TESTIMONY 4: SOMEONE HAD A VISION ABOUT ME

American Swiss event, where a girl approached me and told me that God showed her a vision of me

July 31 I was at an American Swiss diamond event my modelling agency had invited me to. For the first time in my life I had attended an event completely alone, not knowing anyone that was going to be there? I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to gain some independence. When I arrived at the event I had immediate regrets of coming alone though, because everyone knew someone there. "Hi there, welcome to the American Swiss VIP event, could I have your name please?" a lady asked me at the entrance "Hi, thanks so much, my name is Sydney Bailey." She checked the guest list and then ticked my name off. "Alright perfect, there is champagne on the right side if you would like to grab you a glass?" "Oh no thank you I don't drink." I then looked over to my right and noticed there was orange juice too. "I think I'll have a glass of orange juice though, thanks!" When I made my way into the American Swiss store I walked around looking at some of the diamonds, what else was I supposed to do? Interrupt somebody else's conversation that they were having with someone they actually knew? Lol, not a chance! A staff member of American Swiss then approached me holding a plate carrying a beautiful ring "Would you like to try on this diamond ring?" "Oh no thank you!" I said, scared it would get stuck on my finger, I wasn't going to be that person. "Are you sure? Just give it a try?" the staff member was persistent and I noticed there was a man with a camera following him everywhere waiting to snap someone with it on. "Okay, sure, I'll try it on." another staff member then put the ring on my finger as pictures were being snapped of the whole procedure. 

I was then offered a small snack by one of the waiter's with trays. After that I pretty much ran out of things to do lol so out came the phone. I then noticed another lady standing alone and we started a conversation. I then noticed a girl I had seen before at the event, she was also a model. I remembered her from Cape Town fashion week rehearsals. The remember her specifically, because she was the only other model, apart from myself, that was being defensive and openly showing with expression that she was not happy with the treatment. The team treated the models horribly, like we didn't have feelings? It was mostly just the two main ladies in charge. What caused me to become angry was when one of the ladies yelled at me "Closer to the edge!!" I looked to my right and thought if I move any closer to the edge I will fall off, I'm already on the edge? I showed her I was confused using my hands. She again yelled "Closer to the edge!!!" Are you stupid???" I thought how dare you call me stupid, who do you think you are talking to me like that? When it was her turn to walk I spotted her complaining to the other lady, making huge arm movements angrily and then storming off while she walked back up the runway. 

That was the first time I had seen her, and this was the second. She saw me and walked towards me. "Hi, I saw you at fashion week?" "Yes, I actually recognized you!" I replied. "I had a vision of you." she said. I paused for a moment confused as she continued "God shows me visions. And I feel like I should tell the people when I see them what the visions are and I have you here now." I was still trying to process all of this, at one moment I was just bored at this event and now I'm listening to someone tell me they had a vision of me. "Are you a dancer?" she asked. "A dancer? No I mean I dance all the time in the house but I really can't dance" I joked, but she continued "I had a vision of you dancing. You were wearing all white, and it was flowing. You were smiling and really happy. You were really really happy." I was in shock and didn't said much she must have thought me rude, but I didn't know what to say back to that and all I could think of was "really?" She added "I know it can be weird if someone tells you stuff like this, someone once came up to me and was like I had a vision about you and I thought it was weird." I didn't really know what to say so I decided to randomly tell her something that had happened to me when I was younger. "No I don't think it's weird. I actually had a dream that my aunt had passed away when I was younger, and then she had actually passed away soon after that." "Oh.. so you get dreams!" she said. 

Somebody then grabbed everyone's attention on the mic and speeches started. After the speeches she shook my hand and said "it was nice meeting you." and her and her partner walked away. I left soon after that. I believe that God works through His people and that we are all connected by God. After I was saved I started meeting a lot of believers, even on set of my shoots? Where were they before? I am loving this journey and am looking forward to meeting more good friends through Christ :)
