After 30 weeks of study, today we came to the last session which was the Grand Sharing Night ....  Some of the learning shared by the men which I took away ....
- intimacy with God
- God word is life
- life is not smooth ... ups and downs ... take away is that God is with us on this journey

-  Moses the faithful servant .... until the end .... He ended well
- Moses the good shepherd. ... He asked for successor for the people (even after knowing he will die) ... his focus was his love for God and his love for the people
-  desert experience .... reading about it is different from living it ..... Pray that God gives strength to persevere and sustain us. Be humbled and stop complaining. Remember God’s goodness and blessings. God doesn't remember my failure.
- exodus 14 ... fickle pharaoh changed his mind .... Moses asked the people to stand firm ... God will fight for you. ... just be still!! Trust God to deliver.
