It was all a Dream! It is hard to say goodbye

Dream 

I am going to tell you a Dream

That will make you laugh and cry 

But make sure God gets the glory 

 

It was all a dream,

I used to be at home in my bed

Now I am finishing the race 

Where did the time go? 

 

The dreams start with a taste

A taste of reality

Would we stay in the comforts of home?

Or would we go out and share the truth during a pandemic 

We all answered that question with a yes, send me I will Go!

Send me, I Go, Send me, I Go

 

Awake Awake Awake time has passed 

Guatemala has arrived 

A Welcome Party from our host 

Eating together as a family with our green sauce on the side

Making memories that will last for a lifetime

They say that a family that prays together, stays together 

Unified together as one, as one of us gets Covid

Allows us to share our testimony and pray together

EK for life baby 

 

Awake Awake Awake 

Dominican Republic has arrived

Where did the time Go?

Where is my team EK? 

No more, no more 

Welcome team Girls on Fire

Knocking the doors down with Beautify for Ashes events

Playing the monkey song over and over until we get monkey brains 

Eating like a Daniel in the presence of the king but we want more 

Sharing the gospel on long prayer walks and wishing for more time 

Where did the time go? Where did the time go?

Mestia, Mestia, Play uno with the Kids, Johny still waiting, still waiting will we take a ride from him?

Wow Girls on fire are alive and well! 

 

Awake Awake Awake 

Kyrgyzstan has arrived 

Where did the time go?

Where is my team Girls on Fire?

No more, No more, No more 

Welcome to team Fillup 

Who would have known a Yurt can be turned into a house of prayer

Or that it is a possibility to get naked before the Lord

Hearing the Lord say do you trust me in the middle of the wilderness.  

Refusing to run away from a teammate who has Covid 

Staying in isolation as quarantine queens who will never be forgotten 

Experiencing Covid was horrible but at least I did not have to do it alone.

Team Fillup was there to hold it all together,  I will not miss mooning Mondays 

Where did the time go?

Awake Awake awake 

Now the dream has come alive 

No more Dreaming it’s a reality 

Saying Goodbye is one of the hardest things I will have to do.

Goodbye to the reality of living with 20 plus people day to day

Goodbye to the endless amount of feedback 

Goodbye to I Squad. 

Good thing we are only saying see you later.

Because we know the end of the story 

 

My encouragement that leave you with, I Squad, 

Since you know the end of the story

Don’t be afraid to tell everyone you know. 

God will come back 

There is a Heaven and Hell

Jesus came to die for our sins 

We need to repent and turn to him

Keep sharing the truth because it will set the captive free 

You are loved and will always be remembered in my heart.
