Sad... Today was the last day. Feel sad that I won't be able to attend Rhema Bible School anymore. I really enjoyed the 3 days there and I look forward to studying there next time. I really want to join up when the new school year starts in August. Thats when Lynette would be joining. But I have to finish up my school. I guess its a way of learning discipline? I believe that next time when I'm serving God, there'll be lots of things that God would want me to do and I'll have to be obedient no matter how I feel... Watched a video with Kenneth Hagin Junior speaking about practical aspects of serving in the ministry. He said its not as just reading and studying God's Word. It means being available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to serving God's people. And he went on to talk about all the negative (realistic) aspects of serving in the ministry. I wasn't turned off by it. I feel that if God calls me, He'll help me get through all those times.

::: Verse of the Day :::
'But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.' | 2 Corinthians 12:9 |


Felt God speaking to me when Patsy Carmaneti was sharing about the presence of God. I was asking Him 'what happened to the people who just wanted to experience your presence? What happened to just spending time with God and seeing Him do miracles and seeing people slain in the Spirit?' I saw all this when I was a young boy. Why don't I see it anymore? What happened to the carefree, unashamed display of love to God? Why am I asking all these questions? You knew of His goodness too. Ask yourself, daryl...
I feel that something needs to be done about this. Thought about church camp. Need to air my thoughts. I'll talk to Andy about it tomorrow.
