Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits. Psalms 103:1-2 KJV

We bless the Lord from our heart and soul and ALL that is within us – as an expression of our desire to worship and honor Him with all we have and with all we are. As we bless Him, we should remember all His benefits. Every child of God should know what benefits have been made available to them, but what are those benefits?

Benefit 23: Even though our lives are short compared to the span of time and eternity, the love of God gives value to every life lived, no matter how long or short.

Drs. Rodney and Adonica Howard-Browne, with Revival Ministries International, are looking forward to Celebrate America just as they did in the summer of 1999 when, for six weeks consecutively, they rented Madison Square Garden, the world’s most famous arena, for Good News New York!

Drs. Rodney and Adonica Howard-Browne are inviting local churches, the community, and members of government, in which many of them will be sharing their faith, and all nationalities to be a part of Celebrate America. We are celebrating America as she turns 239 years old. During Celebrate America, we will commemorate the Declaration of Independence and what the Constitution of the United States has meant to this land. We will celebrate the heritage of America and our Founding Fathers who acknowledged “firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence.” We will remember The Great Spiritual Awakenings of this land, the impact of which they made, and The Great Awakening that is soon to come. Celebrate America.

I took the task of organizing and cleaning the hospitality warehouse.  It is much more involved than it sounds, but I have discovered is that I have been previously trained for this very time.  I worked many jobs in my life and given various responsibilities in management, supervision, inventory control, manufacturing and much more.  I’m now able to use these skills for ministry.  There are times I ask myself, can I keep up this pace that is expected of me?  Much to my surprise I can say yes, the Lord has given me his grace and I’m actually able to handle the longer hours that are required.  As I press in to what God has for me I find a renewed reliance in the Holy Spirit to show me how and what to do, and that has kept me going.   When the day starts I think, I’ve got it all worked out, then BOOM!  It is not that way at all, everything changes.  It’s during these times that I have learned so much by watching my department manager.  She will shift gears with a smile and proceed as if nothing happened unexpectedly.  I want to follow her example.  Our department is very physical with serving, shopping, cooking, cleaning, organizing, and planning events.  All we do affects many people and our ability to do it well can make the difference to those we serve.  I’m being stretched beyond my original comfort zone, but as I step out to do my assignments I see Gods grace working in me. I’m committed to just submit to the process and learn all I can.  I take serving others very seriously; I can make the event relaxing, enjoyable or frustrating.  Any unmet expectations would be in how I feel about my own abilities to do my job well.

Internship is such a great opportunity to really be instructed by God on how to trust Him COMPLETELY, no matter what the situation is. I’ve learned to spend time in prayer everyday; making my request known to Him and laying my burdens at His feet.  I have seen dramatic results since I have learned to walk by faith.  The Holy Spirit has been my guide, comforter and helper.  The world around me may seem a big mess at times, but I can still smile and be confident because I know God has come through for me time and time again and He will continue to show Himself strong in my life.

My life continues to be a testimony to those around me that no matter what the situation; God is at work and He works everything out for our good just as His word says.  I’m excited to see what the Lord is going to do through this entire experience!
