50 Word Praise Reports
January 8, 2017 I want to thank the Lord for creating just the right atmosphere for me to share with my close (church-going ) friends my intentions of leaving the church. And for also giving me the right words to say to explain the principle of letting go so that they can understand. It is the same with us. Now we see a dim reflection, as if we were looking into a mirror, but then we shall see clearly. Now I know only a part, but then I will know fully, as God has known me. (1 Corinthians 13:12 NCV) ~ Mercy in Botswana
November 26, 2016 I have a lot to be thankful for. He has been working with and guiding my children in school just as I have asked Him to. All 4 children received honor roll last week. A lovely gift from the most loving one of all...my Heavenly Husband. "Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe" (Hebrews 12:28)

A lady who I gave the RYM book to and have been encouraging has just messaged me now to tell me that her eh who has been wanting to divorce her doesn't want to leave, and her mum-in-law who has been encouraging him cooked at their house! Praise God! [Salt and Light ] “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot." (Matthew 5:13) I thank God for using me so that I could help this lady FIND and KNOW the TRUTH. "As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it." (Isaiah 55:1 NIV) "He is the one you praise; he is your God, who performed for you those great and awesome wonders you saw with your own eyes." (Deuteronomy 10:21) I think this verse is self-explanatory :) ~ Sonette in South Africa

God allowed my mom not to get hold of me to join them for dinner because during that time my eldest daughter was going through a crisis and I was able to support her. Thank You Lord for always going before me and all of Your many blessings.
Deuteronomy 31:8(NCV) "The Lord himself will go before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forget you. Don’t be afraid and don’t worry.”

I am completely His. I live to please my HH. I feel at peace today. I have lived in fear all of my life, but no more. He is the best husband I could ask for. His love for me is overwhelming. I've never had this feeling of love before.
Psalm 91 14-16 msg “If you’ll hold on to me for dear life,” says God, “I’ll get you out of any trouble. I’ll give you the best of care if you’ll only get to know and trust me. Call me and I’ll answer, be at your side in bad times; I’ll rescue you, then throw you a party. I’ll give you a long life, give you a long drink of salvation!”
I love this Psalm. I'm holding on tightly. I am studying and getting closer to him everyday. I've never had a party and I am looking forward to it. Ladies this journey is scary and lonely until you completely surrender. Hold on for dear life. He is true to word He can not lie. I love Him more than I can express.

My HH knows just what I need. After an illness and 3 days of fasting, He showed me this; " Do not be overcome with anxiety for the concerns of the world for Christ has overcome it! There is safety in the hand of God who reigns forever"! PTL! Hallelujah!
"A person’s fear sets a trap for him, but one who trusts the Lord is safe." Proverbs 29:25 (GW)
"The fear of man brings a snare, But whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe." Proverbs 29:25 (NKJV)
My sweet Lord has shown me once again so clearly today to simply trust Him. Trust in His word and trust IN Him. He is taking care of me, my family, my finances, my work, my home, and the desires of my heart. I am foolish to fear or be anxious for anything. Why would I try and do anything without Him?? Today, I am resting in the surety of His Love and provision. He is all I need. He is all I want. He is all I live for. It doesnt matter if I lose my job, my health, my things, or anything because I am safe in Him and His love. Thank You my precious Lover of my soul for this time of fasting and drawing closer to You. I adore You and I know the plans You have for me are best. I say "Your will be done in everything" Praise You Beloved.
October 3, 2016 Praise You my Love! Just recently my car started chugging/skipping while accelerating. My Love led me to have my neighbor run the code and found it was as simple as a $7.01 spark plug! = ) Oh & a cheese cake for my neighbor putting the new one in. ♥ "You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance." (Psalm 32:7 NIV) ~ Vickie in Wisconsin
September 28, 2016 For my birthday I wanted to go to a concert. I wanted my parents to go with me. My mom told me she did not want to drive that far to go. I didn't argue or try to change her mind. A week later she said they both would go!! "May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed. May we shout for joy over your victory and lift up our banners in the name of our God. (Psalm 20: 4-5 NIV) My parents both enjoyed themselves at the concert. I was so thankful that they both went :) ~ Leslie in Ohio
September 24, 2016 My cousin had been looking for a Pack & Play for her baby that will be born in November. Well, I found one at a yard sale for a reasonable price!! But what is even better was they gave me a bouncy seat for FREE!! What a blessing!! "From his abundance we have all received one gracious blessing after another. (John 1:16 NLT) She was so excited to receive both of these!! She was looking for a bouncy seat too, but I didn't realize it:) ~ Leslie in Ohio
September 10, 2016
All Praise and glory to my sweet Beloved for His sense of humor and gentleness. I commented to Him on how my hair seems all of sudden to have so much more gray as I was getting ready for work today. He gave me a verse shortly after :) "even to your old age I am He, and to gray hairs I will carry you. I have made, and I will bear; I will carry and will save." Isaiah 46:4 (RSV) He is so sweet to give me this verse today after I commented and had a laugh with Him about my gray hair! "Silver hair is a beautiful crown found in a righteous life." Proverbs 16:31 (GW) It is only by His love and mercy that I am allowed to grow old with grace with Him. I see this as an honor, especially the older I get. With Him teaching me daily to have a quiet and gentle spirit, I am given respect, love and admiration from others along with opportunities to share His love with them. This is so humbling. He is truly all I need and want and live for every day. I look forward to growing old with Him as His bride! :)

