Not sure if this thread belongs here so please let me know if it doesn't.
I have the gift of discernment, which is a wonderful gift and I've been trying to use it well. In the past two weeks, I've been trusting God's guidance and things have going smoothly. I have NEVER had a vision or explicitly heard God's voice, always just subtle feelings that I knew were him. But this morning I had a vision.
I was sitting on the edge of my bed, praying. I don't always close my eyes when I pray but something was telling me I needed to close my eyes. As soon as I did, I felt peace and, oddly, joy wash over me. Then I saw the image of a woman. She was very pregnant. She had one hand on top of her stomach and the other hand rubbed her baby bump. She didn't smile, didn't speak, just stared at me.
I have a pretty overactive imagination so when odd things come into my mind, I usually push them out and get refocused on God. I pushed the image out but it returned. It didn't last long, maybe fifteen seconds, but it left me confused. I tried to keep going with my quiet time but it was nagging at the back of my mind so I knew I had to write it down.
Does anyone know what this could mean? Is there a clear cut meaning or is it something more obscure? Am I just crazy? Haha, I have no idea what's going on because I've never had a vision, unless you count God speaking to me sometimes in dreams. But I was wide awake this time!
Thanks all
