Dreaming...

First, thank you all again for reading. It really helps to further process thoughts by talking to all of you. If I might not seem so excited/thankful, it's probably because I'm not good at showing appreciation for words of affirmation. However, I appreciate it deeply nonetheless.

Anyways, earlier in the past week (incidentally when I was trying to study), God reminded me of the Moravain movement. I don't think I can do the story complete justice here, so if you aren't familiar with it, look it up for sure, it's an incredible story. But, the general gist goes like this. During the 18th century, a group of refugees (later known as the Moravians) came together and were baptized by the fire of the Holy Spirit.Desiring to keep the fire going, they started a non-stop prayer vigil that lasted

Most randomly good day... Ever.

I'm still somewhat reeling from the events of today, and I will most certainly be processing them as I go. It all started around 9:58 last night, when my friend messaged me, asking if I wanted to attend a sunrise worship event the following day. I saw 'sunrise' and 'worship' so I was totally on board. Next morning, I got into a different friend's (honestly, more like an acquaintance at the time) car, not knowing what to expect, and not really knowing where I was going either. Let it be noted, I am NOT recommending getting in a car with a friend of a friend, and not knowing where you're going. It may not always end well. But anyways, we get to a beach where there are a few more people waiting for us.

We all stood on the beach, and watched the sun rise. It was a beautiful sky, not many things around to obstruct our view, so we could see what felt like almost the whole sky. Not a single cloud anywhere to be seen. Just... Amazing. It was all so simple, and that was the beauty in it. We started worshipping as the sun continued to rise, and it was great. After that, the man who lead us in worship brought out two rolls of paper. One of them was an old map of the College of William and Mary, and the other was a copy of the charter.
