We traveled to Princess Ann, Maryland today to attended the last afternoon session of the annual conference for the United Methodist Church. The presentation of several awards was to take place sometime between 2:00 and 5:00. At this time, I would receive the Harry Denman Evangelism Award. Thank you God!
We were greeted by my friend Pam, we joined approximately 600 people in the auditorium to await the awards presentation. The most amazing part of this afternoon was the location of our seats. If you recall on day 57 of this blog I mentioned my trip to a church in Federalsburg, MD. I shared the excitement and peace that I experienced after I prayed with a member of this congregation. After that Sunday I wonder if the lady that I prayed with, had felt the same soul to soul connected that I`d had. I just assumed that I would never know the answer to that question.
Perhaps, God thought differently, as I looked around the auditorium oddly enough my prayer companion was seated directly across the aisle from me.
As I headed to the stage for the presentation I tapped my prayer friend on the shoulder; I was greeted with a warm friendly look of amazement. I quickly whispered that I would like to talk with her before leaving.
Upon closing of the conference, I got to talk to my prayer partner. I shared with her what I`d experienced as I tenderly hugged her and prayed, as she gently cried, I heard "I will carry your burdens." She assured me that she also felt a great sense of peace as we shared our time of prayer. She felt that God was using my gifts of intercession and prayer for His glory.
What a wonderful affirmation of God`s direction and glory in my life.
Matthew 11:28-29 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