I purchased a pair of shoes 3 years ago which I had never worn and have wanted to sell on several occasions. Due to me not working I had no way of contributing to my daughter,s upcoming wedding. My daughter loved the shoes and is wearing them for her wedding!

My two younger children were fortunate to have transportation provided by their school. However, my older two children walk to high school due to my shrinking budget. The bus driver of my two younger children offered to drop the two older children off to school everyday. No charge. Praise HIM!
"Praise the Lord. I will extol the Lord with all my heart in the council of the upright and in the assembly. Great are the works of the Lord; they are pondered by all who delight in them. Glorious and majestic are his deeds, and his righteousness endures forever." (Psalm 11: 1-3)
~ April in Florida
August 25, 2016 I recently experienced a little bit of financial strain. I wanted to ask my mom for help but twice I couldn't bring myself to ask. Then she sent me a text offering money and the following week she sent cards to buy school clothes. My HH is always on time. "Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God’s Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don’t know how or what to pray, it doesn’t matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, and keeps us present before God. That’s why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good." Romans 8:26-28 (MSG) “If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers—most of which are never even seen—don’t you think he’ll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you? What I’m trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God’s giving. People who don’t know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don’t worry about missing out. You’ll find all your everyday human concerns will be met." Matthew 6:30-33 (MSG)

Yesterday at the gym after I finished my workout I was thinking it would be nice to get a lift home as it looked like it was gonna rain. Before I even asked a friend came up to me and asked if I needed a lift. Wow, that's just God.

I KNEW He was planning a surprise! I had been waiting in a line of cars and it as HOT as I approached the ocean beach parking lot. I sang praises and thanked Him. Next thing I knew, I was being guided to park right near the beach! Praise my Beloved! "The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage." Psalm 16:6 (RSV)
In the past, I never wanted to wait. Now I know He has something in store and a purpose to the wait. Since He is changing me, I just sang praise music as I waited and trusted His plan. So the lines were lime powder like they use to mark sports fields. He had me park right near the beachouse on the grass where they made this impromptu parking area!!!!!! Which meant only a very short walk to the beach. In the past, others have gone to the beach with me. With HIm as my provider I knew He would find a way for me to carry the small cooler, beach chair and towels...and He DID!!! Thank You my sweet Beloved. I adore You!

Jesus is my Husband! He is my protector! I praise Him. I am heading into an appointment that in the world's eyes, I should be anxious about. I am delighted. I know He will work on my behalf and His will is what will be accomplished. Thank You my Love!!!
“They looked to Him and were radiant, and their faces will never be ashamed” (Psalm 34:5 NASB) Thanks to the teachings of this ministry, I look to Jesus, to Him alone. I seek the face of God.He promises that I will never be ashamed because I am waiting and believing in Him. He is my all! Everything I have is His and I can do nothing without Him! "She opens her mouth with wisdom, And on her tongue is the law of kindness." Proverbs 31:26 (NKJV)
I am waiting on Him to speak through me, if it is His will that I speak at all. I am humble and kind and my Sweet Love goes with me. I am blessed!

