God speaks in dreams and visions.

We had a... "situation" in our house about a week ago...these grey scissors were being used, which is fine....but then they mysteriously disappeared.  It was a bit of a nuisance since Christmas crafting is happening in our home and these scissors are vital for most projects.  However, the crafts had to change (we got a lot of crocheting done) and the scissors were left mysteriously in an unknown place.  As with most things we encourage each other to pray and ask God to help.  We know that He knows all things, that He answers us, and that nothing is impossible with Him.  So, the family member prayed, and said that God showed them a picture of the scissors in the button tin.  WoW!  How amazing right?  I mean, God still does that?  Can it really happen?  You might think that they just remembered, but I know, and they know, it was God.  In Acts 2:17 it says,
  

"'In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.

Ok, but here's a funny part (not really funny)...this family member decided not to listen to God and just scan over areas of the house, hoping to find it on their own.  Isn't it funny how we sometimes do that, at least I know I have before.  I know that God has told me something, yet I want to think I might be able to do it on my own...or in my own way.  Even when I asked!  and He answered!  I took, well, over a week.  I finally said, listen, these scissors are really important to us finishing Christmas gifts and we're going to have to find them, or buy new ones.  I know they are in the house, let's find them.  At that time, when they thought about having to buy new ones...they thought, this is serious!  Looked for a few minutes, then remembered the picture that God put in their mind.  Immediately they went looking, not for the scissors, but for the button tin.  Which they found, and of course, the scissors were in it!  This true story is amazing to me, and to my family of God's incredible reality.  He spoke in a picture, so clearly to my child's mind, and thus, taught us all a lesson.
