When I got back home late Friday night, I told Annah everything God had been putting on my heart during my trip. I let her know that I would be asking God for more clarity on everything, but to be prepared for some major change in our lives. For the next week I was just asking God to speak to me. Piece by piece, He started painting the picture for me. Every sermon, devotional, conversation with mentors, song, even the daily bread flip calendar on my desk provided one bit of confirmation after another. The biggest smack in the face came on that next Friday. I was sitting at my desk and I felt this nudge to call Matt (one of the guys from YWAM). He answered the phone and asked, “What’s up?” I replied, “I have no idea, I just felt like the Holy Spirt was prompting me to call. Has God been putting anything on your heart?” Matt started laughing and said, “That’s awesome and crazy! I’ve been meaning to call you but I didn’t want you to think I was weird or something. That first night… during that worship service… I felt the Holy Spirt single you out in the room and say “This relationship is important to Me and you two will be seeing more of each other.” And ever since you left, my wife and I have been praying for you and your family every morning and evening. So what’s going on?” He asked.
The calling was crystal clear… we were being called to sell everything, leave our jobs and take our family to Montana for Discipleship Training School (DTS) in January 2019.
So that’s what we did. We sold EVERYTHING, went down to one vehicle, sold our house, left our jobs and drove 1500miles (during winter) to see where this call was leading our family.
