Spiritual Mile-markers

Throughout your life as a Christ-follower, God moves in a way that sets a mark on our timeline that we look back to for encouragement and courage for those God-size dreams he places before us to accomplish. One of my mile-markers happened in Douglas, Arizona on a mission trip to Agua Prieta, Mexico back in 2002. God called me to “shepherd His sheep.” He called me to full-time ministry. As clear as day, not verbal, but God was speaking to my soul. He ‘asked’ me to give something up and called me to something great. It was a break in my routine, my focuses were refocused, for just that week and it gave me the ability to hear God’s voice.
Side note: I was sitting right where it says ‘E 4th St,’ late at night, all by myself, with a PDA in hand (I know, have issues). I remember it like it was yesterday.
I tell you all this, to tell you this: I’m going back! It is a mile-marker that I want to revisit and preserve. I’m looking to head down sometime in August, take some pictures and film a message to post here on my blog about breaking your routine and seeking God’s God-size dream for you.
I’m stoked! Want to go on a overnight trip?
