Time in Thailand brought a lot of things, among those things were a lot of dreams. In my previous post (click here to read it), I talked about a girl who said she had no dreams. This launched my heart into a wild place.

I started seeing life different.

I started seeing people different.

I started dreaming again.

I started not only dreaming my own dreams, but partnering with others in prayer over their dreams.

I felt a call to ministry at 17, at Mission Lake Christian Camp, my summer home, which I’ve written a few blogs about (click here, here, and here to read them). Everyone around me wanted me to go to school for graphic design because I was gifted with creativity and art. And yet, I knew in my heart it wasn’t my calling. I wanted to serve God, but wanted to design. I never thought the two could really partner and merge together. I went to school for graphic design, though I fought a lot on the final decision.

A lot of people have asked me: What are you doing when you get back?

My answer right now is this: I don’t know.

On the train from Bangkok to the Malaysia border, at around 3:00 a.m., I woke up in my sleeping car bed because I was hot. But really, God woke me up to tell me a message.

I’d fallen asleep with my earbuds in, listening to my “GO DO BIG THINGS” playlist on Spotify. It’s mostly worship music, but I’d also put on a few others songs that are Kingdom-minded/related. I woke up right at a break between two songs. God’s so intentional, it’s just a beautiful thing to be so known and loved.

As soon as the opening notes fell on my ears, I knew it was A Million Dreams from The Greatest Showman. A smile crept across my face and I couldn’t stop smiling. If you know the song, you know it starts with PT Barnum singing as a kid, and then as an adult, and then with his wife singing these lines:

However big, however small
Let me be part of it all

Share your dreams with me
You may be right, you may be wrong
But say that you’ll bring me along
To the world you see
To the world I close my eyes to see
I close my eyes to see

Everything for me changed at the moment I heard this song that night (morning?). I had no idea what I wanted to do when I got back, other than ministry. God spoke to me through this song, which seems so funny to be typing, but it’s true. When those specific lines came on, it was God telling me that whatever my dreams are, He wants me to invite Him into them and maybe even…He has a million dreams and wants to invite me into them. EITHER WAY…how beautiful is it that I get to partner with God in His dreams and my dreams?!

Another song that came on shortly after was “Done Being Afraid” by Here Be Lions (click here to give it a listen). Here are a few lines from the song:

We’re moving out of shadows
We run straight to the battle
We’re gonna rise up
And roar like a lion

So…big things coming this month, the months following, and upon returning home. That much has already been promised. For now, I’m just dreaming and partnering with Jesus.

This is where you, the reader of this blog, comes in. I want to tell you something. Actually, God wants to tell you something, I’m just get to be the messenger.

GOD HAS DREAMS FOR YOU AND HE WANTS TO PARTNER WITH YOU ON THEM.

So pray on that, and let me know how I can partner with you in prayer over those dreams!
