These past few months God has been teaching me to dream again and to dream with him, because our dreams are important to him. In the beginning of March as many of you know, I came back to YWAM Montana to be apart of a dance touring company. The first month we spent on the base rehearsing and just seeking God's heart for the dance tour. (I posted our promo video on my page if you haven't gotten a chance to check it out you should) The first month on base is when God started pulling on my heart reminding me of the dreams that I had but pushed away. I remember sitting in the studio asking God what He wanted to show me through the time of the dance tour and He said this, "Monica this is a time when I want to show you things about yourself that you didn't know, I want to stretch you and teach you to walk in confidence of who I created you to be, most of all I want you to dream with me again, to let your heart and imagination go free and wild, That's what I created you to do, I will bring back the dreams you have forgotten about." And that's what He did. Every place we went on tour I would have a conversion with someone about there dreams and what it was to dream with God.
The whole time during tour I felt like I was standing on an edge of a cliff, looking down and seeing nothing, it seems as though it goes on forever. I felt like God wanted me to jump, to trust in Him that he would catch me, to trust him with my everything dreams and all included. Behind me was all of my past, the journey I have been walking though the past few years I don't want to go backward but it seems so scary to jump. See it would be comfortable to just stay right there not to jump and just wait But He was calling be to a new place asking me if I would trust Him to catch me, The thing is that he would still love me if I didn't jump, He would just sit down right next to me and wait patiently. Its such a beautiful thing to jump, to say yes to Him, to trust Him. needless to say I jumped and he caught me and he took my dreams and held them for me.
God did so many amazing things on tour I saw girls come to realize that they are loved by God and that they are not there past. I saw homeless men feel loved for the first time, I saw youth realize that they can use there gifts and talents for God, I saw people literally run to the foot of the cross and I saw that dance can really change the atmosphere. Dance is healing, its redemptive and its the forefront of the battle. Most of all I saw my dreams be restored and come into place. So don't be afraid to dream again with God even if these dreams are thrown in the back and have dust on them, ask Him what it looks like to dream with him, because it is a beautiful thing.
What am I doing next?
Funny you should ask! About 2 years ago I first cam to YWAM Montana for the summer programs and fell in love with it. God did some amazing things in my life and I was able to use dance in missions! after I had always dreamed about staffing it, low and behold I am going to be staffing the summer of Dance this year!! I am so excited to come along side young people who have never experienced missions before and champion them in the Lord. There are about 9 students in the dance program and about 36 students in the entire program, there is also Summer of Music, Summer of Sports, and Summer of Architect. It is going to be an amazing summer. Please pray that God would encounter these students and they would all have a life changing experience with the Lord. I will be posting little updates on my page as time goes on. Thank you!!
