Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

So, since Monday morning I have been sick! Monday was our free day and we went to A Plus Cafe for lunch and I started getting sick. Out of pure determination...I kept on truckin! I couldn't figure out why I was so tired and crabby. We would do a couple things and I would be exhausted! When we got home...I was SPENT! Almost fell asleep in the shower! Fell asleep early! Tuesday was our first day of hairschool! I was REALLY tired after. Made it through dinner, then went upstairs and watched SoA for a couple hours! Went to sleep, woke up with horrible stomach cramps and felt worse. Layed in bed. Cancelled class. Started feeling better...decided to eat nachos...fell asleep at 8:30pm. Woke up at 10am feeling just as bad! lol. Gabi and Sue prayed for me and that I would get better and be able to teach class! Gabi encouraged me that the Holy Spirit could fill me and supernaturally give me the strength to teach class! So that gave me HOPE!! :-) I went into class fully confident that I would make it, and I DID! Praise the Lord! Today (Friday) I woke up feeling like Meghan again! YAY! I was beginning to think I was just crazy, lazy, and crabby! lol.

I have been praying a lot that God would give me insight like never before and use me. To not let me get in the way...with the way I invision how he wants to reach his people. But for him to just use me. I have been praying that just in every day to day life, I will hear him, deeply. Intrinsically. That it wouldn't neccisarily be a "i heard a voice" type of hear...but a deep stirring of my spirit. That He would give me His heart for His people. That people will see a difference in us here. That our selfish desires, motives and pride would be dead and his spirit ALIVE in us. That what He has done for us, will be a reality and bring such Joy that we just naturally share it with the people we love. That His Holy Spirit would anoint every move we make. That He would supernaturally speak to the people here. The He would comfort the girls in my class! That He would protect them from evil. That he would create deep relationships with them. That He would bring healing, restoration and FREEDOM!! :-)

So...on another note...I had a really awesome dream last night! :-) It is VERY much a Meghan dream! Lol. Ok so I had a dream that one day, I was doing normal day to day things...and I wanted mint chocolate ice cream. So all of a sudden I just knew to say "Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream" and pointed my finger and it appeared right in front of me on the table. I couldn't believe it actually worked! I started testing it and at one point I had 5 desserts in front of me! Every once in a while I would forget that I had this awesome gift...then I would remember that I could do this and be WAY excited again. At one point me and my 2 friends were sitting at a round table and it occurred..."Oh my gosh...check this out guys! 'Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream (I point at the table).'" It appeared and they were AMAZED! I let them taste it and they got even more excited! It was so cool. In the dream, or maybe even in half consciousness...I realized the confidence I was gaining in this new gift. I would ask and it was there every time. The first few times I thought it was too good to be true! Then I would try again and it would happen! My joy would grow each time it happened! Towards the end of the dream I just knew what I asked for would be given! Not in a selfish way. But that the blessing was there, the cool awesome gift was there...too good to be true or not...it was there! I had no doubts...just thankfulness and joy. I feel like that was from the Lord. Yes, your thinking, MEGHAN...ITS ICE CREAM..But, I think that is just got speaking to me through my homesickness! Lol.

I feel like He is telling me that we are given the things we ask for, freely. He has NOTHING to hold back. So I ask for salvation, restoration, and healing in each person you have that I will meet! That all six of the girls in my class: Giang, Hang, Hen, Loan, Tuyen, Phuong would know Him in the most DEEP, REAL way ever. That He will love them DEEPLY. That I will not limit Him, but expect nothing but Miracles. I was thinking about this last night...sometimes when I meet people with a really hard situation, or they are REALLY wounded, I feel too small to make a difference in their life. So rather than HOPING for them, and what God will do in their life...I lessen my expectionations and almost settle with the way they are. Now...this is WAY different than loving them where they are. That is what we are to do! Love people fully, with the love of Jesus and hope for them. Pray for them. I just think about the people in my life from the time I was born until now...who loved me fully, despite all of my weaknesses. They loved me even more during the most painful times in my life. They hoped for me. They hoped for the day that I would accept the freedom of Christ. The day that I would explore my relationship with Jesus. For the day that I would be healed of generational curses and wounds. They didn't write me off as the poor girl who was lost and a little needy! Ha! They prayed and HOPED! Genuinely hoped. Knowing that one day, those prayers would be answered. And until that day, they loved me and walked with me every step of they way! Actually, if your reading this, you are probably one of those people. Whether you meant to or not, or realize it or not. This love is what I am hoping for in Cambodia. This is what I want to pass on the the people I meet here.

So Today, I am INSPIRED! I hope you are too! Give God your requests, He will most likely surprise you! Have a loved one that really need His love, ask. Of course, we don't know the timing or God's will. But we do know that these are God's desire. God is the one who wants His children to seek Him. He will give. Freely. So, thanks God for this AWESOME dream...who knew that such depth could be spoken through Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream!! :-)

Gotta love it! Peace