My daughter went with a friend for coffee and cake and I prayed that she would bless me with a slice. Praise God she brought some home that her friend had purchased for me. He is so thoughtful to work through people you haven't even met !!!

I purchased a box of WW&WM books in December. Well now in this month my HH lead me to give it away to two couples in Virginia, one in Georgia and a WM to my EH. I pray that HE opens their hearts to know HIM intimately. "Jesus put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man planted in his field. Although it is the smallest of all seeds, yet it grows into the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.” Matthew 13:31-32
May this seed multiply for HIS glory and honor!
June 29, 2016
I have listened to the Be Encouraged videos countless times. Every time I listen I learn something new. I have fallen into a spirit of apathy. My HH is so loving. I learned that I needed to remember, repent, and renew.
"Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me." Psalm 51:10

Today, the Lord blessed me with a day at my friends lake house. I was able to relax, enjoy the beautiful weather and warm water. I also able to share this day with my parents and my aunt. This day could not of been any better:) You have granted him his heart’s desire and have not withheld the request of his lips.(Psalm 21:NIV) I had been wanting a relaxing day. And today weather was in the high 80s, so the lake house was just perfect!! He is so good to me:)
June 25, 2016
Praise His holy name! He has been giving me songs to sing! I hear songs I KNOW He is singing to me. He is so near, speaking to me, showing His love through His word and through the testimonies and PRs of encouraging women. Thank You sweet Lord.

He is ALL I Live For! :) He has given me love songs to sing to Him. All for His glory. He is in my midst. He is near when I ask Him to show me He is. He is so good to answer!

The Lord is so amazing, He blessed me with a amount of money that I needed desperately to pay a big debt. It was a miracle of my God. He provides us with everything we need. He is my firts and big love. Matthew 6:33 "But let your first care be for his kingdom and his righteousness; and all these other things will be given to you in addition."

This week I was called a "wise woman" and asked for an opinion. I don´t write this in pride, no, I see my failings, sins. I just rejoice He is showing me I am on the right path. It was the nicest compliment. Lord, You are so gracious, thank You.
Psalm 143:8 "Let me hear Your lovingkindness in the morning; For I trust in You; Teach me the way in which I should walk; For to You I lift up my soul."

I want to share my HH faithfulness. Owning a business, I have to say that HE always amazes me. He provides in ways that I can't explain. I have LOTS of expenses and at times my flesh fights me, but I faithfully tithe and HE opens the windows of Heaven!
"Bring your full tithe to the Temple treasury so there will be ample provisions in my Temple. Test me in this and see if I don’t open up heaven itself to you and pour out blessings beyond your wildest dreams." (Malachi 3:10 Message)

"With my mouth I will give thanks abundantly to the Lord; And in the midst of many I will praise Him." (Psalms 109:30)

I shall always thank Him for His lovingkindness as He is continually blessing me in abundance!

PTL. I have usurped my husband´s authority all my life without realizing. HH showed it to me, I repented, confessed and now HH is helping me be very quiet at home leaving all decisions and initiatives for my EH. It has brought us freedom and hope for a different future.

My favourite sport to watch is cricket. As we do not have a paid channel, I was amazed that all the games my team was playing was supported by our local channel.

