@@EmmausMusic oh yes very pleasant memories. I now study in South Africa and this always brings back memories of my teen years in Cameroon in that boarding school
Ngalahansel, Jesus continue to bless you. Was the song in English or French ? In Cameroon French is the language, n’est ce pas ? Keep going for Jesus, brother. Yaounde is a good city. My brother was there as a priest from Scotland. In 1987 he went to Angola for the duration of the civil war. I visited him there in 1989 while there was a ceasefire - a pause in the fighting. God loves Africa. People I met were kind and generous with their meagre resources. I travelled many places in Angola. God bless you abundantly.
The City of God aka the Temple of God has always been your body. It was not destroyed in 70 A.D. The seven "months" of building the temple symbolically begins at the spring equinox where we find Golgotha/Calvary aka the area between your two ears. The remaining five months (darkness) is the dark night of the Soul. Psalm 44. 23 Awake, O Lord! Why do You sleep? Rise up! Do not turn away from us forever. 24 Why do You hide Your face? Why do You forget our troubles and our suffering? 25 For our soul is brought down to the dust. Our body holds on to the earth. 26 Rise up and help us! Save us because of Your loving-kindness.
I can't stop playing this sound after 4 times surgeries, and my one kidney was removed yet no solution. As though that wasn't enough, my family brought me from Africa and rejected me in Canada due to my persistent situation 😪😪😪
