| For the back story, please see "~ A True Story ~" . Alone in her living room She knelt by the sofa. Tears flowed As she bowed her head And prayed. She was so unhappy. She felt so hopeless. She felt unloved. She felt alone. In an empty marriage. "God," she cried, "I feel hopeless." As she sobbed, A Bible verse Came to her mind. My people perish For a lack of... Vision. She was perishing Without hope. "God, I have no vision. No hope For a brighter future With this man. Please help me." She asked for Hope. She was given A vision A hope-inspiring vision... Eyes still closed In prayer She saw a scene Unfold on a stage Behind her eyelids. Her husband was On that stage. He stood before A congregation Of young people. The group Watching and listening Were seated On folding chairs. Before the stage. Her husband Speaking to them Held up A book A special book. It was a Bible With a special binding Sewn in such a way That could be folded Completely inside out. He held up that Bible As he declared, "The answers to all Your problems Are in here." And then He turned And summoned her To join him On that stage. He put his arm Around her waist And said to the crowd, "I thank God For this woman." He then went on Thanking God for The fruit of The Spirit He saw in her. Lost in the Spirit, She had to admit This fruit was Not yet fully Manifest in her. The vision ended. What did it mean? Drying her tears, She embraced it As a promise of hope. She believed God had shown her Something precious: A loving husband And happiness ahead. She held onto That vision. She never let go Of the hope It would come to pass. Even now Years later Promise unfulfilled She remembers Her vision of hope.