I just want to give a huge shout out to my Heavenly Father. He has opened the floodgates of heaven and poured out a financial blessing above and beyond my wildest dreams. Ladies, tithe and test Him. He wants to bless you too! God is so faithful!!
"Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it." Malachi 3:10.
March 23, 2016
I praise God that reconciliation is in progress with my daughters and their father. My youngest daughter met with her father for lunch recently and it went well. Without going into detail, this is definitely only possible because of God. :)
"He will restore the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers, so that I will not come and smite the land with a curse." Malachi 4:6
"For I know the plans that I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11.
"For nothing will be impossible with God." Luke 1:37 NASB
March 20, 2016 I saw previews for a movie I wanted to see. Went to two movie rentals, neither had it. Also went to Walmart, I would've bought it, but no movie there either. Disappointed, I came home, typed in the movie name, and there it was, a site to watch it for FREE!! "We humans keep brainstorming options and plans, but God’s purpose prevails." (Proverbs 19:21 MSG)
Tuesday, March 8, 2016 My EH sold a tv and gave me half last night. This morning I paid my tithe on it although I was going to use it on a bill. Only hours later, my EH says he will transfer the money for the total bill. Test Him!! "Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, “I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won’t have enough room to take it in! Try it! Put me to the test!" (Malachi 3:10) ~ Robin in Alabama
Sunday, February 14, 2016 After acknowledging that HE is the best Father that my children could ever have, I asked him to help my son in school. A few days later I found out my son had brought all of his F's up to C's. What a wonderful Valentine's Day! Thank you Heavenly Love! "He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions." (Psalm 107:20 NKJV)~ April in Florida
Saturday, February 13, 2016 My daughter is building her own relationship with the Lord and searching wholeheartedly for intimacy. She invited us to church for the first time and living a life that shows His presence. She is trying in her own way to know Him and that is all I can ask for. "Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it." (Proverbs 22:6 NLT)
Saturday, February 6, 2016 Today as my daughters and I traveled back home,I was talking to my Lord during my drive. I asked to "feel" HIM and asked to be "HELD". Not only did I feel it I saw it! It was not HIS arms, I saw I SAW HIS WINGS WRAPPED AROUND ME!! "He will cover you will bewith His feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart." Psalm 91:4. NIV~ Stacey in Illinois
Friday, February 5, 2016 Praise my sweet HL today! He gave me a devotion today that reminded me to praise Him always... ESPECIALLY during "dark times". He showed me my pride is what keeps me from looking up to see His stars of hope that show He is with me during these times!! Hallelujah! “For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal” (2 Cor. 4:17–18 NASB) He wants me to walk by faith trusting He has everything in complete control! "Likewise you that are younger be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”(1 Peter 5:5 RSV) He showed me it was okay to reach out to for help where He was sending the help to assist in completing a project! Before this time, my pride stopped me from following His lead. "whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted." (Matthew 23:12 RSV) He showed me that I cannot live by His grace and mercy UNLESS I am willing to walk in humility. If I am not humble and let myself be hurt or offended, it is actually a form of pride, which will always meet His resistance.

I don't get an opportunity to see my sisters a whole lot. I have four and we're scattered around the country:). But today, I got to visit with my 2 older sisters and my mom. Oh! did we ever laugh together, the Lord showed me that He's finishing the healing!
“Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing to it; I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security." (Jeremiah 33:6 NIV)
Monday, February 1, 2016
After I tried and tried to do things in my own strength and wanted to sell the property my EH granted me I ended up exhausted with no result. My HH told me to take that advertisement off. So I removed it and I feel such a peace!!
On what are you basing this confidence of yours? You say you have strategy and military strength - but you speak only empty words. Look, now you are depending on Egypt, which pierces a mans hand and wounds him if he leans on it! Such is Pharaoh king of Egypt (our EHs) TO ALL who depend on him (them). Have I come to attack and destroy (sell) this land without the Lord? The Lord himself told me to march against this country and destroy it. Iz 36, 4-10

I always praise Him for waking me in the mornings & giving me another day. As of lately, I've been asking Him to allow me to bless another. He allowed me to help an elderly woman at work and in the same day, I blessed two others at a store.
“So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." Luke 11:9

