Sunday, Feb. 5th 9:00 PM : Still ONLY Day Two


We visited Solomon's church this evening. It was a very special time. The church was held in the home of a man named Dan. Dan was a banker for 20 years in the States. He was born in India and God called him to return back to his country and share Christ with his people. So he and his wife moved back to India, helped start a church, and adopted 13 girls! Only with the divine help from God could a family adopt 13 girls! They all live, worship, and minister in the same home. The church service started with 3 of the girls leading worship. There was no piano, gutair or any other instrument. We all sang acapello. Well, I say,"we all" but truly it was not I who sang. I tried but couldn't. You see, the girls started with the song that states,
"Lord, You are more presious then silver, Lord You are more costly then gold, Lord You are more beauitful then dimonds, and nothing I desire compares to You."
I tried to sing that song... but I could do nothing but think of how these orphaned girls will never own silver or gold and yet they can and do sing these words to God! How sweat these words must sound to our Lords hears. There is nothing they desire that compares to God... and these girls have nothing but Him! I sat there in the seat of honor that they gave me... and with my hands over my face, I again cried like a baby. I did not count myself worthy to sing alongside these angles. So I just shead tears for them instead.
