~*~His Precious Gems 02~*~: My Cup Runneth Over

This has been an amazing week of revival.

I will not lie, the first 2 preachers we had for Sunday evening, Monday and Tuesday were great story tellers.

They made everyone laugh and we had a great time with some Bible thrown in there.

Maybe my heart just wasn't right with the Lord, I don't know, but the preaching did not speak to my heart.

Last night, we heard God's Word preached through Bro. Guy Roberts.

*You can read a slight testimony on His Precious Gems and scroll down to the post from April 17, 2008.

I knew when he mentioned that tonight's message would be on prayer from Matt. 6, I knew that I would have sore toes tonight.

Boy, was I right. He stepped on my toes and kicked me in the shins, so to speak.

I needed tonight's message not just on prayer, but coming clean before the Lord. I will have to add the link to the sermon on here after it is put up on the church website.

It was the kind of message that brought me to my knees, crying to the Lord at the alter.

It was exactly what I needed, especially with the rough week(s) I have experienced lately.

I really didn't mean to say all that. My purpose for this post is to brag on my oldest daughter and the youth at our church.

Something amazing happened in many lives last August at youth conference that is continuing still today.

I am amazed at how God has worked in the lives of these teenagers.

Tonight, the teens did everything except the preaching. Dustin led the music, Mark prayed the opening prayer, J.D. prayed for the offering while the boys took up the offering, Rebecca played for the offering, Mr. Dave had the opening, the girls and the boys both sang wonderfully, and Daniel ended the service in prayer. Sorry, I probably left someone out, but they'll never see this.
