Life Seminar

This weekend we had a Life Seminar at church.  It was a full weekend but well worth it.  Pastor Jeffers from Pennsylvania came to our church and spoke at the seminar.  It was quite a lot of information to digest in one sitting- good thing we got a notebook that we can now go through slowly and chew on the information more slowly- digesting truth by truth slowly.

I also taught Sunday School this week to a group of kids from 3-8 years old.  They were a blast.  The theme of the Sunday School lesson was that God takes care of HIS people.  The story I told was the Story of Esther.  Preparing for the lesson had me thinking about what Esther went through.  Would I have been able to do what she did?  Would I have had the FAITH that she had to go the King and "rat" out Haman?  I believe I would have been very afraid- to the point of hesitant.  But she Trusted that GOD would take care of her.  I needed that reminder!

Then last night for the final session we sang that deeply touched me.  Read the lyrics below.

Rejoice in the Lord - By Ron Hamilton

God Never moves without purpose or plan

When trying His servant and molding a man

Give thanks to the Lord though your testing seems long;

In darkness he giveth a song

Chorus
Oh Rejoice in the Lord

He makes no mistake

He knoweth the end of each path that I take

For when I am tried and purified

I shall come forth as gold

I could not see through the shadows ahead;

So I looked at the cross of my savior instead

I bowed the the will of the Master that day;

Then peace came and tears fled away

Chorus

Now I can see testing comes from above

God strengthens His children and purges in love

My father knows best and I trust in His care

Through purging more fruit I will bear

Chorus

What a powerful song!  If you want to listen to it click on this link:  http://youtu.be/1iJLgasicRI
