I am here to talk about what God is doing in my life right now. I have mentioned before about how I got fired from my job back in December. Well, the enemy can be very deceptive at time but I have seen God literally bring things out to light. I went to interview after interview and they went really well. The only problem was, when they attempted to verify my previous employment, that my former boss wasn't returning the calls neither leading them in the direction that they needed to go to get that information. After so many calls, the prospective employers stopped calling which left me unemployed and hopeless. I can't tell you how many times I have literally sat in my house and cried. I was really messed up, but hopeful because even in the midst of it all, God had me to think about my "living conditions:. To sum it all up, I still have an apartment, I have food, I have clean clothes, I have shoes, I have lights, I have cable, I have Internet, etc... all of this and I was not employed... The amount of money that I received for unemployment literally put my income in under $800.00 per month. My rent is $800.00 per month.. so you know the crunch that I was feeling. On top of that, I still have a child to take care of. When I told her about the situations regarding my former employer, she cried and that hurt me even worse.

To not draw out this story, it is now June, and I still haven't found employment. I have been to a billion interviews, and had many great hopes, but still nothing... but God still provides. Money came from everywhere to help me. From the most unusual places money came... more than enough to even allow me to spend more time with my daughter. Now we bowl regularly. God just blessed me with favor in the most unusual places. God let me know and I know that it was His voice that told me that HE wasn't going to let me go under during this time. I didn't get a word from anyone else, but in the midst of my pain, God told me Himself and He is NOT slack concerning what He promised me. When promise is attached to your life from God, then you should rejoice because you inherited the unrestricted favor from the Creator of all things....

When I thought of this... God immediately took me to the scripture to the book of Genesis 22:14

In the previous verses, God told Abraham to sacrifice his son unto Him but God provided a ram in the bush for him instead. Abraham was blessed by his willingness to sacrifice the very thing that meant the world to Him unto God. Then I reflect on my life. I look at what I asked God for and once I decided to submit to His way of doing things, then He allowed things to happen to bring me to a a place where He can be glorified. It's no coincidence that God was glorified on a mountaintop where Abraham and Isaac were. So I believe that this is where God is taking me... I am in a strange place and its scary. But I am holding on to God by faith. I encourage you all who are going through some strange places in your life right now to hold on. It may not seem like God is there, but look at the birds, look at the sky, look at the trees, look at the food that you are eating, feel the air that you are breathing. He is there....

He instructs us in His word that by the mercies of God we present our bodies as a living sacrifice that is holy an acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service (Romans 12:1). When I uttered those words to God that "I wanted to be in His will and not my own and that I wanted to fulfill my destiny and purpose in Him to bring Him glory and honor then I lay myself on that altar believing that the ram is on its way... AS a matter of fact, I believe that the perfect sacrifice has already been made on Calvary, is being at the altar of God just reminds me that it is inevitable; it is finished and complete... that the blesses of God maketh rich and added no sorrow. That my destiny and your destiny will be fulfilled. So I encourage you to hang in there.... hold on... God has not forgotten about you... He is concerned about you.... He sees your tears.... He knows how long you have been waiting... He knows how hard it is to see everything and everyone around you prosper when you feel withered and dry.... God is there... He is there.....

In the midst of this trial, God has blessed me with some of the most beautiful songs that are currently in the process of being recorded... you will most definitely hear about the project and its release soon. I said this to say.... in the midst of your trial, present your best to God... if its a song, if its labor in the kingdom, if its prayer and intercession for our leaders and your families. Present it to God and He will provide for you....
