Last Saturday was a great time at Abigail's house!! Many thanks to Abi's dad for inviting us to his place. The food was YUMMY-licious!!! Abi has a real nice place & Michael & Benjamin is simply adorable! :)
The two boys were really shy. We had to coax them like for SOOOOOOO long beofre they're took pics with us! Bel definitely had more patience than me. Abi I salute you!!! But they're really cute. And as EJ would say he can't wait to see the boy (Michael) that "cried for him "hahaha!
The Word that God placed in my heart to share was something that Ps Serene has shared with us since we were still in university. The principle of CLOSING RANKS.
God gave me a vision (which is very rare. I'm not a vision person) of a heavy thunderstorm. And a lighted little brick house that's in the rain. There was nothing around or near the little house.
The mood/feel one typically have on a rainy day is that of gloomy, blue, "leave-me- alone-to-NUAH feel". As I asked God what this vision means He immediately brought to my mind CLOSING RANKS.
At the start of cell I asked the gals how many of them felt that this year (Year of Sabbath) is tougher than 2007 Year of Victory. To my amazement almost all of them raised their hands. I had thought that it's only me feeling the heat & the stress.
Many of us are going through tough & perhaps difficult times of our lives this season. If you had thought that something is wrong if things were so tough this year & there must be something wrong with you. Hey no way, all the more you could be on the right track! All the more the principle of CLOSING RANKS is important.
In an army when the troop sees the enemies approaches the troop closes ranks. The soldiers hurdle close together to face the enemies as ONE! When we close rank there are two things we gain
1) The corporate protection of a community/troop
2) We can watch out for one another
From 1: There is greater strength when we face the enemies united in one heart.
From 2: If the troop is scattered, one of the soldier might be injured somewhere far off but no one knows that this person needs help! And when the enemies approach this poor soldier have no chance of survival at all.
So dear daughters let's CLOSE RANK!
Hebrews 10:25 Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another - and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
Luv Cynthia
