Yes, another post about a dream. But my experience was too amazing not to share ;)
Last night I had a dream and I was with my family. Mom, Dad, siblings, step dad and my nana and papa. I was showing them around this city. They have never been there so it was almost like I was giving them a tour of somewhere so familiar to me, like it was my home. As I was showing them certain places around the city its like each place had an important meaning or purpose on my life. Like something big had happened there. They were so amazed that I had so easily fallen in love with this place. From the filthy dirt roads and little shacks that lined the road, to every mud stained face we passed. Everything was important to me. During this trip my families lives were completely transformed. They finally understood why I had fallen in love with the place and why I had worked so hard to get back there. They understood and they supported. As I watched them take off from the long, dirt runway I realized it might be a long time till I see them again. It made me sad for a moment, but I was comforted by knowing I was exactly where God needed me to be, and I wanted to be there. As I woke up thinking about the dream I realized I recognized those dirty streets and little shacks. And all the places that were significant to me were places God had performed amazing miracles. It was Africa, and I had fallen in love with every piece of it. Maybe it was God confirming things for me, maybe He just wanted to give me a little peek into the future ;) whatever it was, it was comforting, it was a sure thing, it was a perfect fit. I seriously can't hardly wait to return to the place I left my heart last summer! This made me all the more ready and willing to work toward Next Steps 2014! It's gonna be a long 10 months.
