Aug 10, 2015 During the church’s Friday night message meetings, I have been learning about David’s tabernacle (1 Chronicles 15-16). During my own time reading the Bible and drawing near to God, I was touched as I read that the proper way for the ark of God to be transported was for man to carry it by its poles. Previously, Uzza transported the ark by using a cart and ox and consequently died. The ark was a symbol of God’s presence. Seeing how God desired man to be the one to carry the ark by its poles, I was touched

Aug 9, 2015 Since the beginning of summer, the sisters in my group gather every Saturday for personal time, partner time and team time.

For example, in the past month, I’ve prayed for summer

Aug 9, 2015 Recently, I gain more understanding of God’s infiniteness. I thought about how He is truly everywhere I go, and that He has control over every single element of everything, down to the atomic level. Everything I see, He can easily reform it, yet He doesn’t disrupt anything, but subtly controls things and gives man the free will to live. He has knowledge of all things. He sees thousands of years like seconds, yet each day can also last for thousands of years. He can read minds and see the hearts of many. When I think how He
