I'm in a good mood today and just wanted to share some of that joy. The Lord has really brought me a mighty long way in a very short time. My husband and I bought a house this year and we never would have thought that we would have been able to this young. Even while people around us were skeptical and realtors tried to play us because we are young, we found a beautiful place to call home. To look at where we were 2 years ago, or even this time last year, I never would have thought it to be possible.

The Lord has allowed me to go to graduate school full time and quit my job without any financial worries at all. Everyday I get reminders of how much HE loves me. I am so grateful. He has been so good to me!! :D

Thanks for reviving this thread. I didn't know it existed. Same here about the job situation. When I volunteered to leave my job (they were offering packages), people - looking at the $$- thought I was crazy. But I just kept hearing God say "Trust me." And that's exactly what I did. I stayed home with my newborn & our family has been fine.

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 1Co 2:14

God is faithful
 

Since we are overcome by one anothers testimony I decided that I will share some of the wonderful things that GOD has done for me First and foremost I have a wonderful role model in my brother he has been my mentor all of my life, he has showed me how to overcome adversity and that is indeed a blessing and I must mention that he is a member of the O so Ruthless Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc. He is a true blessing in my life!

On another note we all know that school is very expensive (what yall know about that out of state tuition) so I had been praying all summer for a way to pay for school do you know when I got back to school I recieved 2 scholarships one in the amount of 10,000 a year and the other in the amount of 7,000 per year Now you cant tell me GOD does not answer prayers! Or like my mother says "You cant make me doubt him 'cause I know too much about him"

Did you know that the bible says that we have the power to call those things that are not into the things that are Well I said that I was going to meet a man who is God fearing through and through a man that would not just want to be with me because Im so "pretty to my left and my right" Well I have that man he is sharing my mirror with me right now Alpha Kappa Alpha Psi love..skee-yo 4life!

3 interviews so far - and 1 interested employer that I have to call back on Tues. All (except one) with applying online!

Praise Him!:D :D :D

I cannot even begin to testify to how much GOD has blessed my family and I. Earlier this year, my mother found a lump in her breast, which of course made my family a nervous wreck. All we could do was wait for doctor appts and tests, and PRAY. I know I don't have to tell you all that PRAYER WORKS!! Well, the tests came back free and clear. The lump that they found was hardened tissue caused by dense breast tissue, particulary in black women over 40. My mom just celebrated her 50th birthday a few days ago. All I can say is Thank GOD!

my 20 pearls...
 

I honestly want to thank my Savior for my membership in this wonderful organization. I know that may sound corny, but I know that I have read this forum for a looooong time, patiently waiting for the day to actually become a "Soror". I have been wanting to be a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. since I was 10 years old and I praise God because this was def. a mission: impossible and He made my dream come true. I praise Him because I got my packet this week and I couldn't stop crying...I thank God for this opportunity and for answering my prayers.

I thank God for saving me...cause He saved me from soo much. I also thank God that my Uncle was found in New Orleans and he is alive. He is devistated, angry, and a little ill but he is alive. I am thankful because he has one more day to get his life right with Christ.:D

God Keeps His Promises
 

I thank God for my breakthrough. It seemed like so many times I was crazy or that nothing was going to ever happen. He opened one door let us walk through it and then closed it, I was so hurt! However he is a faithful God and he opened up another door and kept his promise. So I thank God for all he has done for me!

The sun rose in the east this morning. I was here to see it, functioning and in my right mind.

As always, I say "Thanks, God."

I am so glad that this topic is being revisited. I come to this site often, but never post. Today I feel that I just have too. I can't hold it all in. I don't know where to start. I have been blessed beyond what I could have ever imagined. My husband and I have been blessed with two healthy children.In April I moved into my new home. Not just any home, but 3400 square feet of everything I wanted. In May I quit my job teaching. I was afraid of losing steady income (what little there was), but God said trust me. It is September and I have already exceeded what I would have made teaching. I have a job where I can help people invest in their future and I can still can visit my students. Thank You Jesus. I have grown so much by letting him have his way. I have learn to be specific in my request and ask for exactly what I want. Then I just have to be patient and have faith. Can you believe all of this from a little country girl who everyone thought would grow up and not contribute anything to society.

I still have a job.....

I still have a roof over my head.....

And I still have more than $5 in my savings account..:D

He woke me up this morning. One of my former coworkers passed suddenly last Friday - a horrible, sad shock to us all, but I do know that she knew the Lord and FREQUENTLY talked about His love. So, I know she died in Christ. It amazes me how one minute we can be here - and gone the next. I thank God for sustaining my family. I also thank God because tomorrow my mother - who 2 yrs ago a Dr told me she would not last a month - will be 74 yrs old!

I am in the midst of a thunderstorm, yet I still have so much to be greatful for...

Money in the bank

A roof over my head, even though a few weeks ago I didn't know where I was going to live.

Good friends...like sisters.

A new godson...precious.

And...this is amazing to me and you will see why. Anyways I had parked at a meter at like 8 am for a class of mine and I FORGOT TO GO BACK AND PUT MONEY IN IT:eek: for about 8 hours. Well I was already in the midst of a not great day at the point I realized that I never went back to feed the meter. I could only imagine how many dollars worth of tickets would be collecting nicely on my windshield since parking officers out here have no mercy. Well I got to my car and... not one single ticket. Trust me folks, it was truly a miracle! :)

I thank God for waking me up this morning and for keeping me and those I love dearly safe. I think God for every single trial and tribulation I've been through for without those I wouldn't be where and who I am today. I've been through so much and wanted to give up many of times but He kept me from giving in and kept me looking up. So Thank YOU for who You are in my life and for all the unconditional love You extend to me when I know I didn't and don't deserve it. Amen!! God is GOOD!!! :)

I, too, have much to be grateful for: My health, my family, my home, my education, my job, and my BRAND NEW car. ;) Considering my credit, I can testify that God is able!

Psalm 150
1 Praise the LORD.
Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heavens.

2 Praise him for his acts of power;
praise him for his surpassing greatness.

3 Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,
praise him with the harp and lyre,

4 praise him with tambourine and dancing,
praise him with the strings and flute,

5 praise him with the clash of cymbals,
praise him with resounding cymbals.

6 Let everything that has breath praise the LORD.
Praise the LORD. :)
