I said all my goodbyes and tied up loose ends, for the most part. Got in the car with my mom and sister and headed to Atlanta. Yesterday I reunited with the squad and we’ve already begun! I could barely sleep last night. I think I dreamt of adventures and possibilities. Maybe I am a little too excited!
I often times feel like my dreams have meaning. In a memorable moment of my evening, I was camping out with my squad and we saw an asteroid shower (it was like hot balls of burning coal falling from the sky in a fast and beautiful way.) Then I guess we had some enemies on a higher ground than us and there was confusion about whether they had thrown these fire balls at us. I think maybe it means that we were questioning if God did this or humans. We knew it was God because people don’t make fireballs and we knew what we saw. But why did we question?
After being at the parent launch, my mom asked me, are there things you don’t want to know while gone? I first didn’t even understand. She asked, “if your cat hasn’t come to the house in two weeks, do you want to know?” among other things. It’s weird to think of asking someone to withhold information from you. I requested no gossip, but aside from that I didn’t quite get it.
We will soon be fasting from social media, but today as a hurricane seems to be hitting my home, it feels weird to not have any business with it. It’s the beginning of living a life apart from all I’ve ever known.
Yesterday we were given keys (#keysforthejourney). Each key was prayed over asking God to give a prophetic word for each one intentionally chosen for us. The keys vary a LOT, from a scripture to a short two words or one. The deal with the keys is that this is something you want to grow in/walk in, and once you feel that you’ve had breakthrough in that area, you pray for God to reveal who to pass the key on to. Then you share your story/testimony with the hashtag I got “FAITH” and I know this may sound basic to you, but for me it’s the perfect word. Anyone close to me knows I’ve struggled with my faith. This struggle has lead to identity issues which I’ve been working through. The value of our worth was settled at the cross. My Lifegroup knows my faith issues and have been praying with me. I look forward to my breakthrough and growth of confidence in who God is, who God says I am, and what God will do!
