Spent two weekends away from home.. one for work and the other for leisure.. It was a good break from work to be able to get away and enjoy great fellowship with friends, share testimonies of God's goodness.. eat, sleep and be merry.. definitely a weekend of rest.. together with the sun, sea, me and of course, my Lord who was there every single moment..

The weekend that i spent away at Staff Advance was a what i considered a miracle weekend... When the Worship Leader asked us to share with our friend next to us what was one thing that we thank God for during the whole advance, my immediate thought was that I thank God for His presence that could be felt so strongly in this place... without God, the whole event would not have gone off so smoothly.. without God, everything would have been so meaningless.. without God, i wouldn't have survived the advance!

I felt so much of God's love during the whole advance.. every single devotion that i did, God confirmed that word for me during sermon time and i felt so loved by Him.. it really amazes me how God turns all things to His glory.. Indeed, God does make a way when there is no way.. What men set to do with their own strength, God can STILL turn it around for His glory! Praise God that He is always with us!

One revelation that was truly engraved into my heart was that I myself am already a miracle.. not a miracle waiting to happen.. but AM already a miracle that HAS happened... and that just made me wanna praise Him.. Pastor once preached that you know you're loved much when you're forgiven much.. and being able to stand righteous in Christ, forgiven of all sins, blessed beyond what human can comprehend.. that itself is another miracle..

God has a plan for us.. each and everyone of us who believes in Him... God did not give us a life full of trials and tribulations (Btw, God does NOT give those to you but when it happens, He can still turn things around for for good!).. God does not want us to just be a half past six, church going christian.. He wants us to be more than that.. for the life that He has planned for us is IN ABUNDANCE... We have to rise up and take authority of our position in Christ... When we do that, we are no longer just relying on our own strength to get through life, but that the Christ in us will be the One guiding us along the way.. when you really know Christ, you also grow to be a more confident and attractive person for you know of the power and authority that is in you.

Thank God that i AM His miracle! =)

    Thanks mintan for a great testimony. I too had a great two weeks; but mine was work travelling through the 6 churches under my supervision in my district. The Lord is present at all times. To know that, it is up to us to focus and discern Him there. His Name is Emmanuel - God with us. Amen.

    Hi Pastor, Praise God that indeed He IS with Us. May you continue to use the gifting that God has given you to glory His Name.

    God bless you both richly! =)
