Mission Trinidad 2013

I just got back from my first international mission trip, and I will never be the same!!

First, let’s back up to review how, exactly, I got involved in this mission trip:

I attended a prophetic conference through Abilene’s TSSM School (Transformational School of Supernatural Ministry) in October of 2012.  At that time, I knew virtually nothing about the active gift of prophecy.  However, the man who was leading the conference called me out to speak a word of prophecy over me during the conference.  I don’t remember much about what he said, as he downloaded information at an incredibly high rate of speed.  But, what I did retain was something to this effect:

Prophetic Practice

This week, our church hosted Global Awakening for a “Keys to the Prophetic” conference.  Suffice it to say, in a really tiny nutshell, I was blown away!!  To experience the Spirit of God in such a heavy, palpable way was absolutely phenomenal!  Indescribable, really.  I’ve experienced the presence of God, but never quite like this!  As my brother so brilliantly put it, “Man, this is like cocaine, isn’t it??”

I have been so very nervous about announcing my resignation, for many reasons.  Mostly because I feel like I am well regarded in my field, and am working my way up a pretty promising career ladder.  So, I’ve been so fretful, wondering how my boss would take the news.
Well, 2 days prior to my scheduled meeting with my boss (which was today), I was driving down the road, and suddenly, for whatever reason, remembered a dream I had had many, many years ago.  The dream had left such a strong impression on my heart that I had awakened, feeling absolutely certain it was a word from the Lord.
