So back to my decision as I was living, uh, what my mom, Mama. Back in the year 2000. And so I got a call from a job that I had applied to, and they wanted to offer me a position. So I was going to think about it. I think I told her I would think about it or they were saying they were gonna let me know, because they were choosing between me and another person. But I just knew in my spirit that they were gonna choose me. I don’t know how I knew that. I just knew it. I was like, oh, they’re gonna choose me.
One day I was standing on the side of my mom’s house and there was thunder and lightning. I just heard the voice of the Lord through that and He said, this is not where you should be, in Houston right now. This is not where I want you. I just knew it. I knew that I could not accept that job and that I needed to go to divinity school.
Sometimes, God does speak in lightning and thunder. I remember the prophet Elijah, and he was on the side of a mountain. He was running from Jezebel, the evil queen who was married to King Ahab, and she wanted to kill all God’s prophets, and Elijah was the major prophet of that time and, and he was wanting to hear God’s voice. He heard God in a still, small voice.
However, God’s voice does come through thunder and it does come through lightning. I heard God’s voice through this thunderstorm and I knew that I needed to go to divinity school. I was afraid. I’m like, Ooh, I’m not staying here. So I called the job up, and I was like, look, I’m gonna make another choice. I’m gonna go back to school.
