I’m sitting at worship, writing…. journaling my fears of being sent home because of not meeting my fundraising goal, thanking him for my crazy busy day of getting to pour into my squad mates and speak truth into their hurts and pains. And i finally came to the question of God what’s next? Earlier that day he asked for my yes on a really hard route change and I willingly gave it. He asked for my yes but was he just asking for my yes to see my obedience or was he asking because that’s what is in store for me? I don’t know, I still don’t know what’s next. As I was pondering, praying, asking questions my squad mate Maddie walks over and sits next to me and says I want to give you this, I look down and it’s a note then she lays something else down…. it’s a key that says “dream”. I cried, this whole last month in Bolivia God was showing me how to dream again. That it’s ok for me to want things, to have dreams for my life! It’s been a powerful month. She told me the story behind the key, how it was her friend’s who had done the race 9 years ago. On the last months of her friends race she very clearly got a vision a “dream” of starting a non profit. She came back from her race and started that non profit and still runs it today. 2 years ago she gave the key to Maddie telling her that although she didn’t know it her dream was the race even. Maddie is in month 5 of her race now.  She sat and told me she knew she was suppose to give her key away at debrief but didn’t know to who till I told her about a conversation my mom and I had about me learning to dream. Maddie said in that moment she knew the Holy Spirit told her they key was for me. And that God wants me to dream my dreams with Him and when I have my dreams in hand pray and pass it on to the next person! 

 
After I cried and hugged her I looked back at my journal and the last words I wrote before Maddie came over was God what’s next? I don’t know for sure if it will be to spend month 11 on the race with my squad walking the Camino in Spain (SURPRISE plot twist) or going home early to start my family, my ranch or to travel back to Peru!(ps in this month of learning to dream those are the 3 dreams God showed me I wanted)  I’m not sure, but God says to dream so let’s see what next!
