Testimonies

Matthew 6:31 So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' There are many things I have worried about especially being a mother and wife. Things such as worrying about how this or that will get paid and even what will we eat? Now that I have whole heartly cast my cares on God I have truly felt the presence of him. Also, I can truly say I know what the peace that surpasses all understanding feels like! I have literally said over and over I surrendered"certain" things and really didn't in reality. Now that I have surrendered EVERYTHING over to God my father it feels GREAT!....Just a few days ago our food started to get very low to the point all I cared about is making sure my husband and kids ate because at this time I was fasting from any food. May I add GOD is so faithful! When you earnestly seek him you will find him!! My husband checked his ebt card which he hasn't gotten food benefits for

1Samuel 15:22 “Has the Lord as great a delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices As in obedience to the voice of The Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, And to heed [is better] than the fat of rams. My son has been struggling in school since he has started Kindergarten on August 23. It was hard for me because he was having a hard time. Anytime my children are down or feeling anykind of way I feel it as well. It hurts to be honest if they're feeling anything but happy! I started getting irritated and so on about even the showing of less compassion from the staff at his school. I blamed them and God put it in my heart to look at myself​. Once I did that the Holy Spirit came to me to start a water only fast. I begin to start and give up and not be  obedient. I've been praying and praying. Also, I've been meditatating and reading the word of God. Well I decided to start a water fast today and been praying more and more than I ever have for not just my son,but

Matthew 5:44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, I knew the moment I found out that I was having a boy that he was someone special and such a blessing in many ways! Starting kindergarten has been rough for him. He has started to act out in ways that was very shocking to me. I just felt in my spirit that it was something deeper than that. In particular one day upon picking him up from school for an emergency removal. There was a guy who came off as very rude towards my son. Immediately I got frustrated with him. The holy Spirit later it on my heart it was deeper than that. Also, the holy Spirit then put it in my heart to go home and pray for this man. I prayed for him and a few days later we had a meeting where it was just myself and him and he then proceeded to tell me voluntarily he had a 5yr old son whom suffers from a disability where he struggles talking and getting words out. My heart then began to ache for him and I lifted his entire family a

1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing. Nobody wants to ever hear anything bad about our kids we deeply love! While being so exited to know that God blessed me with a son meant so much to me! Knowing that he has now started kindergarten gave me chills and let's me know I'm not getting younger,lol. Boy oh boy my son has had it rough in kindergarten since it has started in Aug. Being a parent takes HARDWORK! I had to remove him from one class and building to another building and new teacher. It helped for a little and gotten worse. One thing I can say about my 5yr old is that he KNOWS God and believes in praying! There are times when I honestly am not thinking about praying and he comes in our room asking to pray! He literally prays ANYWHERE without any shame! He prays at school like it's no tomorrow. He even makes statements like " mommy I prayed and it didn't help me have a good day". I always tell him don't ever stop Praying and he has to believe! Fro

Psalm 34:4 NIV I sought the Lord , and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. We must not allow ourselves to get comfortable. Not let ourselves get to the point where when trials and tribulations come it brings us out our comfort zone in a negative way. Upon losing my job in May 2017 I started finding something to do to take better care of myself like working out more. There is a daycare all three of my children attend that is great in several ways! While finding out one morning that my case with childcare was no longer active I then begin to worry. Knowing that worrying wasn't going to do anything but makes matter worse. I proceeded to go ahead to the gym that day and I literally started praying that God took that feeling away from me. I being to workout listening to Priscilla Shirer sermon on fear and boy did the Holy Spirit speak to me! God's word tells us he didn't give us the spirit of fear! We must learn to seek God in every moment of our lives. When we

Isaiah 55:8‭-‬9 NIV “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord .  “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. Why would someone be ok with losing a job? I can answer this question. After being on a job for over 3years and it coming to what some may think an "end". For me it wasn't the "end" it was just my "assignment" at that job was over. With wisdom, knowledge and understanding from God over the years just strengthened me. He says in Jeremiah 29:11 he knows the plans he has for us... GOD knew about this day way before I could even begin to think about it. I not only handled this departure in a positive way, but I remember me telling my former office manager " Okay and this is something i have no control over God has control over this so I'm fine". The look that was given to me was undescribable. From this point I kne

