Meet Molly

Much of my story – my dysfunctional story – and the story of Carl and I, is chronicled in my book, THE DREAM. So in this story, I will tell another part, which I did not record in THE DREAM. 

I was 40 years old at the time of this incident. I was attending a church, and on one particular Sunday, I was given a prophetic word by the pastor’s wife. God said through her, “I will take you beyond what you can imagine, you will look back and be amazed. I will prove it to you.”

I wondered and wondered, for years, what that could possibly mean. I would often say to God in protest, “I am not amazed yet. What is it?! Where is it?! Where will you take me?!” 

But HE never responded to my complaints. I would have to wait. 

Just a few months after that prophetic word, at that same church, and through that same pastor’s wife, I got another prophetic word. This one was: “The freedom I am working in you, you will pass on that freedom to others.”

I certainly did not feel free! I felt trapped and dysfunctional, and always wondering how to move past it. But then the prophetic dream came – and God, Himself, moved me – little by little.

Just one year after I had received the prophetic dream, a significant change occurred at the job I had held for the previous 22 years. My employers decided to sell their small business to a large corporation. Upon hearing the unexpected news, I knew immediately that my days there, at that job I had held for so many years, were coming to an end. I did not want to work for that corporation, and I knew that it was time for me to move on. 

I immediately began to look for another job. I looked, and I looked, and I looked. And I found that the criteria I had set for my next job was not easily met. I prayed, and I looked some more. And then came covid. I worked in healthcare, and so my job was very secure – I felt really stuck.

After so many years of enjoying my job, and enjoying the people that I worked for, I just hated my altered job duties in my new position for this bureaucratic corporation. Every day felt tortuous.

At some point, I went to my pastors, Pastor J and Pastor T (familiar to those who have read my book), and I asked that they pray with me about a new job that I was certain was out there somewhere for me. At the end of their prayer, Pastor J said that he had this word from the Lord: “It’s unexpected.”

What on earth did that mean?! I wondered for a couple more years, as I languished at that job. But HIS meaning was becoming clearer and clearer, as HE continued moving me closer to it.

Fast forward to today – HE has turned me into an author, and it has been most definitely, “unexpected!” Never, in my wildest dreams, did I expect to write a book. Never, in my wildest dreams, did I expect HE would give me the story of the prophetic dream. Never, in my wildest dreams, did I imagine Carl.

I no longer tell HIM, “I am not amazed yet.” These days, I live in a perpetual state of amazement. And that is where our God will take every one of us, if we will follow HIM.

Inspiration in Every Word Discovering the Book's Origins

There is only one inspiration for THE DREAM:
“For God may speak in one way or in another. Yet man does not perceive it. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men, while slumbering on their beds, Then He opens the ears of men, and seals their instructions.”
(Job 33:14-16)

The day that the prophetic dream came, my “instructions” were sealed. I had to choose: HIS way, or my own.

And HE alone, wanted this story told. I was happy to keep it all to myself. For six years, as I sought HIM, and as I wrote, I questioned the necessity of putting it in print for all to read.

But then one day, as I thought on one of the miraculous events that I have recorded in the book, I heard HIS kind voice say:

“Will you keep this to yourself?”

And once again, my “instructions” were sealed.