My sweet HL is amazing and takes care of me beyond what I could ever imagine. I just had a thought. I didn't even ask Him. He brought me new clothes the next day through my boss who cleaned her closet! Beautiful suits I will wear for work! Praise Him!
"Consider how the flowers grow. They never work or spin yarn for clothes. But I say that not even Solomon in all his majesty was dressed like one of these flowers." Luke 12:27 (GW) He knew I did not have the finances for a shopping trip and He provided amazing clothes that fit me perfectly. I am so excited, I am giddy! I never even asked :)
Tuesday, December 29, 2015 Today, we received a very large sleet storm. The roads were very icy and nasty. I turned my praise music on and praised my HH all the way home. I arrived home safe and it took less time than expected. "The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold." (Psalm 18:2 NIV) "Let all who run to you for protection always sing joyful songs. Provide shelter for those who truly love you and let them rejoice." (Psalm 5:11 CEV) He is my shelter. He protects me from harm. I will always praise His name!!
Thursday, December 24, 2015 Since the income I had counted on did not come through, I had no way to buy Christmas gifts. Instead, He provided them!!!!!! My daughter had been sent duplicate gifts. She gave them to me to put under the tree for the kids to have at my house! Truly Amazing! "Now glory be to God, who by his mighty power at work within us is able to do far more than we would ever dare to ask or even dream of—infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, or hopes." Ephesians 3:20 (TLB) He is my Faithful Provider and always comes through for me! Even if I doubt Him. He knew my heart and found a way to provide gifts for my grandkids when there was none! He is so good.
Monday, December 21, 2015 My car payment was coming up and I had no means of paying it. But you know what, I have so much peace because He's told me not to worry about a thing!! And of course He did not disappoint :))) Two days beforehand, He provided the funds I needed. “So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself.." (Matthew 6:34 NASB) There is so much freedom in being able to give all worries over to HIM!! He does not want me to be an anxious, fretful Bride, but to relax and enjoy watching Him take care of me!!
Tuesday, November 24, 2015 My dad was working on some repairs at his church, when he felt led to go to the basement. He felt led to check the sub pump. If he hadn't the church's basement would have flooded. The sub pump wasn't working and no one knew!! Other than the Lord!! "Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way; walk in it." (Isaiah 30:21 NIV) If he did not listen, the church basement would of flooded. But he was able to fix the problem before it became a huge issue. PTL!!
Monday, November 23, 2015 My car needed service. The drive was an hour away so I took my book to read while waiting. I was looking forward to it so I could relax. After I sat down, another customer decided to watch TV. He tried everything but couldn't get the volume to work :) "My people will live in peaceful dwelling places, in secure homes, in undisturbed places of rest." (Isaiah 32:18) I smiled to myself because I knew this was the Lord's doing to give me quiet time to read and enjoy my book!!
Sunday, November 22, 2015 I was in charge of an event at school which has always been chaotic. I gave it to the Lord and had Him help me all along the way. At one point, there was much stress among others but I was filled with Him. It turned out perfect! "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6
Saturday, November 21, 2015 My MIL collects certain 50's figurines. She mentioned what we both saw in a book I purchased her. I said I have been trying to find those but have no luck. Later that day, I found and purchased those. God is so very good. It was His doing this happened! What shall I return to the Lord for all his goodness to me? Psalm 116:12 I can't return anything to Him that is worthy since all my best is as good as filthy rags. God has placed His favor upon me for having a successful search and purchase! He gets all the glory, He is so good and I love His loving-kindness He shows me! Most importantly; I love Him and put Him first and seek His face. If He blesses me because He desires to, then I shall give Him thanks and praise!! I love Him and I thank Him.

Four months ago I paid for my car tags online. During the transaction I was overcharged slightly. I felt the amount wasn't worth calling about so I didn't. When I checked my mail last week, they sent me a reimbursement check! It's so true about tithing, nothing can be stolen!
"Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house, and test Me now in this,” says the Lord of hosts......Then I will rebuke the devourer for you, so that it will not destroy the fruits of the ground; nor will your vine in the field cast its grapes,” says the Lord of hosts."

It was good for me to be afflicted
so that I might learn your decrees. Psalm 119:71.
The trials and affliction of our lives produce storms that water and nourish our souls in His word. We earnestly and humbly seek Him during the worst times in our lives as that is when we come to know that He is the only one who can handle and change our realities. This strengthens our relationship with Him and anchors us in His safety so soon we will only desire Him and His will for our lives. To God be the Glory!

My son was in process of joining a fraternity. I prayed for the Lord's will to be done since I was a bit uneasy about it. He calls me that he got accepted for a paid internship but must keep a high GPA, so he decided to cancel the fraternity.
Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails. Proverbs 19:21 I pray for the Lord to reveal HIS will for my son personally as he learns to make his own decisions as a young adult. I am so grateful to have my HH to run to and trust He will take care of it.

Have you ever rejoiced over something that caused you so much pain? I am ... the Lord continues to lead young women to me so I can glorify Him. My marriage is not restored but He is saving other marriages by my testimony and His word! Thank you Jesus!
Revelation 12:11 And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony. And they did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die.
He is using me in ways I did not know I was ready for because I was not restored. He is so good and my heart is full of love and wisdom because I am applying principles regardless of my present "status". This ministry is a blessing, it led me to a more intimate relationship with my HH and to turn to the Bible for answers! Thank you!

