Years back, I went into the office of a colleague at a former place of work ( her office was partitioned and separate). Then she told me she’s been having a dream and really hopes she knows the meaning of the dream. She told me the dream and told me the meaning based on the understanding I have of it. Then she froze, looked at me, stunned and said, “how did you know this, this is exactly what my family is going through”. Wow! I was shocked, because I only said this using the wisdom of the bible and what those objects signify from that understanding. Also, the Holy Spirit brought the wisdom to know. That day, I was a bit bolder to speak to her.

She said, “Temi, my whole family have been sick for years, my sister is lucky to still be alive now, my parents are ill too, I am the only one that can work and not sick, I am overwhelmed, sad, heavy and tired.”

She is from a European country and a Catholic background, I saw that she’s given up on God, her faith is weakened, and angry at it all.

I encouraged her but now I wish I did more. She needs Christ, where strength, peace, grace and hope to overcome comes but I didn’t know how to make her see this. I just pray that I still had an impact on her when I was there. I wish I was bolder, prayed and spoke more. I have the answers she needed: the one she was avoiding and angry with is still the lasting solution.
