The Parable of The Two Dreamers

This parable is a true story, which is not finished yet. Names have been changed.

Two women dreamed of having ministry houses in southern Indiana. They shared many of the same, or similar ministry interests, both of them being gifted in ministry. Carol did not follow her dream, and pursued many other activities instead. Salome followed her dream.

The Lord gave Carol and her husband Bob the power to make an adequate lving, including discretionary funds (Deuteronomy 8:18). The Lord called Salome to remain single, and in His providence chose for her a life of poverty.

The two women met and became prayer partners.

Carol and Bob were generous givers, but though they saw Salome's need and had the means to help her, they closed their hearts to her need (1 John 3:17-19, James 2:14-17). They made many offers to help her, but seldom followed through. Carol usually responded to Salome's need by saying she would pray for her. Carol pushed Salome away emotionally in many ways, some of them very hurtful, though she said she loved her.

The Lord kept leading Salome to pursue her dream, though she lacked the resources, and she followed, taking bold steps of faith. Eventually He sent her to Carol and Bob's home church, to provide the church with a safe house in southern Indiana in light of coming persecution. Carol and Bob continued to distance themselves from the dream. Though sometimes Carol expressed interest in what Salome was doing, she would not commit herself to Salome or the dream.

This is the unfinished part. The Lord gave Salome eyes of faith to see the outcome. He would establish the safe house in southern Indiana. Salome and others would be there. Salome would be in Heaven in less than a year. For now, I'll leave out what the Lord showed her about Carol and Bob.

Who should be the hero in this story? How would you write the missing part?
