OK, to continue... Sunday night was Big Worship and it was awesome. Really cool time of worship and prayer and just waiting on the Lord. While we were singing I had what I could best describe as a vision. It was just a picyure planted in my head, almost like a dream. I saw two boys. I was one of them. The other boy had something cupped in his hands and hidden, like a boy holding a frag he had just caught. The other boy said to me, "Come here, I want to show you something." I came up close to him and we huddled together. He said "You won't understand this." He opened his hands and in his palm there was a cube. I remeber it very clearly. It looked metallic, and each side of the cube had ridges on it like someone had pressed all four fingers down on it.
I thought this was odd. We are in the middle of a series on spiritual gifts, so I figure that this has something to do with that. I say to myself, "OK, God, it seems you have something you want me to share and communicate with the congregation. If we have a chance later, I'll share this."
We sing some more, than Chris gets up to speak. He starts praying. There is a quiet time and the strangest thing happens. I start getting these words in my head, words of praise and thangsgiving and worship, and I feel the urge to say these words out loud. I didn't. I didn't know where these words were coming from. So I just kept it to myself. It wasn't until several minutes later that I remembered the vision I had earlier, and I realized that that message wasn't for anyone else. That was a message for me.
This was very odd for me. I have felt that, in the past, God has given my wisdom for certain individuals or for the congregation, but I have never felt so clear a message for me personally.
I told this story to our Christ Life group. Now, when God is doing something in your life that you think is really cool, and when you tell others about it and they think it's really cool ... well, that's just *really* cool. They prayed over me. It was awesome.

that IS really cool! thanks for sharing
So you think that there are gifts that God has for you that you don't understand? What do you think the words were that came to you later? Do you think that God wanted you to share those out loud, but you didn't understand at the time? Or were they just for you?
I am remembering how we have been taught that the spiritual gifts that God gives us is for the edification of the whole body.
How exciting to anticipate what it is that God has to give to you, what he has already given you and that you are going to discover and learn how to use!
God really does have some plans for you, I can't wait to see them unfold.
