Today I would like to do nothing more than praise my Lord. Praise Him for His faithfulness. I want to praise Him for His promises and for His Word being true. For many years, my husband and I both had highly successful careers, which afforded us a life of ease and comfort. Not much worry went in to filling the kitchen cabinets or our electricity being shut off. Our cars were new, custom built home, pool, we had it all. We always were grateful to God for our blessings but after time we became "used" to it and grew accustomed to the life style. It was expected and taken for granted even though my husband worked in a sales commission job. We always made money. But when the economy went to the dumper, so did our livelihood. Things began to change and life was not so easy anymore. Your story the same as mine? Many of us have been effected by the world's financial crisis. What was once assumed now was uncertain. But I gotta tell you, it was the best thing that could have ever happened to us, as individuals and as a married couple. For the Lord God was not in the center of our lives. We were not attending church nor praying, nor were we acting the way a Christian should, even though we did believe. Therefore things needed to get stirred up and today we can declare that our lives have completely changed. I want to praise God for blessing my husband with a new full time job. He placed on my heart to open up my own business and do things on my own, with His help, not the help of man so I launched a new women's accessories store. We made it through the rain to the rainbow. The Lord spared our home and allowed us time to heal and time to repent and time to get to know Him again. Today we are whole and healthy and live to please God, not ourselves nor man. We are a Christian couple who has the Lord in the center of our marriage and whose daily life includes devotions, prayer and alone time with God. So I thank Him and I wanted to share just a snippet of my testimony to you for you may still be waiting for your ending. Your story may still be in the middle and there is a lot of waiting. I am here to encourage you to hold on and not give up. Pray with compassion, fervor and assurance. Our God is faithful and He does what He says He will do. So keep the Faith and trust Him today for all things! Be blessed!
Psalm 37:4-5
