French fries

I had two dreams in one night.

It is a fact coated with fiction.
Reality and dreams collide.

One night.

Reality- I am currently having some big issues at work and in my personal life as well, and all I can do is pray and trust God. And yes, sometimes I whine to God.

In my dream, I was too weary and tired but still working at my workplace. Then suddenly my staff told me that there was a free lunch box outside and I should get one and eat because I was too tired and hungry. Then suddenly everybody was eating except me, because I did not get my share. Then I woke up feeling bad about my dream. Like I was so left out and that I was not getting what I want and what I need in life. So I pray hard. I cried to the Lord about what I feel and about my unfinished dreams and about my sorrows and my heartbreaks... I poured my heart to the Lord until I fell asleep while praying.

Then I dreamed again. I was riding a bus going somewhere and after the bus stopped, I climbed a very high mountain. Upon reaching the top, I paused for a while to appreciate the beautiful view. And then on top of that mountain was a restaurant. So I went in but there was no one to assist me, so I went to the counter and asked for a menu. The waiter gave me a menu and told me that if I want special orders He would be pleased to cook it for me. So I ordered for a roasted chicken and mashed potato and a special order - fish fillet. After a while, my food is ready and yes, it was so delicious and He even gave me a glass of iced coffee with coffee jelly in it. After eating everything I asked for my bill and He said - since you have special orders, everything is free. And then He gave me a plate full of French fries and told me that I should share those fries to other people. Then I asked Him why should I share these fries? And He told me that I should share what I've learned in my dreams.

Then I woke up, its morning already.

While I was still trying not to go back to sleep, I suddenly realized the lesson in my dreams.

...that sometimes we want something because everybody wants it or have it.(Like that free lunch box from my first dream. It was a lunch box from a cheap fast food chain, it looks cold like it was cooked last night, but everyone wants to have one and I'm one of them). But God sometimes don't give us what we thought we want or need because He wants something much better for us. (Like that restaurant on top of the mountain in my second dream, where the waiter gave me not only what's in the menu but also what I really want to eat, and it is freshly cooked and served. And the ambiance was so peaceful and beautiful... And it is absolutely for free).

...I believe you already got the message of my dreams.
