Let's go to Africa

5/8
Last night feelings of anxiousness started to set it as I started packing for

Uganda. I knew that it is going to be an amazing trip and God is going to be working in wonderful ways; but I just couldnʼt shake the anxiety of the unknown. I laid in bed for way to long that night, unable to fall asleep, and praying to wake up and these feelings to have subsided. Last night I had a dream. I was in Africa and my sister called me and said “Kristen you have to come over here! I just ran into Katie Davis and her youngest daughter at the well!” I excitedly ran to where she was, and sure enough there they were! I ran up to Katie and started word vomiting trying telling her what an inspiration she was to me, similar to how it went down when I met her in real life in Franklin a few months back. She then hugged me, and her daughter grabbed my hand and took me to play with her. I remember a joy and a peace in the dream. So much so that I was let down to wake up and realize it was simply a dream.

Then I realized, I didnʼt feel nervous anymore. I wasnʼt afraid. Instead I was excited. I kept replaying in my mind, her daughter taking my hand, and the reassurance that overcame me. Then I smiled to myself, the smile that always accompanies the realization “God, Youʼve done it again.”

I always dream, but Iʼve never been one to have dreams that reveal great things, in fact they never seem to make any sense, theyʼre just crazy. But this one made sense. This one aligned exactly with my thoughts and feelings, and it was exactly what I needed. regardless of the belief or unbelief that God speaks in dreams, I think most would agree this was too perfect to simply be a byproduct of my subconscious.

Ok God, Iʼm ready. Letʼs go to Africa.
