~Bridal Shower~

Wow, I never knew planning a bridal shower consisted of so much work! Preping was hard enough and then trying to get the bride to be (my friend Amanda...yes another Amanda lol) to come over with out dropping the bomb...that was even more fun! (and by fun I mean, I don't think I have ever told so many white lies in one day!)

It was so fun though and it was definitely great to bond with some great girls over homemade salsa (thanks to Tammy's recipe) and pomegrante lemonade!

I think that in planning all this bridal shower stuff God has really shown me how much I love to have people over and host little get togethers. I love trying new recipes and what better way to try them out than with a group of great friends.

I just pray that God will bless me with the things I need to have people over on a regular basis so I can bless them. I love serving people that way and I figure that if God has given me the heart to do it, then by all means I am going to take full advantage of the gift He has blessed me with!

9 more days!

Ahhh! Only 9 more days until I am Calgary bound! That is insane. Another thing that is going to be insane is this week! Packing for home and for Calgary/Studying/all the other stuff=EEK!

Anyhow I find that lately I have been dreaming alot! Some of the dreams I have been having are pretty crazy and the other ones I'm like "man that's pretty cool!". This one I had a while back was insane!

I was dreaming that I was in the Mac-Correy Cafeteria (at Queen's) and this guy (no idea who he is!) walks by me, then all of a sudden he passes out! The paramedics come running in, as well as Queen's First Aid, so I moved back to give them some room. Then God was like "Amanda I want you to get in there and pray for him". So I respond in my head "No, I can't be in the way of the paramedics God, they know what they are doing..."

But as soon as I said that the paramedics who were just about to give the guy CPR said "It's too late! He's already dead" I immediately burst into tears and fell to my kness and started begging God to bring him back and I kept pleading with Him. In that moment it seemed as though there was no one else in the room but the guy, God and I. I continued to cry out to God and the guy stood up and then I woke up!

I have been praying that God would give me wisdom about this dream and have already had many revelations about it.

But what I am finding, is that my dream is kind of relating to where I am at in my walk with God right now. In the sense that my heart has been grieving alot lately and I am noticing that God is giving me a heart for so many things lately that when I pray it is becoming a plea to God. It kind of seems as though God is showing me that if I want to see His glory I need to get on my knees and cry out to Him, which is actually an answer to prayer as I have been praying about what to do in many situations and I think that this dream was the answer I needed!

Praise God!
