so keep on running!I added a quote from former POW, General Robbie Risner, to the side bar. When asked how he survived over seven years in a Vietnamese prison camp he said it was prayer. Others even said that his faith and optimism is what got them through.
What a testimony. I have a friend whose testimony is the boldest example of God's power in my life. She is a product of a single mother who was also the product of single mother, grew up on welfare and also was sexually abused for a number of years in her childhood. All of that has occurred in her life and she still was able to break the cycle of kids out of wedlock, become a university graduate and an outstanding woman of God. And when you ask her how did she get over the molestation or any of the bad things what does she say? God. Nothing more and nothing less. That reminds me of His awesome power time and time again.
So when people see me in Church 24-7 they truly don't know why I'm there. They (even Christians) might think it's weird that I over church or fellowship so much but I look at it this way:
The best thing about it is that the more I answer to His call and am obedient and faithful the more faithful He is towards me.
I told my friend yesterday before prayer meeting that "I can't just be giving out my prayers to anyone: I'm on fire. Everything I've prayed for I've been getting!" Thank God that prayer is free! Or else I'd really be as selfish as the joke I made.
I prayed for God to send me a job by August 1 and He did...a great paying one! and I prayed for a cheap ticket to Toronto, the day before I had to be there, and He did it. I prayed for Him to find a heart for my Dad's transplant and for me to hear back from my employers for another contract by August 28 and while my Dad's heart hasn't come yet my contract did...at even more pay. While a new heart for dad would have been better than a job, I know that God has a plan.
This whole year I've spent worrying and praying for God to make a way for me to participate in 3 weddings in 3 different countries and He did it! I had no full-time job but he made a way! And now I have an awesome testimony! Staying in His presence is what strengthened me and brought me through.
Read Isaiah 55 and be encourage!
1 "Come, all you who are thirsty,
come to the waters;
and you who have no money,
come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without cost.

- They don't know what God has done for me
- They don't know how much I need from God
- They truly must not know the power of the God we serve-it is my duty and honour to layout before Him

2 Why spend money on what is not bread,
and your labor on what does not satisfy?
Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good,
and your soul will delight in the richest of fare.
