i dreamed i was sitting in my childhood bedroom. things were going fine til i looked up and saw a carpenter bee flying at me. it flew straight to my forehead right above my right eye and landed. afraid of being stung i closed my eyes and prayed Lord please make the bee fly away or kill the bee and make it fall dead. but it was still there so i got fed up and swatted at it a little and it flew off and then back and landed on my right arm. i repeated the process, i got scared, closed my eyes in order not to look at it and prayed for God to kill it or make it leave.
when i woke up i remembered an incident that happened in real life. my friend and i were fixing a board on my old house and under it was a nest of carpenter bees. one stung him and we went off to get the bug spray and we came back and killed everything in the nest. but there were some flying around that we didnt get. so shortly after killing the nest we got back up and started on the board again and bam back come 5 or 6 of these things attacking. so we jump down and grab the bug spray and they fly off before we get em. after 3 or 4 times jumping off the ladder i went in and got a hat. and i spent the next half hour in the yard with a swatting hat. i got up and waited for them to come attack then i swatted and stomped. it was like a street fight between me and the bees and was determined to win and eventually i did. i killed them all one at a time with a bait n switch strategy. it took along time that i didnt want to take. and i looked like an idiot out in my yard for awhile swinging that hat and jumping and back and forth, but these things were smart. when they knew i was on them they would fly off to the tree line and watch and come back only when they thought they could get me.
the bee in the dream was my same recurring sin issue that keeps coming back over and over. i keep asking God to kill it but it keeps coming back. i think thats why it was this kind of bee in the dream so i would understand that im going to have to drop everything and fight and fight until i kill it all, a little swat isnt gona work and God is using it to train my character to be able to stand and fight anything else that may come my way. There is always a reason for things and this is what God is telling me here. time for a good old fashioned street fight. i know ill win if i dont quit. but to get through this I'm gona have to fight until the bees are all dead or too afraid of me to come again.
