Time to testify...What has He done for you lately?

SkeeWee14 · #1 12-12-2003, 07:06 PM

Today I talked to a co-worker of mine and she was telling me of the ways that the Lord has blessed her throughout her life. We talked about things that happened where we knew that there was no explanation other than God. That made me wonder about the miracles He has worked for others. So those of you who are willing to share, how about do it here. You never know who you may inspire with your testimony. For those who don't believe, please don't interfere with those of us who do. Simply move on to another thread.

I'll share a quick story with you all. For the past year or so I have been living at home with my parents and my son. That is something that I'm not at all accustomed to doing. Money has been tight (and still is), but my nerves and patience have been even tighter .

Last week I went and applied for a brand new two bedroom, two bath apartment. It has a beautiful kitchen (which I can not wait to cook in) and a lot of space to move around in. Initially they gave me one price in rent (which wasn't that bad), but when I went back they gave me a price that was far less

. After I scraped up the money for the application fee (Christmas is killing a sister) and submitted my application, I was somewhat concerned that I would be stuck on a long waiting list because for one these apartments are brand new, they are in high demand and I live in a military town that caters to the military. I remember coming home and thanking God for blessing me with the apartment. This was before I knew that it would be approved. I had faith in my heart that He was going to make a way. I had no idea where I was going to get the extra money from to pay the deposit or the rent for the remainder of this month provided that I chose to move in this month. I knew nothing other than to thank God for making the way. Getting to the point...today I signed the lease to MY brand new apartment and I have the keys in my hands! Because I just spent the last of my paycheck (that I could afford) to spend taking care of other things, I didn't have a dime to put towards the deposit let alone rent for the rest of this month. When I tell you all that God is GOOD you better believe it. I didn't have to pay my deposit today (and still got the keys

) and the rent for the rest of the month is FREE!!! Thank You Jesus!!! The best part came when I picked my son up from school and took him to see his Christmas present. OUR home. The look that came over his face was priceless and absolutely melted my heart. He is excited about having his own bathroom and his own (big) room in which his grandma is going to furnish as a Christmas gift. Even he was excited about our kitchen (lol). He even went as far as picking out a spot for his drums, but I'm not feeling that idea

. Anyway, that is my testimony for the day. I'm truely blessed.

As Sis. King in my church would say...."You betta HOLLA"!

Good afternoon, Saints. Giving all praises to God, who is truly
the head of my life. To my Pastor, the Rev. Dr. H.H. Lusk Sr., in his absence, since he's home on house arrest today!

To the ministers on the "Roster or Rostrum...or whatever they be sayin' up in church...." and to my Sorors AKA2D and Ideal who moderate this forum......PRAISE JESUS...for I know that he is my Savior.

Soror SkeeWee - - thank you for your testimony. If your son wants to bang on those drums, girl...LET HIM. What a blessing you have been given.

You, know, we all take some things for granted. He didn't have to wake me up this morning. That's one thing he's done for me, TODAY as a matter of fact. Everyone in my family has been struck with the Flu over the past week, but you know what, there are some people in this country that are DYING from this flu. Praise Jesus for my family's health.

The Lord has seen to it that we are able to do the things that we want to do. Somehow, HE gave me keys to a new car (Passat) and paid for Xmas gifts and still gave me some money left over.

Despite ALL of the things that I have done in my life to defy HIM, my Saviour continually takes care of ME. Surely, his grace and mercy shall keep me all of the days of my.

Praise Him who most worthy to be praised!
I am going to make this short and sweet as possible. During my current pregnancy we have had to watch a defect that they found in my son's lungs. It has been a long road and we done all we could ...which is pray. I just want to say Thank You to my Lord and Savior for blessing my unborn son. We had our second to last Sonogram this past wednesday and there has been no growth in the defect! He is growing just fine (5lbs 12oz with 5 weeks still to go!) and they don't foresee him having to be in NICU or have surgery when he is born! When they say "God is good"... all I can do is holla "ALL THE TIME!"

Glad to hear about your blessings ladies!

I am so thankful that I still have a job with there being so much unemployment in my area. I am also thankful for the favor that He has given me on the job as well.

When my company was going through layoffs, I should have been the person to lose their job (it was being done by senority) since I am the newest person. Next, when I got promoted, there were two women in my area that were "less than friendly", shall we say.

After about a month or so, one of the ladies was transfer to another facility and the other one resigned! His mercies are endless.

Most importantly though, I am just glad to know Him.

THAT IS TRULY THE WORK OF GOD!

I'm going through a rough time in all areas of my life. It seems like everyting is going wrong. However, I know my God will work it out. So, that is my praise report!!! I claim the victory!

CountryGurl · #7 12-13-2003, 10:06 AM

Praise God…for he is worthy to be praised!!!

God has truly blessed me throughout the year. I was blessed with a job that is very fulfilling. It allows me to continue my education, mentor “at risk” youth, enhance my organizing/planning skills, as well as work/meet wonderful people who can help me become a prominent individual in my community.

God has also blessed me with a new friend who has helped me to realize that I am strong person and can make it through hard times. (Thanks Exquizit).

After posting my prayer request I have to praise Him too!!

My mother just completed her 4th open heart surgery, and although she is not out of the woods yet I still praise him! I praise him for the other 3 surgeries that she has successfully gone through. I praise him for my dad giving her mouth to mouth during an asthma attack; if he had not come home when he did she would have died. I praise him for the believing surgeon that did her surgery. And most of all I praise him for the special gift that she is. My mom and I haven't always had the best relationship (I'll have to post on the co-dependant's thread another time), but I praise God for who she is TODAY and what she means to our family.

Wonderful1908 · #9 12-13-2003, 01:21 PM

Let us all rejoice in him!!

I am thankful that he woke my and mine up this morning. I am thankful that I have a job that I actually love and that it pays the bills. Even though the kids get on my nerves it's still out of love. I am thankful that my child is healthy and that my best friend had her son born yesterday. I am thankful for the car I drive, the family I have the husband I have, the grace of God, but most of all

That I am able to realize that there is nothing without the Father

We serve an awesome GOD!

Food, clothes, shelter, transportation, family, friends, membership into my desired org of choice, health, strength, motivation, purpose, perfect vision (after having surgery that went well), a husband who is learning the awesome power of God, an advanced degree, financial resources, gifts/talents, a desire to better myself, peace/serenity even when I'm going through trials, confidence that he'll never leave/forsake me....

I could go on and on...

He keeps on proving Himself to me over and over and over and over. . .

He hasn't let me want or be in lack for anything! There were times I didn't know how things were gonna get done, but He was there all the time, showing me just who He is! I serve an AWESOME God!!!!

I just knew that being out on my own, going from 2 incomes to 1 income would constantly have me worrying about taking care of my child, keeping the phone and lights on, and paying my bills, but He has shown me that HE is my provision - God and God alone!!!!!!!

BlessedOne04 · #14 09-09-2007, 09:33 PM

The God that we serve is more than I coul have ever asked for. He has paid bills, held me tight during many storms, herd my cry and picked me up when I was down and out (almost literally). He provided a way for me to have a brand new car when I graduated, He has dried eyes and found a place for me to live when I had no idea of where to go, He gave me talent and a promotion to utilize that talent. God is so much better than the best!
