The Wake-Up Call: A Dream of Earthquakes, Fear, and Priorities
A Wake-Up Call: Surviving an Earthquake and Finding Purpose

I awoke in a cold sweat, my heart pounding in my chest. It had been just a dream, but it felt so real, so vivid. I couldn't shake the feeling that something terrible was going to happen, that the end of the world was near.
In my dream, I was inside a house with two people I didn't recognize. Suddenly, our phone started ringing violently, warning us to take shelter. Without hesitation, we ran outside and saw the ground shaking violently, leaving massive holes in the earth that swallowed people from afar.
I was filled with fear for my life, desperately trying to avoid being swallowed up by the ground and dying. As the ground continued to move and create massive gaps, I found myself jumping in between them, knowing that I could die at any moment. The fear was overwhelming, and I couldn't stop thinking about my family and how we would survive such a catastrophic event.
Despite my efforts to escape death, I soon found myself facing a cavern entrance, and it seemed like my only chance for safety. But before I could reach it, I gave up and accepted my fate.
At that moment, I thought about how much I loved my family and how much I cared for all the people I saw around me. I was struck by the fear on the faces of the rich people in the dream, who were worried about their wealth instead of their lives.
They were frantically trying to figure out how to spend their hard-earned money and keep it safe, while the world was falling apart. In that moment, I remembered what God said in the Bible about earthquakes in diverse places and how it could be the beginning of the end.
The dream made me rethink my perspective and the decisions I make in my life. I realized that I had been too caught up in the busyness of life and my own lifestyle, leaning away from God.
In the end, the dream taught me that if I were still alive on earth when God returns, I wanted to make sure I died knowing that I helped many people who would be beside Him.
I didn't want to be like the rich people in my dream, worrying more about my money than my life or my relationship with God.
As I woke up, I felt a newfound sense of purpose and determination. The dream was a reminder to prioritize my relationship with God and make sure my life is dedicated to serving others.
It was a wake-up call, and I was grateful for the chance to learn from it. I spent the next few days reflecting on my dream, and it helped me to appreciate the small things in life that I had taken for granted.
I started volunteering at my local church and doing charity work to help those in need. I also began to spend more time with my family, realizing that they were the most important thing in my life.
I prayed more and tried to live a life that was more in line with what God would want from me. I still had moments of fear and anxiety about the end of the world, but I had faith that God would protect me and my loved ones.
As time went on, my dream faded into a distant memory, but its impact on my life remained. It taught me to value the people and relationships in my life and to live each day with purpose and intention.
I was no longer afraid of the end of the world, because I knew that I had done everything I could to live a life that was worthy of God's love and mercy.
In the end, my dream was a gift, a reminder to appreciate the present and to have faith in the future, no matter what may come. It was a reminder that we are all here for a purpose, and that purpose is to love and serve others.
