Revelations... Not the book

Recently I had a huge revelation about my life and who I had become. God showed it to me in a dream, well, more a nightmare really. I had become this horrible, angry, bitter, hateful person, who is not at all who I really am. Really long story short, after 2 1/2 hours of praying and reading my Bible, I'm back! I'm back to who I once was, the happy, laid-back, kind, caring me. It feels so good!! God gave me two visions, as well, in this process. The first came after I started admitting to Him everything that was messed up in my life and how I had been living for the wrong people and wrong things. It was a vision of myself, with this enormous burden on my back, and the burdens all being lifted off in layers(signifying all the anger and hatred and whatnot) until I could stand fully upright again. The second came a little after that, after I told God that I was ready and willing to give up all the friends I had who weren't good for me. Then I saw an image of all my friends from the movie theater I work at, and the theater itself, in a bubble resting in my hand. Then it started to slip through my hand and fall far, far away from me and I could hear God telling me, "That's all I've been waiting for. I've been waiting for you to tell me that you're willing to give them all up, and now that you have, I am going to do amazing things with you very soon. You won't be there much longer."

This is amazing in and of itself, but it's even more amazing because a few weeks ago I had a word spoken over me saying that I was going to do "amazing and extraordinary things for God and the people will know who I am." It also said that I "will be a prophet to the nations." There is so much more to both of these stories, but these are the main points.

I am so, so, so excited to see what God has in store for me. I'm ready to do whatever it is He has for me to do and go wherever he wants me to go. I keep getting this feeling that something big (and good) is going to happen while I'm at Disney. I don't know what, I don't even know if something big really will happen, but it's an exciting prospect. I'm just so excited about all the different possibilities that are open to me because my God is a great and mighty and awesome God.

It feels amazing to have found genuine joy in my life again, by just living for God. Sunday I'm starting on the production team at my church. Next Sunday I have the preview class for my financial planning classes. Next Monday marks the beginning of my week at Disney World. And the Sunday following the trip I start my actual classes. I'm really excited for the next couple of weeks! And on top of all that, I figured out that I should be able to go to New Hampshire in April, England in November 2010, and be completely out of debt by November 2010!!

Some very exciting times are headed my way and I plan to use this to chronicle it all. =)
