During worship, we sang a song that I used to sing as a kid in Sunday school (:

My Jesus, my saviour
Lord there is none like You
All of my days, I want to praise
The wonders of Your mighty love

My comfort, my shelter
Tower of refuge and strength
Let every breath, all that I am
Never cease to worship You

Shout to the Lord, all the earth let us sing
Power and majesty, praise to the King
Mountains bow down, and the seas will roar
At the sound of Your name

I sing for joy at the works of Your hands
Forever I'll love You, forever I'll stand
Nothing compares to the promise I have in You

There have been many ups and downs over the past 2 weeks. There were difficult moments, moments of doubt. But there were also moments of blessing, moments to encounter. It is easy to be thankful for the roses in our lives, but we forget to give thanks for the thorns.

These have come so that your faith - of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire - may be proven genuine and may result in praise, glory and honour when Jesus Christ is revealed. 
- 1 Peter 1:7-9
