! Pastor Lynette promised to bring teaching concerning courtship and dating. She wanted us to remember the goals of courtship and why it is the best way to pursue a life partner. She wanted us to understand what dating does and does not do. Our night session adjourned; breakfast was to begin the next morning by 8:30 a.m. The meals were cooked and served by our own dedicated and certified chef, Elaine Cadenhead and her team. Each meal was a tasty and mouth-watering feast. Sessions of spontaneous praise and prayer often accompanied our mealtimes, making them times of fellowship and vulnerability with one another and with our righteous Lord. Our spirits were nourished and filled at mealtime along with our physical bodies. Throughout the weekend we considered topics such as, “What kinds of questions need to be considered before marriage?” “What is the man’s role in pursuing courtship?” “What is the woman’s role in receiving courtship?” On one of the worship occasions we stood in a circle and ministered to the Lord saying, “Worthy is the lamb Who sits upon the throne.” The atmosphere in the room was charged with worship and adoration as we ministered to the Lord fully from our hearts, each of us speaking the words at different intervals and timings. It was “What kinds of questions need to be considered before marriage?” wonderful to hear the ebb, flow, and rhythmical nuances. We continued to press in and enjoyed the thrill of worshipping together harmoniously for at least half an hour. Joyful praise was expressed when one young woman felt she heard from God for herself and wanted to thank Him for making the hearing of His voice real in her life. Another young woman said she found her voice; she wanted to use it for Him and not hold back in expressing her ideas and feelings towards others and towards Him. Truly receiving personal ministry from the Lord; gaining wisdom and teaching for structuring home and life relationships from Pastor Lynette; being given the opportunity to share, pray, sing, and laugh—all made the weekend a lively and fun time away together.
