"And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions." Joel 2:28

Today during class, I know I should have been paying attention, but I think I had my first vision from God.  (at least from what I remember/recognize).  I have been thinking a lot about my future and whatnot.

When my team was preparing for Peru, we would have meetings and prayer & worship times and members of my team would see visions of our trip.  I kept thinking, “dude, I’m the one in love with Peru here… why am I not getting these visions??”  It was a little upsetting at first, but I tried not to let it bother me too much because I knew God had me going to Peru for a reason.

Today during class I was kind of not really thinking about anything, or if I was, it was about the Human Genome Project which we were going over in class. But the next thing I know, I am seeing myself holding this little African girl who is very sick and has no one to care for her.  Where in the world did this come from??  I mean I loved Botswana and everything, but I do not feel that my life calling is to be there.  I think Africa is a great place and it was a life changing experience going there, but I have no real worldly desire or passion to go back.  (as I wrote this, it hit me with the fact that this is a worldly desire, and not a Godly desire. They are so not the same thing!) But with me feeling this way, why would I have a vision like this?

The World Race every year goes to at least one African country. (Of course I would make it come to this because I have been thinking about the World Race a lot too).  

Maybe this was a vision of my future. 

Back to Africa again.