Luke 17:6 NIV He replied, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you. No parent wants to see there children hurt in any kind of way! I had to experience that feeling as my daughter went through a trial. My daughter took a test in the 3rd grade that would determine whether she got promoted to 4th. Well scores were in and she didn't pass. One of the options were to attend summer school. We decided to go with summer school. The test was given again(2 versions). One for the city and state. Summer school was then over after one month of completing it. Scores were sent home and to find out she didn't pass the city test and we had to wait to receive the state scores.  Upon waiting school was approaching really fast! Here goes, school has started and no scores yet. First day of school of course I had to take her😍. To know that she had to stand in the 3rd grade line that she was so emba

Mark 10:9 NIV Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” It's true that majority of the women in the world dream about that fairytale wedding or meeting the guy of her dreams right?. Well, to be honest I wasn't one of these women. I've always wanted to be married and so on. Also, fairytale or big weddings never been my favorite. While being here in Ohio and been through what I've been through I still had hope and I knew that God had someone for me. I met a man that was "different". I mean I honestly thought I would be married to someone different than him. It was something about him though.I've grown to know that whatever God has planned it seems to always feel impossible or unlikely for it to happen to you. I'm a living witness that God does EVERYTHING for a reason. He put whom I met in 2012 and myself together. Now being married to my husband for 3years now and counting....Yes we have had ups and downs,but I'm learning to tr

Romans 8:28 NIV And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. That moment when another trial come! Upon getting released from the hospital to find out the job I had didn't want me to return. Even though I had excuses to prove what was going on with me that didn't help at all. Not sure about you, but to go from one trial to another seemed like alot for me, but I didn't let that keep me down. I then said I'll just go back to school  to further my career in the medical field (Certified Medical Assistant). I completed the course and graduated! While in class I met this older lady that I became really close to fairly quick. God really does put people in our lives for seasons and reasons. Shortly after the hospital and losing my job, my vehicle broke down. Not only did my vehicle break down,but the mechanic I took it to not only took my car he took my money also with it. I tried my best to fight

Isaiah 53:5 .......By his wounds we are healed. While being in Springfield, Ohio I didn't have any idea what was next for my daughter and myself. All I knew was it would be "Change". My daughter and Myself then moved to Columbus,Ohio. My first job I got in Columbus was working at a call center.In November 2010 while at work one day a pain came and out the blu; all I know it was unbearable in so many ways! In  I then left work to go to the emergency room. Only being in Columbus for 3months I didn't understand what God was doing. Once the doctor's did numerous tests along with a bone biopsy. They found what it was to be a spot on my pelvic bone. There were concerns about me having bone cancer. All I could do at this point was remain calm,but I remember my mom telling me she prayed and she said "Baby God removed that spot you're going to be fine". Understanding what she meant,but not fully understanding what was gonna happen to me. I do remember I wasn

Deuteronomy 31:8 NIV The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” I became a mother to my first Daugher August 2, 2008. When she was placed in my arms I knew then that this little person would depend me. All these feelings flooded my mind and overall gave me such a over joyous feeling of having someone that would call me mommy! In my eyes it was crunch time. I truly thank God for parents that loved me with everything in them. From this point I knew I had it in me to work taking it I got my first job at 15yrs old. Having a child for the first time meant giving he/she the best of world. I did my best to make that happen for her. It still seemed as though there was something missing. I wanted to still have some type of freedom with going out partying etc. I mean come now I was only "20 yrs old" that still had some fun to have. I did just that off and on until she turned two. Thank God

Jeremiah 29:11 NIV For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord , “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. I have experienced many test that turned into testimonies. To be honest while going through these tests it didn't feel good at all. While one of my biggest accomplishments I did was graduate high school in May 2006. I also went to technical college in Louisiana and completed a course to receive my CNA certificate. At this point it seemed as though I was on a roll on my way to being a adult. Along with being an adult I had to start going to routine Check-ups for example pap smear"It's a Woman thang" and etc. What I thought to be only a routine check up turned into shocking news. Towards the end of 2006 beginning of 2007 my Gyneocologist spoke with my mom and myself about my papsmear results. He then told us I had what was called HPV( Human Papillomavirus).I then panicked and he told me the breakdown of this vir
