Easter Weekend
WOW! What a weekend!
It's now Wednesday and I should've written this two days ago but at least I'm writing this now.
Over the weekend, my family and I were at the Midlands Easter Conference (MEC) which I can only say went really well (for me). I'm usually quite a shy person, those that know me might disagree but I am if you stick me in a conference with tons of people whomn I know I will forget the names of and don't at all know to begin with, you might see the difference. In any case, I am actually thankful that someone stood at the front and pointed at me saying that I was the speaker's daughter and then apparantly my dad used my name in some of this talks so avoiding people was definitely not an option. Praise the Lord! On top of that, God put me in a group where everybody eventually became really open and was all crazy to begin with! It's not that I never make friends at these events but I do sometimes dread the amount of people "imposed" on me but I'm thankful to God that it was not the case.
I actually feel like God gave me more brothers and sisters during this conference and I really feel that He was teaching me so many more new things about myself and what He can and is doing in and through my life. (That was a lot of "and"s in that last sentence- I apologise for that) I'm TOTALLY excited about everything that God is doing around me. People got saved in this last conference for which I give thanks for. I also managed to have some really good conversations with various people in the camp which was encouraging to me as well as a good challenge to build on my faith. Just today, I also had a really good conversation with someone whom I've been praying for and I trust that God will work in this person's life. Please pray with me. I'd like to go into more detail but I think it would be unwise. However, if you'd like to be involved in praying for this person, please do email me or something and I love to get some prayer-reinforcements for this person. =0)
So far, I've been reading from 2 Kings. What an amazing God we serve! I wonder how people can read the Bible and miss out on what He's saying to us, though I must confess I so often read the Bible without listening.
Oh dear- so much to say but I don't want to babble on while you guys yawn and switch off. If you're from MEC and are reading this, please do keep in touch since I love being able to keep in touch with people and stuff. If you're ever in London, it would be really great to meet up as well so please do let me know.
I like the words of my dad's boss- George Verwer:
"Keep on Keeping on, in His Grace and Grip"
