Hallelujah! Miss you, girlie!

I wanted to give up working and stay home, but I chose to continue to do what I have been doing, so that I can continue to minister to the people that God places in my life, every single day. It's not easy...very hard, but I will do it because the Greater One lives inside of me!

Thank you for this thread, sis.....awesome!

Before I 'backslide'....

Lord, I remember when I needed money for milk and bread to feed my babies. You gave me more than money, you gave me milk, food, and a contiuned supply of groceries to keep my babies fed...and it wasn't welfare.

Before I 'backslide'.....

I had enough bus fare for one way. Had no idea how I was going to get back home. Got on the bus and the Driver said, "Just have a seat, this ride is for free."

Before I 'backslide'....

My heart was so broken over my failed marriage. I was so ashamed and had no where to go. Yet my father called and said, "Baby, pack your things, you're coming home with me."

Before I 'backslide".....

I've never been without a home

Before I 'backslide'.....

I've never been without love

Before I 'backslide'....

Lord, when I found out my son was hooked on drugs and my unsaved sister gloated about it happening to me and I'm supposed to have Jesus in my life. YET.....YET....YET, you told me to fear not for you would deliver my son. And Lord, you did. You delivered my baby and he's thriving and delivered and living his life for you.

Before I 'backslide'....

How many times, Lord has my body gone through various pains and ailments, that I knew not. Yet you always spoke to my heart and said, 'Trust me'...and Lord you always kept your word to heal my body each time.

Before I 'backslide'....

How many times have I been in trouble and you came in at the right time to save me and deliver me.

Lord, I cannot leave you...I cannot 'backslide' For there is still none like you.!

Two times in my adult life I was THROUGH with everything. I cannot say I chose to stay. I had given up...but God. The grace of God.

The first time was when a relationship failed. I was THROUGH with God and wanted no parts of Him with regard to any intimacy. I felt like He didn't keep His promise. I wasn't crazy. I wasn't going to blaspheme Him but my attitude was like: "we ain't gotta do this". I was gonna be a Christmas/Easter/Mother's Day saint. But all that summer, every time this particular song came on the radio called "I Got A Job"....

I got a job
working for Jesus
all through the night and all through the day
I got a job
working for Jesus
whatever is right, God said that He would pay....

Can you hear The Master calling
Saying who will come and work for him today
whatever is right, God said that He would pay....

I was singing it...bouncing in the car...LOUD!! And then I would catch myself and say "No I DON'T!" and I meant it! I cannot pinpoint the turnaround other than it was His supernatural healing upon my heart and spirit.... The Lord knew I was real hurt behind that situation....

The other time was in 2006 when I became disenchanted with the church. This time I did have to determine in my mind that I would obey the Lord to stay where I was and stay in His will and stay saved. Even after I started going back to church regularly (and I never stopped giving my tithes to my local church!), it didn't change right away. I had to stay with it. The Lord did a supernatural healing in my heart and spirit and I had to forgive and consciously let go of things of the past.

I was about to give up on my marriage but I choose to fight. Sometimes situations come for God to test us. Sometimes situations come for God to break us, to build character. Right now I'm being broken. But oh glory, when this season has ended, satan may as well pack up and go to hell early.

I see the Lord has us up late: You, Shimmie, Mocha, Klb and myself...He is reminding us all of who He is in our lives!

Thank you, Jesus...thank you, Lord!

Speak, Lord....

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, Lord, yes
Oh, yes, my soul, my soul says yes

If I were you, I would say yes, speak, Lord. Speak to me.
Oh, Speak, Lord. Won't you speak to me?
I was so blind, I was so lost until you spoke to me
Oh, speak, Lord. Speak, Lord. And hear my mind,
Oh, with your word, heal my soul
Oh, speak, Lord. Speak to me. Speak, my Lord.
I love you, Lord. Save my soul

Can't sleep at night and you wonder why
Maybe God is trying to tell you something
Crying all night long, something's gone wrong
Maybe God is trying to tell you something

Oh, you can't sleep at night and you sure wonder why
Maybe god is trying to tell you something

Trying, trying, trying, trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying
Maybe God is trying to tell you something
Maybe God is trying to tell you something
Maybe God is trying to tell you something
Maybe God is trying to tell you something

Lord, He's got to tell you something
Lord, He's got to tell you something. I hear you, Lord
Maybe God is trying to tell you right now, right now
I'm gonna praise your name
I praise your name
Speak to me, Lord
Maybe God is trying to tell you something right now, right now,
Right now
Thank you, Lord
Maybe God is trying to tell you something right now
Right now, right now. Thank you, Lord..."
