As I drove into The River Church for the first time on Sunday evening, August 21, 2011, I knew I was driving into destiny.  Revival for bible school was to start the morning of August 22, 2011 and I wanted to get a glimpse of what was to come.  God had been preparing me all of my life for His work but I didn’t realize it until a few months prior when I heard about the River Bible Institute.  I had no plans to attend bible college, I worked for a banking corporation for over 7 years here in Florida and prior to that I worked for an entertainment company in New York City.  The Lord spoke to my heart back in March of this year and told me to quit my job because I didn’t belong there but I didn’t have a clue at that time where He was leading me.  As I prayed and was seeking direction, the Lord started showing me the River Bible Institute and opened the doors for me to attend.

In these past three weeks I have realized that life is not what it appears to be, there is so much more that I need to learn and understand.  I’ve realized that the Lord loves us very much; we were made in His image and purchased with a price.  God doesn’t desire anyone to be lost, sick or in despair, He wants to show us the way and Jesus is the only way.

And guys, we check out at this point. There’s no parallel to that feeling of being kicked from the inside, not gas, not angina, not heartburn, nothing can take the place of that.