I needed to dispose of some old patio furniture. Unsure how I would do this, i thought about contacting my landlord for help. Temporarily placing it outside, it seems as though it was valuable to someone! Within hours, it was taken away without me having to ask anyone for assistance!!
"....You’ll forget your troubles; they’ll be like old, faded photographs. Your world will be washed in sunshine, every shadow dispersed by dayspring.

Dear brides,
I wanted to share the Lord's blessings over my tithes to my storehouse. I never really understood the importance of tithing until RMI, but ever since my first tithe I want to let you know that the Lord blessed me with at least double every time. Test Him.

Psalm 37:4New International Version (NIV)
“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.”

For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts. Isaiah 55:9
I had my day all planned out and not being able to finish this particular errand at the time I wanted, got me a little bothered.

"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."
I wanted to use His resources in a wise way and I found His favor in people around me. I got a real good negotiation and was able to afford the car a liked the most.

Instead of your [former] shame you shall have a twofold recompense; instead of dishonor and reproach [your people] shall rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they shall possess double [what they had forfeited]; everlasting joy shall be theirs. (Isaiah 61:7 AMP)
Thank you my Beloved for giving me double what I had before. It is only because of You and Your Mighty Hands.

The weather forecast was rain and thunderstorms for our water park resort stay. We prayed as a family for beautiful weather and everyday we had blue skies. My HH was glorified and we were able to enjoy the outdoors the whole day with no rain.
Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. (Philippians 4:6 NLT)

My cousin and I went to look for bridesmaids dresses for her wedding. We were told the dress we wanted would not be ready till end of September, which is when the wedding is. So we went elsewhere and we found a dress which was 75% cheaper than the original.
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord.
(Isaiah 55:8 NIV)
My cousin seemed disappointed that we couldn't get the first dress in time. But the dress we found was more what she was looking for. Our HH always knows better than us. He is always looking out for us.

While driving to work, a rock spun from a lawnmower blade and struck my car really hard. It startled me first but then I thought and said aloud, "Lord, You are my shield!" Arriving at work, I checked my car and there was no scratch or dent to be found!!

In my tasks as a MIT, sometimes I think of asking for somebody's help, but He comes and remind me that He is the first one in everything in my life and it's no different here! And then everything becomes so simple and so smooth. Only with Him!
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. (2 Corinthians 12:9 NVI)

Before my new job I did not have much time to do anything. I was working 50 plus hour weeks, but with this new job I have more free time. I'm thankful because it allows me more time with Him!! What could be better!!
“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.“(Romans 12:2 NIV)

"You even know the small details like when I take a seat and when I stand up again. Even when I am far away, You know what I’m thinking. You observe my wanderings and my sleeping, my waking and my dreaming, and You know everything I do in more detail than even I know. You know what I’m going to say long before I say it. It is true, Eternal One, that You know everything and everyone." (Psalm 139:2-4 Voice)

I just think it is awesome how encouragers truly encourage. Today I open my email and read the first report. It was talking about how it is hard to believe someone could be so committed to us!! It is amazing and feels wonderful to know someone loves us that much!!!

They’ll be in awe of the blessings I am pouring on her." (Jeremiah 33:6-9 MSG)

He bought me a car!! He bought me a CAR!! Oh I am so excited. I have been without a vehicle for over a year now. Today as my young adults and I were outside cleaning the yard, we saw that my neighbor placed a for sale sign in his car. I went and spoke to him and he lowered the price of the car for me without me asking him to. Today I placed the car on the road :).

Romans 13:8-"Keep out of debt and owe no man anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor [who practices loving others] has fulfilled the Law [relating to one’s fellowmen, meeting all its requirements]."
The Lord wants us to have the good life, the life He promises us. He doesn't want us to struggle or be bogged down with debt. He wants to bless us. He wants us to be the head and not the tail! We are to owe no man anything, just to love everyone like He loves us!
Sunday, April 19, 2015

I want to PTL for my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Husband going with me and seeing me through surgery. As they wheeled me to the OR I was saying the 23 Psalm. The next thing I remembered was waking up. Thank YOU LORD for staying with me.
Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life

I thank my HH for showing me an area of my life that still needs to come into Obedience and Trust. I still struggle with money in knowing and understanding that even if the money is low he still provides. I hold on when the word says give.
Luke 6:38 (KJV)
38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
He showed me that he comes to test not when you have it to give but it is when you do not have it will you give. He showed me that still in my heart I struggle with giving when my money is low and that this shows I am not trusting him to provide.
Wednesday, April 8, 2015
Praise the Lord He guides me everyday to read my bible, my devotions, and really take into consideration what we watch/ listen to in our home. It used to be church on Sunday.. I am so thankful for my RJ and what it means for my family and our salvation!

