THE GOD OF ANSWERED PRAYERS - DEJA VUE

  " ... and when it happens, it's going to feel like a deja vue." - Jeannelle 

I was desperately trying to figure out what I needed to do for my 30th birthday this year. I wanted to do something big because 30 needs to be celebrated but I kept saying to myself that I don't know enough people to make my birthday that big. I kept procrastinating on finding a hall and I think, deep down, I knew that I didn't want the big birthday I was desperately craving. 

One night in March, I remember dreaming about people I've never met. It was such an odd dream because it went by days. It wasn't scattered like dreams normally are. One day, I was at the train station talking to a clerk. Then the next day I was in a foreign country that felt very familiar. Another day, I met one person by the door between the bathroom and the hall and gave them a message and another day, I was in the ocean with a man and a woman. While we were praying, I could see water tornado spinning around us. It was getting stronger but was in no way getting close to us. I remember there were 2 buildings that I kept focusing on from a distance while I was in the water. It was such a vivid dream. When I woke up, I immediately started looking into flights out of the country. 

I had 3 major places in mind. Mexico, Saint Lucia and Barbados; But every time I searched for where to stay, it just never felt right. I was just looking and wishing I went there but I wasn't attracted to those places and I couldn't figure out why. During the month of June, I was just casually scrolling on IG and I saw a picture that triggered the memory of the dream I had and I immediately started looking for all inclusive resorts in Jamaica. In the moment, I found what I was looking for but when it came down to booking, I got a little hesitant because I was going to book a "solo" trip out of the country. I'm used to going on trips with my best friend but this time, life was happening for my best friend as well and I couldn't disturb her and I also wasn't going to ask anybody else so, I did it. I booked my trip. Though I wanted something big, I realized that I needed to do this. It felt right.

As it got closer to the trip, I started panicking a little because I've never been out of the country on my own. I have been to Jamaica before but I wasn't alone and I was young. I don't remember it much. Each time I would panic though, I would be reminded in an interesting way that I won't be alone and I'll be just fine. 

God started showing out the second I got on the train heading towards Toronto. This is how I knew I've already lived the week of 30JUN2024 - 07JUL2024. When I got to the train station, I made it there 2hrs earlier. My train was at 9:55AM and when the 8:00AM train went by, the clerk came up to me concerned and said : " I think you missed your train. At what time is yours supposed to pass?" I gave him the time and he said : "Oh okay good! because I was going to ask you to come with me so we can change your time and put you on the next train!" the second I heard him say that, I kind of twitched and I said out loud: " OMG! I'm having a deja vue!". We laughed and he went on about his day.

From the moment that happened, I begin remembering things about the day like I knew what was coming next. Wild right? 

Dear God,

Ever since I could remember, you've given me the gift of visions; And for the longest time I ran away from them because they were terrifying. I couldn't understand them and I was too self conscious about how it will be received by others. But you knew I couldn't run away forever. You knew that at some point, when I choose you, I was going to surrender fighting and begin embracing it. I thank you for giving me the clarity I asked for in the form of visions. All the Glory belongs to you.
