Dreaming of Mawa

So I was seriously wigging out over the weekend. Even though I am incredibly excited, I’m sure you can understand why I might be a touch apprehensive about this impending move. But my feelings began to change Sunday, culminating in a dream I had a last night. I'm not usually one to look for God's words in dreams but it’s hard to ignore when it happens so clearly.

In the dream, I was in Sudan, in bed, getting ready to go to sleep. Then out of nowhere, Mawa, the guy who runs e3 security, comes into my room and has his leopard sit on my bed. I say something like "Hey Mawa, is it safe to have the leopard sitting on my bed while I sleep. I mean, might it try to kill me?" Mawa says "Don't worry, it's fine." And somehow that was enough for me to relax and just forget about the leopard potentially eating me in my sleep.

Mawa doesn't have a leopard in reality, but this guy is hardcore and legit. He was in the special forces unit of the South Sudan military and his job during the war was to get captured by the North, get sent to prison, escape and relay coordinates for bombing. He's the one guy we want to have in our corner if things go seriously bad. Fortunately Mawa likes us, loves Jesus and apparently is now being featured in my dreams to impart wisdom. Take with that what you will. But I'm just further convinced that God is in control and as such I can relax.
