Testimony Tuesday

djscat · September 2011

Good morning ladies, I pray that today finds you blessed. What has the Lord done for you this week? Did you get some good news? Share it here so we can celebrate with you. May the blessings that have run through this board continue to spread.

Sorry ladies this week I am feeling so low I can't even think of an encouraging word to share. Please hold me up in prayer as I hold ya'll up. I know this too shall pass and it will all work out. Yet in the mist of it I just don't see the light. Come one somebody share your testimony so I can feel some joy! Love you ladies. Be blessed.

Well in light of the upcoming 10th year anniversary of 9/11, I am just blessed period. I am here, my loved ones are here. No life is not perfect. I have an ailing Father, my Mom is having a hard time coping with taking care of my Father as well as herself, I am not where I want to be in a lot of ways. But I am here and I can smile and laugh. I've got a roof over my head, food to eat, I am warm, and I have safe running water. I am blessed for the things I have but more so for the things I don't have.

There are so many things going on in the world right now. We have so many things to be thankful for. Whatever problems you are having, turn it over to God. He will fight your battles for you. He did not promise us sunshine everyday. Sometimes he is gives us some trials to let us know that he is in control. You are so blessed in more ways than you realize. We serve an awesome God and he will always be there for us. Whatever you are going through at this moment, give it to God. Pray about it and put it in his hands. Once you pray about it, leave it alone, God will work it.
I have so many things to be thankful for and I am just so blessed to be here. I agree with the previous post. We are truly blessed. What she said is something to shout about. I hope this helps you. I will be praying for you.

I'd just like to share that with working with the disabled, young and old, it really makes me aware of all my blessings. So many things we take for granted, as simple as even bringing a spoon to our mouths. Ability to see, to feel, to acknowledge are what I call daily gifts from Him! We have sooo much to be thankful for! Also being able to see these same bed bound, disabled people still be able to smile and laugh is awesome. I think of days when im down and sad, yet I can walk, run, travel, do as I please and you have these people that can smile but can not even leave their bed and I feel so ashamed at myself and ungrateful. So thankful for all the many blessings and I pray that despite any bumps in the road we all may have, just know that we can cross those bumps whereas some people have barriers in the road that cannot be crossed. Be blessed and joyous in the life we are given!!

Thanks ladies you are helping me to pick myself up, dust myself off, and get back to being my happy self. God is bigger than any problem I have. I am changing my focus from the problem to the solution which is God. So blessed to have you ladies in my life!

I have been gone for a little while, and I just saw this Testimony Tuesday post....what a great idea!

As a woman who was able to marry the man that God created specfically for me - I have to say that every day I thank God for blessing me with my husband. He is thoughtful, kind, caring, tries very hard to please me/understand me, takes care of me, celebrates me and loves me like no other!

I know all of you on this board can testify that your DH/FI is the best thing that has happened to you...enjoy your significant other, don't be afraid to tell him how much he means to you and surprise him with something nice today!

(I surprised my husband today by fixing him a foot bath b/c his heels have been sore lately - used epsom salt, peppermint oil, etc. and he LOVED IT. It's all about the little things ya'll!!

djscat--praying for honey! May you continued to be uplifted by those around you!

I've learned that I'm not the great communicator that I thought I was. Unfortunately this has been an issue between FI and me recently. FI pointed out that I have not been as assertive in expressing how I feel anymore. As we are progressing closer to marriage our discussions have been more serious. In my previous relationship I was in an emotionally abusive, manipulative relationship with a man who basically verbally beat the livelihood and confidence out of me. (It saddens me to say that this man was a pastor of the church and admitted to me that he was "molding" me into his first lady) FI used to warn me all the time that the relationship was going to get worse and so bad that he might hit me. But I knew I would never let it get that far and fortunately it never did. However, FI expressed to me that I'm not that same person he remembers that was confident, spoke her mind, and was always tactful in doing so. Lately in many of our discussions I have failed to completely voice my opinion and how I disagreed with something or how it may have hurt my feelings because I had this residual fear from my past relationship that I would be verbally attacked for speaking my mind to this man. I thank God that FI is not like that and is so supportive and encourages me daily and recognizes that this is an issue and reassures me that it is one we must and will work through. Today we had a misunderstanding and at first I backed away from the discussion and then said no, wait this is how I feel...and I expressed myself and I felt like my old self again and the joy in FI voice was so reassuring. It was as if she was saying...She's BAAAAAAACK! So I'm taking back what the devil stole from me. (He definitely was working through my ex) And I rejoice today!!! Because I shall recover it all!!

*Excuse me while I have a moment of praise!!!!!!!!!*

Have a great week everyone!!

I know I'm late but God blessed me with a new job this week!!! Great work environment, salary, benefits, etc.! I have been praying for a new job for 4 months because I was unemployed and God showed up and showed out! and I'm so grateful. I promise if you just continue to seek his face, have faith in his word, and pray faithfully he will answer your prayer!!!!

PrettyCW5 · September 2011

Congrats on the new job sheikscorpio!!!!