Sitting in my room, watching our youngest daughter curl her hair, laughing together. At this time last year, I thought I would never laugh again. God is good! He loves us and cares for us, amazingly!
Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: 12 I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13 I can do all things through Christ[a] who strengthens me.
Philippians 4:11-13
Monday, March 23, 2015
I praise You and thank You my HH for working my husband and turning his heart toward You and toward me. Thank You for making him the head of the household and the spiritual leader. Thank You for changing him into the man You have called him to be.

FH's company (not FH) colluded with his lawyers to treat me rottenly during the funds rollover, unbeknownst to me--until too late. Christians around me push that I should sue--punish wrongdoers. I know better. I take it to my HH, and get reinforcement from RMIEW's Sunday message. PTL for His PEACE!
"But I say to you, do not resist him who is evil; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if anyone wants to sue you, and take your shirt, let him have your coat also. And whoever shall force you to go one mile, go with him two.” Matthew 5:39-41—
I would rather have God’s PEACE and the comfort of the Holy Spirit, time with Yeshua, my HH than any morsel resulting from a lawsuit. My God is Able and will provide for me!

I don't have to worry because He will take care of me.
Monday, March 16, 2015
I love how when the enemy is attacking my thoughts and I began to cry out to my HH or I began to meditate on his word he always comes in and lifts that off of me and reminds me that he is still in control of everything.
“Then you will call, and the LORD will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I. "If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk,” Isaiah 58:9
He has told me and taught me that when things come against me I am to cry out to him and him only, Please go to him first and no one else. I had to learn this lesson the hard way but once I learned it I now know that no one knows the answers but him and him only.

The Lord has shown me his kindness once again. I was recovering from the flu and very weak. I prayed to God for help with shoveling my car out of ice and snow. He sent a nice young man help me dig out my car! Thank you Lord!

I just wanted to praise and so thank my HH as he has been teaching me to turn my negative thoughts into beautiful thoughts. When a wrong thought hit such as discouragement I now think of how He continues to watch over me and bless me.
And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Philippians 4:8 (NLT)
Thursday, March 5, 2015
The weather has been rough this year, praise the Lord He always makes things work out for our good. If the weather was too bad we have delays and time off from school which allows us to play catch up.. He always knows what we need, better than we do!

Every morning I wake up I am ecstatic to know I am His- His bride! I have a relationship with my sweet Maker far better than where it was just a year ago, an eternal perspective.. Continually being refined to be more in His image. I'm so in love!! Amen!
In this you greatly rejoice, even though for a little while, if necessary you have been distressed by various trials, that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ” (1 Pet. 1:6–7).

So much snow fell this month!! Mornings when I get up, my car is blocked by snow. I don’t mind shoveling, but I’m usually pressed for time. I just give it to Him and when I’m ready to leave, He always sends someone just in time to plow me out!!
The Lord says, “In the future she will call me ‘my husband’..And I will make you my promised bride forever. I will be good and fair; I will show you my love and mercy. I will be true to you as my promised bride..” Hosea 2:16,19-20
Turn all your worries over to him. He cares about you. 1 Peter 5:7
I’m so happy and I feel so protected, loved and cared for by THE ONE who will never let me down!! He’s PERFECT!!

I was in the store to buy a cream I was using three years ago. Didn't know the name, or how did it look like. Remembered only the smell. Nobody could help me to find it when the Lord told me, "Do not ask anyone, I will lead you." And He did!
Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding.
In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths." Proverbs 3:5-6 (AMP)
He really made my path straight and plain. In this huge store I stopped exactly in front of the cream I was looking for but didn't know it is the one until He told me to smell it. I saved time and energy only because of Him.
