Here is one of the pics I took there at the GA. At this point I had tears streaming down both cheeks. I was and am still 100% sure of what God did there. There is so much more He is going to do. It was a blessing to be able to attend this GA. It was very different. It was as if God was taking us away from the pagentry of programs, etc and bringing us back to the simplicity of prayer and study of the word. Not to mention fasting. After the sacrifice from the previous week and the associated weight loss, when I heard Brother Smith call us to fasting, I nearly collapsed. God always enables us to do what pleases Him. However, it is still a great sacrifice. Didn't God move as He always does? It seems He has the perfect moment to reveal and confirm His will. We think it would be early. That would be good for us. He generally chooses later. I would dare not say late. God is never late. Just as Jesus at the tomb of Lazarus was not late, He is never late on our behalf. We may be late, but not Him. In the latter moments of the Assembly, God once again confirmed his choice. It was beautiful to have been there for that. It was amazing to fell that power as God was certainly in that place. It was not a rock the building power. It was a rock your heart power. I am glad that I was open to have felt that.
Before the Assembly ever started I sort of felt like the selection of the GO may not happen until the very last moment. I felt like maybe God was going to test us to see if we would wait on Him, or if we'd try to take matters into our own hands and try to force something through. I feel like things were done God's way; not man's, and in God's timing. God's ways are always perfect and He's never late. Sometimes it gets right down to the wire, but He's never late.
