Let's go SHOP

Hello world, (or, the 13 people in my class)

Though I wasn't able to attend another church this week, I would really like to as soon as possible. It seems that it would be a very awesome experience.

This weekend, most of the leadership team was gone on the retreat for college group, so I was asked to be there and make sure everything ran smoothly. I really wanted to go to a church during this week, but with the grand opening of "Better Than Mama's," it just didn't happen.. there is so much work to be done!

So, I will do this assignment as soon as I can.

I do want to say that I spent a good year or so going to Salem House of Prayer (SHOP) on Friday nights with my mentor at the time, Daniel Dixon, as a freshman in high school. For those who don't know, this is a very Holy Spirit, charismatic focused church. It was very, very, beneficial for me to see this side of things, growing up in a more "in the middle" environment. I learned so much there about the manifest Holy Spirit, and I experienced Him for myself. I received prophesies which have continually been relevant in my life from there, I saw word pictures for the first times there, and I also believe I received that baptism of the Holy Spirit in my time of going there. There was a time when Daniel and I left because every single person was speaking in tongues for someone, and it didn't feel right to him and genuinely made him angry. So, I would say that sometimes it was taken to far. Yet, overall, I believe that God was using that place for His glory.

Peace!
