) I'm trying to remember why I resigned. I can't remember and have no idea. All I know is the night before I resigned I had a dream of being in church with President Monson then being under the tree of life. I wish I would have kept a journal because details are slowly fading. It's amazing that I resigned after having that dream. I still did despite the dream. *perplexed* Edited November 21, 2018 by Tyme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The closest I can come to that was one wherein Elder Holland and Elder Bednar were trying to set me up on a blind date with someone. mirkwood, Sunday21, wenglund and 1 other 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I told my brother about this, he did suggest that I should write them a letter and ask who they had in mind.

I don't claim to have that gift, but I've had sacred dreams before that helped motivate me to make long term changes. Maybe that was why the Lord sent you that dream (it sure seems like a special one to me). zil, clbent04, Jane_Doe and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that was why the Lord sent you that dream (it sure seems like a special one to me). It definitely made me think twice about resigning. I think you're right the dream was more for the future. That was the first and only spiritual dream I've ever had. I know God has always had me in the palm of his hand. That me resigning was all part of the plan. I'm coming back stronger than ever. It wouldn't have happened if I didn't resign. I also believe God allowed me to and possibly I even chose to have schizophrenia. It's made me a better person overall. I'm more humble and compassionate from what I can tell. I'll even say that as difficult as schizophrenia is it is the best thing to ever happen to me.

Barrett Maximus Posted November 21, 2018 Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 Keep a dream journal, also write down every promting, spiritual experience, promises in blessings. Tyme 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrett Maximus Posted November 21, 2018 Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 I also suggest writing down what you do remember from that dream before it fades more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you resign from? Your job? Your calling? The church? What? And did the dream make you think you had made the wrong decision? In my research of the early church, I've come to think dreams involving trees can be highly significant. If it was of God, I recommend that you do some prayer and fasting, then ask God that if the dream was of Him, that He repeat it to you with the interpretation. It never hurts to pray for forgiveness, too. One thing I've learned is that God, the Bishop, the missionaries--no one but us--benefits more from our membership and activity in the church. And with the movies and garbage we watch on television and see in movies, it's difficult to gain the Spirit of God and to keep it. In the early days, the people found it easier to get and to keep the Spirit of God because they weren't constantly being assailed by all this filth that we do today.
