Just giving thanks to God

Joy · #1 07-30-2002, 07:38 PM

You know, it is said in the Bible that God doesn't give someone more than they can handle, well lately, I've been asking god to pick on someone else for a while because I really was going under.

Well, today God let me know that he is still around. I had two miracles today. TWO!!!!!!!!

My finances have been blown since Juan was arrested. I got so behind that o catch up was near to impossible. I had been trying to keep my payments up on my car and not have to turn it in for re-possession, but today, when the loan company called, I just said I couldn't do it any more. I still have $4500 left to pay on it, so the loan officer put me on hold a minute and came back and said that he had an offer that I couldn't refuse. If I payed $300, he would give me the title of my car and mark it paid in full. Yep, you heard me. $300 and my card will be marked paid in full. FIGURE THAT ONE OUT GUYS!!!!

Then, I got a call from my student loan which started 3 months ago from when I graduated from college last December. I havn't been able to get started on that payment either. The lady said no problem, we will just tack the 3 months on the end and you can start all over next month. FIGURE THAT ONE OUT TOO GUYS!!!.

I don't have anyone but God to thank on this. My blessed Lord. Just when you think God isn't listening or watching, He pops up and says..." I'm still here!!!"

Anyway, I just want to praise God for this blessing and I hope I don't screw things up any more than I have already done.

We serve an awesome God!! My position at work was eliminated on May 16th after 22 years. Today, I had my second interview with the same company for a different position and I am claiming it in the name of Jesus!! I will be restored!! And I have been blessed with the summer off paid, as the termination date was not until July 15th (even though they escorted me to the door on the 16th of May) and I have severence pay until Dec. God is soooo good and I am praising Him and thanking Him for your miracles!!

JOY:

HOW VERY RIGHT YOU ARE.... THERE IS NO ANSWER FOR ANY OF US EXCEPT GOD..... SOMETIMES HE DOES NOT ANSWER PRAYERS IN THE SAME MANNER WE ASK, BUT, THEY ARE ALWAYS ANSWERED.

YOU WILL NEVER KNOW THE MANY TIMES I HAVE HAD MIRICLES IN MY LIFE..... JUST BEING ALIVE, ABLE TO HELP OTHERS, AND HAVE MY HEALTH IS A MIRICLE TO ME.

PRAY EVERY DAY.... FOR THINGS THAT ARE NEEDED. WE WILL RECEIVE AN ANSWER..

MY LOVE AND PRAYERS

It is so heartwarming to hear of answered prayers. I have also learned that we must accept God's grace in unanswered prayers. There may be reasons we do not understand at the time why a particular prayer cannot receive the answer we desire. We must always have faith and perserverance.

Galatians 6:9 “And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.”

God bless,
Kelli
