Everyone who knows DreemPort, and knows the Captain, understands the heart that drives everything with DreemPort : True connection.
Since 2000, I have been trying to get dreemers together - sharing meals, laughing, hugging, staying up WAY too late, crashing from exhaustion and starting it all over the next day. But for one reason or another - my plans have always been overturned. Yes, a few of us still met over the years!- but it wasn't usually what I had originally planned.
I feel like my plans are always SO detailed and well thought out. So much preparation goes into them - so it breaks my heart when they don't work out. But I always know that God's ways are always better.
At the time of the drawing with the Ultimate Quill cards, I think we had about 30 people who were eligible for the drawing to come to Mauritius to meet some of the Dreem Teem - but many of them were not able to get their passports in time, and opted to drop out of the drawing. So we ended up with 6 total who were holding their breath - hoping they dug the #1 tile in the Treasure Hunt to win the opportunity to come on the trip.
We did indeed get them - @amiegeoffrey and @emrysjobber won . But as I stated in the title - once again - our plan to bring 2 people to meet the Dreem Teem is just not able to stay that way anymore.
I suppose it's not that sad of a decision, though. We won't be bringing 2. Instead we will be bringing all 6. @dwixer, @ibbtammy, @balikis95 and @kenechukwu97. You guys ready to come hang out with Dreem Teem for a week in Mauritius? I thought you might be!!! lol 😆😆😆😜☠️🏴☠️
Right after we had that drawing - I was ecstatic for Amie and Emrys! Like unbelievably - over the top - freaking out!!! But then I saw the other 4 people - whose excitement had turned to pure joy for their friends, and I felt the pain of their loss. They were all SO GENUINELY happy for the two that won - but for me??? the joy was mixed with sadness for the others. I thought... oh... this feels terrible. I immediately prayed, "God... is there some way.... anyway.... for a miracle??? I don't have any way to bring all six of them - but I know You can do this, if You want."
All I can say is - God heard. Answered. We got our miracle.
I'm pretty glad my plan didn't work out. God's plans are always better. True... sometimes they don't feel that way. BUT - Sometimes they are beyond what we can imagine and the blessings are absolutely overwhelming!!!
That's the feeling now! hehehe
