I Had a Dream—And It Changed Everything

Have you ever had a dream that felt like more than just a dream? Like God was speaking in symbols, showing you something you couldn't see in your waking life?A few weeks ago, after the passing of ne of the Mothers from my church, I had one of those dreams. And when I unpacked it with divine interpretation, everything shifted. My next season, my business, my calling—it all became crystal clear.In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain and sharing:✨ The Dream: A school cafeteria, a brutally honest special needs boy with Lysol, my brother sweating and demanding air, and my sister in law with teal blue curls that were formed but not yet combed out.✨ What God Revealed: The cafeteria represented my old job (the one I got fired from in April). The boy with Lysol was God purifying what had gone stale. The hallway I walked through with my husband —where he kept saying "Not Yet"—was the threshold season I'm in right now. And my sister in law's teal blue curls? That's my business, my books, my podcast—work that's been FORMED but not yet fully REVEALED.✨ Why This Matters for YOU: If you've been waiting for a sign, wondering if your season is coming, or asking God "what's next?"—this episode is your confirmation. Dreams are invitations. God is showing you the blueprint. The question is: will you build it?✨ What's Coming in Season 4: I'm stepping into my calling as an AI educator, creative coach, and voice for those who are afraid of technology but know they need to embrace it. With my IT degree, my work as a special needs educator, and my creative entrepreneurship, I'm uniquely positioned to teach—and I'm ready.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL HEAR:The full dream and its prophetic symbolismHow God uses purification (the Lysol moment) to free us from what's expiredWhy "Not Yet" doesn't mean "Never"—it means divine timingWhat teal blue curls represent (creativity, communication, and calling)The scripture (Habakkuk 2:2)My declaration over Season 4 and the movement we're building togetherCALL TO ACTION:📞 Call or text the Just Lori Listener Line: 872-262-7418Tell me:Have you had a dream that felt like more than just a dream?What's YOUR "teal curl moment"—the thing that's formed but not yet revealed?What are you waiting on God to say "Now" about?With your permission, I might share your message in a future episode.
