Testimony Tuesday

Good morning Ladies
This is a follow up to last Wednesday post.  Have ya'll been praying?  Has the Lord revealed something to you.  Did you get a break through?  Please share and remember scripture revelation 12:11.

Rev 12:11
They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.

God Bless

Let me start with a short back story.  My sister and father's wife got into it about a year ago.  None of us speak to her and my sister doesn't really speak to my father.  His wife is CRAZY!  The type to tell a man pick me or your kids. 

I never thought that I had to tell my father that she wasn't invited. She don't like us and we don't like her.  Well Monday I am talking to my father on the phone and out of the blue he asks if his wife is invited to the wedding.  UMMM NO! His response was "that's gonna be a problem."  I asked him if that meant he was not coming to my wedding?  He said he didn't know.  WTFire???  Now mind you my father is also DJing my wedding.  (Another long story)  So I tell him well I need to know cause if you are not coming I have to get another DJ.  He doesn't response and we get off the phone. 

Needless to say I am crushed and crying.  FI is trying to comfort me but it ain't working.  I just can't believe this is happening because up until a year ago I was very very close to my Dad.  I just kept thinking about walking down the aisle with just my mom.  I would be okay but I wanted both of my parents to be there with me.  Anyway the phone call with my Dad happened on Monday of last week.  I really wanted to tell the whole family that my dad had taken his wife's side again but the Lord said keep your mouth shut.  So I did. Which for me was very hard! Wednesday comes along and I am finally obedient and post on here the call to pray.  Two hours later my dad calls me at work and asks me if I have the music picked out for the ceremony like nothing has happened.  I ask him if he's coming to the wedding and he says yes of course I can't do that to my daughter.  I would be honored to be there for you.  That is where I am supposed to be.  I will be there without my wife to support you.  I'm floored and crying like a baby at work.  I am so glad I was obedient because I know that it opened the door to my blessing. 
Oh and I also found $20 in an old wallet. LOL  Finding money is always nice!

DJSCAT, your post have been very encouraging!  I have been praying for all the ladies and being obedient and looking to God and trusting where he leads me.  It is rough right now cause my FI lost his job BUT I am still over here giving him all the praise and the glory and patiently awaiting our blessing.  Through everything he has been holding my hand so keep praying for me as I pray for you all.

Djscat so glad to hear you were obedient! Girl, it is often soooooo hard to do when we are used to doing things on our own. God clearly said Be still my child and know that I am God. and Yay for your $20!!

LSAS, I will be praying for you and your FI. Keep up the praises! God has a plan for you both.

As for me I have been praying for you ladies as well. I will continue to pray for you all. I'm still being obedient and patiently waiting on God in my job search.

It's so amazing when God works things out for the best. I'm so happy for your blessing and I hope God continues to bless you and all of the other knotties. I've been praying for you ladies so that God not only blesses your wedding but your marriages as well.

Sometimes I sit and think of how blessed that I am when I go to pray all I say is thank you so many, many, many times because i don't know why he does it but he does. Thank God!

God bless ladies!

Well here are a few things I have to shout about today:

FI and I found a 4 bedroom townhome. It was SUPER deDUPER important for us to find one with the space we needed for our children and for ourselves. It's pretty much secured as we've been approved. Now the waiting game...

As you all know I lost my job but I called our venue and let them know what happened (we make monthly mortgage (lol) payments on our wedding). They forgave Augusts payment and told me not to worry about our wedding or our date. We are secure. I already have enough to sustain my house for 2-3 months but with no payment this month that only increases. 

I have a very very close relationship with my Pastor and his wife. They are like my brother and sister and I trust their guidance and leadership more than I trust my own sometimes. At any rate... I talked to them today about a huge decision and was encouraged to move forward. It was a huge weight lifted from my shoulders.

There's only one element I'm waiting to fall into place before I completely cross the threshhold of this door I'm looking at. Tonight is the first night I'm pretty sure I'll rest.

FI told me today, " the way the devil is attacking us and will continue to attack it is important that we pray together so that we will have the victory over him. We have to continue to speak things over our lives and our children's lives."

I melted. Why? I've always wanted a man to pray with me... there's nothing more intimate than listening to a man thank God for you. Finally I... can share that part of my testimony.

Beautiful...you all are in my prayers although tomorrow is my official prayer day.

In brief, my testimony is that I have found my "IT". I know what I was put on this earth to do and God is ordering my steps to fulfill my purpose. I can feel it and I am just letting Him have His way with me right now. It isn't always easy, but it is working for my good and for the glory of His kingdom and that's alright with me!

AMEN ladies!  What a blessing this has been to me.  To see God just working in and through all of us.  I will continue to pray for you.  Thank you for praying for me.  xoxo
