loose metal braces

[diamondcreates]

Last night I had the most weirdest dream ever. I had a dream that we was making our respective rounds to friends and relatives saying our farewells. I went and sought out an old friend that once upon a time I dated. I was wearing very loose metal braces on my teeth. They had the appearance of bike chains. I saw my old friend's mother/aunt figure and they was surprised that I came by to say good =bye to my old friend. My friend's name is Paul, and his street name is Born. When I did see Paul finally he was still heart broken by the break up of our relationship over 10 years ago. while I was talking to him my braces was 'falling' off my teeth and I put them back in place and continued with the conversation. He noticed the braces and asked why I had them because I didn't have them 10 years ago.

I don't know what that was all about. I've never had to wear braces, at one time when I was younger there was a possible talk if my teeth didn't grown in properly I would have to get braces. I've never dreamt about Paul/Born -- I'm not close to his peoples that I would go out my way to say 'good-bye' to them.

Something about moving to a whole new locale...and saying goodbye to an entire old way of life... That's what is coming to me, but I'm not exactly sure how to put it in words. Like, even though you aren't close to him now or close to his family, when you move from this area you are saying "goodbye" in more ways than just moving physically out of the area...saying goodbye to many things in the past, maybe mentally, emotionally and probably spiritually as well. Does that make any sense?

I haven't figured out the braces, yet.

This is God showing you, how it will break all ties of any kind you may have held to some extent for this past interest. Even tho it seems unlikely you'd go to see them, they are supprised you do still hold some level of closeness to them.

The "loose braces" represent the last bit of interest/affection you may hold for this man, yet it will easily be let go of, because they are loose fitting, not tight.

The fact they appear as a "bike chain", shows there is still minor levels of feelings for this man, which will be left behind easily when you and family move.

Even tho "Paul" was the one appearing to be most effected by the "break up", he notices you still have a bit of feelings for him and asks then why you do, knowing you have a seperate life and family from him already.

While in your concious state you would not go "out of your way to say goodbye to him" or his family, subconciously, you still hold some feelings for him, of which God is showing, will be let go of in your heart and mind when this move takes place.

God Bless!!

I do understand. I've been born and raised in this county for all of my life, and now everything that was apart of my life in some shape or form whether it was good or bad I'm saying good bye to in a matter of weeks now.

Its like I haven't lived in my birth town which is 3 miles away but I do live in the same county. I don't have no real connections there besides family. For years I never wanted to leave that town because that is where my grandmother was laid to rest at and felt 'bad' by leaving the area/ the state, because I wouldn't have readily access to visit her when ever I wanted to. Now that I have overcame that thought I came up with an idea to 'bring her with me'. When we get ready to leave go to the grave site with a small tera cotta plant holder and dig up some earth from her grave site and mark it Grandma Becky on it. So this way where ever I go a piece of her will be with me.

Your "past" is in the past, its long gone already. You can't get it back, You can only retain "memories" of it.

If you intend to take any part of your Grandma with you, take her in spirit, not physical possessions. The "dirt" you took is only "dirt".

I remember a case many many years ago, where a widow, had two man friends of hers and her dead hubby, help her dig up his grave and she opened the casket and took part of his body with her.

What does having a "physical part" of someone we loved who is passed on, compare to the precious most loving and peace bringing "memories" we can have of someone? That physical aspect means nothing without the memories to remind us why it is so precious. But then, who is more important, the dead loved one, or focusing on living for and serving God?

Remember, Jesus told the Disciples when one wanted to leave temporarily,- "let the dead bury the dead." What are you planning to do?

I know where you've lived all your life has alot of meaning to your heart and mind, but what about God's planned future for you too? Is letting the past go so hard, knowing God has a better future yet, waiting for you?

How can you feel bad, about leaving a dead relative, who's physical body is only left in the ground, but thier spirit has gone on to be with God? They let go and moved on in God's plan, why can't you?

Jesus also declared, we are not to dwell on things of the past, nor of things in the future, but with things in the present. Your holding on to things that no longer concern your present or future life, so that its causing conflict in your heart and spirit.

"I wouldn't have readily access to visit her whenever wanted to." Have you considered, all your visiting is physical remains of a dead person, when thier spirit is elsewhere, not even close by?

I have one dead blood mother and 3 dead Christian Spiritual Mothers. But, I do not go to thier graves, because I know I'd only be visiting or talking to something thats lifeless. Where I'm closest to them, is in the memories I have of them, which can flood over me at any given time by something going on that reminds me of one of them. Thats... what i hold on to concerning them.

I loved them all dearly, but I let the past be the past, so i can focus on God's plan for me.

I say this dear Sister, because I understand what you are feeling, but also because I love and care for you and your family. And you need to think about what your priorities are from here on, concerning God's future for you with Him.

God Bless!!

Dear precious Sister in Christ-

I mean't no hurt or harm in how I expressed anything above. But, God has had me leave things behind I dearly loved at times too. Several times, as a child, a youth, then young adult.

I didn't see it at first, but after the second change, i started seeing, how each new higher step God took me on to, was actually more rewarding than if stayed in the last lower step. Even tho Sister, I had to lose something, to gain even more than I expected.

Jesus declared, we must lose our lives, to gain LIFE. In other words, leave our old tainted lives behind, for the new "Spiritual LIFE" giving future waiting for us.

With all God's Love to you and your family!!

Thank you so much brother. Today -- after Dion and I have spoken, it seems that in order for us to gain a new life we much leave those whom are not right with God, behind. We must leave our life here in NJ to gain a new one, a more promising one someplace else. We must leave our loved ones here,(father, mothers, sister, brothers, cousins etc) to get to the next level in our lives because we both agree we have outgrown this house. The engery in this house is not the same as when we first moved in. The area is not the same. And in order to move ahead we can't look back and wonder, we have to move forward and place our trust in God totally.

God bless you brother, your words was indeed perfect to the core.

You know, I still think about my blood mother alot, because all the while I was growing up and as an adult, my mother and I never got along, tho God healed our relationship in the last 10 months she lived. Now, I'd love to be able to visit her earthly grave, but in the respect of honoring the fond memories we shared thru the healing during those 10 months.

It was a strange time, my mother's last 10 months, for God had healed our relationship, but watched as the relationship between my older two brother's and I deteriorate to thier disowning our earthly father and I as family.

My only nehew and his wife- (saved and reborn), still accept me since Dad died, and are working on his dad to try and get them to come to Christ. Its strange, because I've had to let me most loved mother go, to be with God, while also learning to let my living brother's go as well, for thier earthly lusts, which have turned them against family.

So, God has taught me how to let go of ones I love in diverse ways. I still love my brothers and keep them in prayer, but have had to let them go, so as to keep growing myself, in my relationship with God.

What God has done, is replaced the blood family I lost/never had, with many an adopted Christian family to belong to. Thats why so many here call me Brother, uncle, grandpa and more.

But, this could not have happened, if I'd not willingly let go of the struggle trying to get along with family who did not want me in the first place, to let God supply my needs in other ways. God will do this for you too my dear Sister. And you will feel God's Love like you've never experienced, to wonder how we can be so loved. Know what I mean?

God Bless!!
