Everything is Beautiful - Ray Stevens

I first heard this song when I was in pri 6, love this song particulary because of the first verse :) Anyways, I said I wanted to share about the women's conference that happened last sunday. I think God really put many new thought into my head. I've never thought of how each of us have our own flesh pattern. The new insights she gave to the bible stories which i've heard since young were really refreshing.

She mentioned the one of Abraham and isaac. Abraham "sacrificed" Isaac at the top of the mountain. I'd always thought God wanted to test Abraham and his faith in God. But Pastor jennifer really put me in a new light. She said that in a way Abraham did scarificed Isaac. Isaac was Abraham's flesh, something that Abraham held on dearly to, but on the altar, he sacrificed that flesh to God, giving Him control. I was like, Wow, this was somethigns I've never thought of before.

My favourtie phrase was "God takes our strength and make it our weakness, so that he can take the weakness and make it into His strength." Lovely phrase. Can't remember what story she took it from but I remember she mentioned God breaking the thigh bone of someone, and the thigh bone is the strongest bone in the human body.

Oh one other thing that I've never thought of was how God uses us as intercessors with our prayer. Pastor Jen used the story of Moses praying for his people and God relented as an example. Someone questioned why would God changed his mind. She answered that He didn't. Because He knew the depths of his heart, he told Moses his plan to destroy the people, wanting Him to be an intecessor for his people. I think that God's really Cool man!

Julie, Evelyn, Anne and Linda were amazed at my doodles in the notebook. I doodle with sense ok! It's the only way to keep me awake during her lessons. The sermon syndrome. But in any case, it kept me awake, sort of :)

On another note, here's a picture of my beloved nephew :)

I like how his face lits up when he smile. FYI, he's sleeping.
