After all these years, You haven't disappointed me. I wish that I could do the same to You, but unfortunately, I still succumb to the temptations of the evil one, sometimes--particularly, when my sufferings become unbearable.
But, thanks to You, through one of your gifted lay servant preacher at the conference, I was reminded again to accept my cross as a positive (+) sign or blessing from my Savior Jesus Christ, and to carry my cross with the joy, peace and love of a faithful disciple of my Lord, in order to multiply (x) my blessings and bring more people closer to Jesus in the Charismatic Renewal, so that they can experience His healing, the outpouring of Your charisms and how to beat the doldrums and be truly alive!
So, did I miss the fireworks, barbecue or fun at the beach over the weekend? Not, really! With less than four hours of sleep the night before, I was on fire with my brothers and sisters in our music ministry singing praising songs to the Lord and enjoying the freedom to worship my Savior in this blessed country of ours, while emceeing for Jesus.
