– Logan’s note from The Awakening
So I received this note from one of my dearest friends on the Gap P squad. If you ever met Logan, you would know he has a huge heart for those around Him. During one of the nights at our Awakening in Ecuador, the worship team had a really awesome worship set lined up and cool prayer stuff to go with it. I was really pumped and so ready to dig into what was going to happen. While this session was going on, I had already felt so much freedom that the Lord has provided me from the night before from just worshiping with my whole heart and dancing and smiling and singing so loud. I was sitting there during our activation of how we view God and Logan came up to me and said “This is for you”. I sort of stared at it and was like “Haha, uh, okay!” So I read it and thought, “Well what the heck does this mean”, “What is the Lord trying to say to me?”. I pondered on it a while and couldn’t get it off my mind and also, kept like making up things in what it might mean. At first I thought it had something to do with my future and what the Lord has been calling me into and then I was like “Yeah, no. YOU THOUGHT!”. Butttt now that I have processed this note along with other words from the Lord, he has certainly revealed to me what he is trying to tell me. The Lord lately has been leading me into what my future might look like and giving me more clarity and peace about my future. Basically, He has been telling me that He has carved out my future in every perfect way and has set the best things in front of me.Me, being a super indecisive person, can never choose what I want to do. I have always centered my thoughts and opinions on what others around me have told me, but God finally has pushed me out of that on my Race. He literally has set this door in front of me,knowing that I am just going to knock at it, but I never actually try to open it. Realizing that it isn’t going to open on it’s own, I literally have to open it myself and enter with my freedom and peace surrounding me. The Lord is so so faithful. He has planted these dreams inside of me and has engraved values and trust inside of me that will help me go down the right path that he has put in front of me. I’m so thankful for friends like Logan and teammates to encourage me to continue to follow my dreams and I am thankful for the Lord for his goodness.
