Thank you for sharing! I would just like to share my experience with hearing a voice (that is apart from a normal, or perhaps even rational thought). I've heard a voice (or a thought -separate from my own thoughts- in my head), twice. The first one was when I had a few friends over to an apartment that I was watching. I had invited them over because we lived in dorms and whenever any of us had access to a real kitchen, we would usually invite a few friends over for a homecooked meal. My friend had invited a guy (we'll call him Joe), over to do the cooking. She really wanted to fix us up, but I had just gotten out of a not-so-great relationship, so I wasn't really interested in starting a new one. I was fixing drinks for everyone when I looked up at Joe...I heard very clearly "I'm going to marry this man." I immediately repeated the thought (as a question) in my head...then began to think that was the most ridiculous thing I had ever heard/thought!! And where did THAT come from, anyway?! I wasn't close to the Lord at the time (only when I was in trouble did I talk to Him), but I remember asking, "God, was that from You?"
I did eventually begin dating Joe, and fell head-over-heels in love with him. We dated for 6 months and then he broke up with me and began seeing someone else. I was devastated...and then I remembered what I had "heard." Shortly after our break-up, there were a couple of men that began showing interest in me (I had been interested in both of these men, at one time)...but that "thought" kept coming to mind. I just felt like going out with either of these other men would ruin what was SUPPOSED to happen. I couldn't explain it then, but I truly believe the Holy Spirit was guiding my steps. Joe and I did get back together and have been married for over 12 years.
The second experience concerns my daughter. In October 2005, I was walking through my living room, on my way upstairs to do schoolwork (I was a college student at the time). The voice/thought said, "I can't wait to meet my daughter!" That stopped me dead in my tracks. My husband and I already had two sons and had not planned on having anymore children. By this time, I had drawn very close to God and went directly to Him in prayer. I asked for confirmation. As I, from time to time, returned to that "thought," I found myself becoming more open to the thought of having another child...my husband, on the other hand, wasn't entirely onboard. I told him what had happened and just allowed God to take it from there (btw...my husband was a new Christian and stuff like that kinda freaked him out). I felt like my confirmation came in December 2005. Our family was sitting at a table drinking hot chocolate when (quite out of the blue) I said, "If we ever have a daughter, I think I know what her name will be." My husband seemed quite interested and asked what it was. I told him and he agreed that if we have a daughter, that is what we'll name her. He was fine with having another child! God even allowed us to conceive her during the most turbulent time of our marriage. Ava Grace was born in the summer of 2007. I'll spare you the details (this message is long enough), but I believe the pregnancy and birth of that little girl saved my marriage...and my husband's life.
I can't tell you what the voice, or your dreams, mean specifically. What I CAN tell you is to lift it all up to God in prayer, ask for confirmation (which may not come instantly...or in the way you expect...but if it's from Him, and you ask, it WILL come)...and then keep your focus on the Lord. As you continue to draw near to Him...He will guide your steps. And whether you are meant to be with Jim literally, or not, as long as you keep your focus on the One who holds your future in His hands, you WILL walk out the path that God has created, in advance, for you! May you become more and more sensitive to the Lord's leading, through His Holy Spirit, as you focus on Him. In Jesus Name.
I hope sharing my experience is helpful. God bless you! And thank you, again, for sharing!
