If you have read any of my posts, you know that I was struggling to keep my marriage together. My husband had been cheating for over a year. I also found my salvation and gave my life to Christ around the same time.
My husband has moved out and I have remained strong, realizing that he will never change and it is better just to let him go. He has been gone for ten days and I am struggling with the bills. My cable is getting turned off, my telephone and internet as well. Today they came and got my big screen tv because I couldn't pay for it. I'm lonely, I feel like I have no one, and with all this going on I kind of forgot about God. I had been missing church and not reading my bible. I had become angry and hard.
Well God has done something wonderful for me. He has sent me an old friend whom I haven't talked to in eight years! This friend is currently studying to be a Pastor. This morning I confessed to my friend that I just didn't understand why God would put me through all of this. At times I have blamed God, even said I hated Him.
I began to understand that all the times I have blamed God, He was actually helping me out of a bad situation. When I was in a bad relationship God removed that man from my life, much as He is doing with my husband. He was removing them from my life for a reason...to prevent something irreversible. I had a two miscarriages, one five months along, during my marriage and I realized too that He took my children to spare them, not to spite me. God would never forsake me and I know that now. I feel good. God sent me my friend again for a reason. I haven't talked to this friend in over eight years.
This friend has made me see that I have been looking for a man who will treat me right.
A love that a man of the flesh is not capable of. The man I have been seeking is God.
My friend told me to pray and ask God to forgive me for doubting Him, to forgive me for hating Him, for giving my life to Him and falling, to ask Him to help me back up onto my feet...I did and it felt so good to finally understand what God can do.
My friend also explained to me that when I gave my life to Christ, the devil began to fight harder for me. That is why things seem as though they are getting worse.
He then led me to Proverbs 3:5&6...Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.
It just spoke to me in ways where I understood what Christianity is all about. Letting God take over and carry my burdens, and it's ok to not understand because God will take care of me if I live for Him.
A few hours later I found out that I am losing my job. The facility is closing in four days. I had no idea this was coming, as we were supposed to have buyers but they have backed out. This was a complete shock to all the employees. But I did not fret. I know that God will provide. I have been thinking that God must have something wonderful and beautiful in store for me. Something that doesn't include my old life. I have lost my husband, I will have to move in with a family member, I will lose my apartment...it just seems like where I am right now is NOT where I am supposed to be. Instead of crying over my job and everything I have lost, I find myself rejoicing and anticipating what God has in store for me because I know it's something good.
I just wanted to share this experience. I'm no longer afraid what the future brings because I know that God is with me in everything I do.

Awesome Testimony Babyj , The word of God says ; And the overcame him, by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony. (Rev. 11:12) Today you have taken another giant step of faith in your journey here. Your maturity is coming quickly and God has great things in store for you. I want to encourage you to study the word of God now, more than ever before. The more your mind is renewed in the word, the closer you will be to having a true understanding of God's will for your life. You will always be in my prayers. Grace and Peace Philsogmanifest

Great testimony about our Great Lord Jesus. HE is an awesome GOD. HE holds our futures. HE knows what's good and right for us all.
I was hating GOD for the longest time till I came to HIM with reconciliation and seek HIM for forgiveness. From that day onwards (14 years ago), my life has changed so much and I thank the LORD for every minute of it.
HE has us all in the palm of HIS hand and HE promised us all that "Never will I leave you, Nor forsake you". I came to a foreign land with "Proverb 3:5,6" and today, I am standing because of HIM.
Jeremiah 29:11 speaks well of HIS plans for you. Do NOT be afraid as HE is always watching you. GOD loves you and HE will take you in the shadow of HIS wing and be with you all the time, strengthening you with wisdom, knowledge and a firm foundation of Christ.
The Bible is a book of hidden treasure. Seek HIM and you will find. GOD bless.
