One of My Greatest Experiences with God: During Spring Break of 2000, a friend and I went to the Arkansas river to camp out. We had several major decisions to make in our lives and we were compelled to get in a tent and to begin a season of prayer and fasting. Going into the third day of seeking God’s face, the Holy Spirit began to fill the tent around 1:00am. With clarity he spoke to my heart his will in my life. I couldn’t stay in the tent anymore. I busted out of the tent and began running around the camp site with laughter, shouting and joy. I know the Campers around us thought we were crazy or drunk but I was filled with divine determination and direction from God. That weekend I met my wife. Praise be to the King.
