This is Part 2 of a week long ministry trip I took to New York then Texas. Read Part 1 HERE

Monday October 16, 2023, the day after I was in New York for a ministry trip with a primarily Slavic community, I was due to go straight to Israel. Less than a week before my flight to New York however, war broke out in Israel. As things were shifting, I felt led to go to Texas instead for a ministry engagement I had previously said I was unable to do because I would be in Israel. Once that trip got cancelled, Texas opened up in more ways than one. And I had the most epic of adventures.

Finding Waves in Texas! Waco, Texas

When I was trying to figure out where to go after New York, I realized I had a free day before my next ministry assignment near Austin, Texas. The week before this trip, I had been running hard and had completed two manuscripts for upcoming books at the same time. I knew the days in between New York needed to include rest and hopefully fun. I finally decided to just head to Texas a day early to rest there rather than linger in New York or try to make another stop on the way.

After I made that decision, I looked into the possibility of driving to the Waco Surf park that Tuesday to get some waves since it has been a long time dream for me to get to visit and ride waves there. There were no open sessions that day and there was also no way to get my bodyboard there so that was a no-go. Two days before I was flying out to New York, I texted my bodyboard friends to see if they wanted to paddle out at Newport Beach the day before my flight. One replied that she was resting and getting ready for her trip to Waco Texas the next week. I told her I would also be in Texas. Then, God began to align the stars perfectly for a dream of mine to come true.

Their bodyboard trip was that same time I would be there so it looked like I might just be able to overlap with them. I was able to miraculously book a session that Monday afternoon and I also changed my flight into Texas to be earlier that following Monday so I could make an afternoon session at the wave pool and be able to join my bodyboard friends for their final few sessions that evening. I was even able to drop off my bodyboard and gear off at my friend’s house that Thursday before I flew out to New York.

And, even with just 2 hours of sleep following a night of ministry in New York and then heading to Waco, I had the best time. It was so epic to be there! Double barrel wave with launch pad, rolling Trestles wave, even the Wedge wave where I pulled in and got an epic barrel first time. I got to ride with my friends who just happened to be doing a trip at the exact same time I had already decided to come to Texas a day early and in the same place where God redirected me to when my trip to Israel got canceled. I even got to ride on my own board. You can’t make these things up!

God knows me so well and arranged for me to happen to be led to come to Texas at the exact same time as my friends were taking a bodyboarding trip to the Texas Waco wave pool. Only God could prearrange redirecting me to Texas at this exact time and even setting it up so my friend could bring my board with her on the trip. I am so grateful for the beautiful provision of the Lord to give us our hearts desires. I am so grateful for the ways we run hard after God and then those divine moments that He orchestrates to bring things together perfectly to bless us specifically in the desires of our hearts.

David Diga Hernandez Ministries: Round Rock, TX

The next day I rested and prepared for my next ministry assignment coming up. Then that Wednesday, I had the huge honor to partner with one of my favorite ministries David Diga Hernandez Ministries by ministering to his team of interns. There were 18 total and I released my Less than 20 message. The Holy Spirit crashed in and marked many with His fire and love. All were on their knees or laid prostrate under the heavy weight of God’s presence. It was a time to remember.

Was so amazing hanging out with some generals of the faith in Texas. In the above picture you will find me chilling with Aimee Semple McPherson, Kathryn Kuhlman, Billy Graham, Smith Wigglesworth, David Diga Hernandez, Stephen Moctezuma, and Benny Hinn to name a few!

After a short break following my session with David’s interns, I got to film some episodes about women healing evangelists in his studio which was super fun. These will eventually be on his new streaming platform called Numa. Another dream come true to partner with one of my favorite ministries. David has a value for revival history, honors the Holy Spirit, and is teaching this generation how to walk with Holy Spirit. I was so incredibly blessed to partner with him at his new base in Texas.

Mansfield, TX

From Austin, I next went to Mansfield, Texas back to Freedom Life church led by my friend Steve Pixler. I was there in May and God birthed something special so it was an honor to be back and continue in the momentum. We did an encounter night Friday and then I got to share about The Oil on Sunday. God crashed in and released His healing love. I also got to see some of the School of Revival family who live nearby which is always a treat.

Who would have known that there was a week of epic intersections prepared for me in Texas when I already had a ticket to Israel. While my heart breaks for what is happening over there now, I am so grateful for the divine redirections the Lord gave me this past week. Thank you all for praying and supporting me on my adventures with the Holy Spirit and seeking to lead people into greater depths of His glory.
