Before I Lie Down Tonight


Did you know that Dar es Salaam means "Haven of Peace". God calmed any fears I had of traveling "home" a long time ago. I am at peace with this experience. I cannot imagine what I will encounter. But God has already marked it as a life-changing experience worth having.

I am laying it all on the altar and getting ready to enjoy the experience. I think I have purchased everything I could to make the plane ride--almost 20 hours of flying time--yikes...tolerable...but once there...it wont even matter.

I can't wait to share my first photos of the first moments I am there.

I am so glad that you had the opportunity to have this experience, and that you were blessed to hear the Lord open and impart to you your destiny, and your purpose on earth, and that you are responsible enough to desire to achieve it. Also i'm glad that the Lord has answered my prayers along with others for your safty, and your return.
I encourage you to follow and walk out your destiny, you have a precious gift of impartation, and as you utilize the gift that God has blessed you with, it will make room for you and open doors you never could imagine.
As the words of one of the apostles to remember"Humble thyself before the mighty hand of God that he may exalt you in due season," and as in the words of David"Lift up your heads O ye gates and even be ye lifted up ye everlasting doors and the King of Glory shall come in who is this King of Glory the Lord strong and mighty the Lord mighty in battle He is this King of glory."
Craig as the Lord uses you in your profession as a teacher, you are a gateway and a doorway to impart knowledge, wisdom, understanding and truth, which is a principle thing, and thats a precious gift to teach. My friend be blessed, and be encouraged.
