First Day Of Convention

We arrived at Port Dickson on sunday late evening. The next morning, after breakfast, we went to the beach with the Tans, before the itenarary for the convention began. And I'm glad we did for the following reasons: 
1. When convention began, we hardly had time to relax with kids, except for one short swim in the pool which we managed to take time off for on wed. 2. It was a great time with the kids and real good friends :) And Skye totally enjoyed himself while Trinity managed to go greater depth in sea, much credit goes to Daddy.3. If it was not for the beach trip, the following experience would not have happened.
Here it is: That night, while bro and sis were settling in bed, they were chatting about the beach, and Trinity was telling her bro that she was afraid of the waves. Then Skye asked me, "Mommy, is there anything to be scared of?" I told him no, and explained about how when we have Christ within us, there is nothing to fear and how God is bigger than the boogie-man (from veggietales). After explaining, I asked him if he wants to invite Jesus into his heart. And he said yes! I was so surprised that I asked him again. Then I called Josh into the bedroom and there and then, we said the prayer with Skye asking Jesus to come into his heart. About 2 years ago, when Skye was 3, he told me he one morning, "i want Jesus in my heart" and I prayed with him. But i think this time round, he understood what it meant more in depth. And i was surprised because he had been kind of "goofy" about serious stuff.Praise the Lord! He was working even in the life of my son during the convention! And today, he was humming a warfare/victory song that we sang in convention, which we have totally forgotten the song since it was unfamiliar to us. I thank God for my amazing son :)

theTANs have become such kindred spirit with us in life and in ministries... Thank God for this blessing.
people from LRC were just amazing... so patient, kind and warm. Had a great time worship singing with the worship team -singers and band.
God presence was so awesome it broke some sort of 'internal' ceiling within me. Something got set free inside, it was an awesome awesome experience. Caleb was greatly used by God and I know God was smiling when Caleb worship-danced before Him and the assembly. Thank God for such a mighty servant of God in the worship movement.
