but fast-forward four months and some days later, i find myself sitting on the beach, just basking in the splendor of His handiwork, with the backdrop almost exactly as my friend described it. so i continued to look through my blog for more notes of what was shared for me during these prayer meetings, and arrived at this post (again, names have been redacted, and i’m adding the underline and italics):

On Sunday and Tuesday, I had the opportunity to receive prayer. I recorded in my journal about the prayer ministry I received on Sunday, but I also want to remember the blessings God poured on me on Tuesday night.
MP was on a roll. He led us in prayer for PL – God had revealed that she suffered from occasional back pain and that perhaps [it’s] misalignment. M asked PL to stretch out her legs and sure enough, her right leg appears slightly shorter than her left leg. We pray, then M prays; we finish praying and we saw that God answered. Her legs were even.
God really worked through M for the others. When he prayed for me, he encouraged me to continue to be faithful, that because of my current faithfulness with little (hah, calling XR [XR = crossroads, the small group i co-led this past year] little is almost laughable, not that he was referring to that, but anyhow) and that I would be entrusted with more; and also that my faith in and of itself would grow. He also sensed I would receive spiritual gifts such as prophecy and tongues soon; and for this I was very thankful as I didn’t share my curiosity of and growing desire for these sorts of gifts.
Y prayed for me, and he referred to Psalm 81:10b – “Open your mouth wide; and I will fill it.”
Lord, deepen my desire for You; satisfy. Fill me that I might overflow. . .
if you’ve read my past blogs on a bit of what i had experienced at ignition training camp, maybe you too get that sense of awe. well, take that sense of awe and double it; when i consider the visions others have seen of me healing many people, prior to training camp, as well as the burden for healing the Lord placed on bev the day we as a team ATL-ed for the first time – and even recently through her study of Luke – and what ron spoke over me that day in the hospital, and it’s almost incredible.
