Selena Gomez A month ago while I was in the car I saw a billboard and from a distance I thought it was Selena Gomez. Immediately I thought it was so strange because it wouldn’t make sense for there to be a billboard of Selena Gomez in Pa. As we got closer I saw that it wasn’t Selena but a young Latina girl smiling so big with her head slightly back and her eyes shut. There was something about the encounter I knew was important and I felt the Lord wanted to tell me something about Selena Gomez. Then when I got home on Facebook her page just popped up on my newsfeed which I felt was random because I don’t follow or listen to her music at all.
The repetition alerted me to know the Lord was about to speak. When I asked the Lord what he wanted to share he told me to go back to the billboard. The person on the billboard was a young Latina girl. The lord reminded me of the documentary she did on Netflix called “Living Undocumented”. I felt the Lord saying she was going to continue doing work with immigration but in a way that was completely different then what she has done in the past. Something about the billboard stuck out to me and I couldn’t shake the face of the little girl on the billboard. Then I saw Selena creating a performing arts school for underprivileged Latina girls. Creating a direct bridge from young girls immigrating and giving them a life changing experience. I saw there being a few reasons why this passion was so deep.
One being the connection to her own story, heritage and identity. Another being her desire to create legacy and create an avenue of all of her passions and utilize her gift of teaching. I saw her having a big hand in the school and not just being a part of board of directors but actually coming and teaching the classes when she can and I saw her teaching a dance class. I saw her really creating a deep bond and eco system with this school and students. This has been something that has been heavy on her heart but she wasn’t sure when to act on it. The reason I felt a strong push to write and post this word from God was because of the timing of when she should begin. Now of all times with the pandemic it seems like it wouldn’t be a good time to start something like this. I feel in my Spirit that the time is now and that it is a ESTHER 4:14 moment. I saw the school expanding and I didn’t just see it in the U.S but i saw it in Spain and possibly Paris as well.
