Jesus is so good. He has delivered me from so much. God has brought me a mightly long way. This time last year I was trying to figure out how much ChaCha money it would take to give my children some simblance of Christmas.
My future looked bright, but my capacity to accept it as possible was so weak. Although, I remained positive most of the time, my flesh was eating me up with doubt. Doubt about how God would turn things around. I had questions: Could God really work a miracle in the midst of a recession(depression)? I wanted to believe but in my heart of hearts, I didn't. But I was still obedient. I still made the sacrafice of tithing, I still never turned my back on Jesus.
February 2009: Got a temp to perm job
May: Turned Permenant and got a raise
September 2, 2009: Put in a bid on a new home.
Hallelujiah.
The devil is a liar and when he told me I'd end up on welfare and become a statistic of the system, I didn't believe him then.
God is good and he delivers on his promise(s) every time. The scripture that I always leaned on in the midst of the madness and the one that really got me through was this:
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
Just know that what you expect and what God expects may be two different things, but God's expectation always involves his children coming out on top. no matter how long it takes and no matter what trials we go through. He is our daddy and we have to always meditate on His words in the midst of the storm.
I know the saints have been praying. We pray for one another and strengthen each other. Luv you ladies and your prayers have not been in vain.
