It was one of the most normal(ish), mundane encounters in my world at that time, but in the grand scheme of things, it was a monumental shift in the spirit realm. It was the beginning of a new trajectory that I am still walking in today. You wouldn't have known it at first, but God sure did. On Saturday, July 12, 2014, I went to work at my bartending gig as usual to serve at a private event.
