Thank you all for your prayers. I have honestly felt them, and I feel a strengthening in my spirit that can only be from our wonderful Lord.

God is doing an amazing work, and I’m thankful for everything this season. I don’t feel the need to explain everything that is going on in my life, but in my last post I really needed prayer. I would rather spend my time praising and worshipping the One who is worthy of it all, then be down in the dumps with life’s circumstances. I’m rejoicing now in the fact that I can rejoice during these times!

Please know that my faith is stronger than ever (by the grace of God), and I know Who is in control.

I have had some powerful words from the Lord this weekend. On Friday, I had the opportunity to praise and worship with a ministry that had invited me awhile back. It was incredible and the power of God was astonishing! The pastor had said that from Thanksgiving until January 1, 2008 was 40 days, and it is going to be a time of testing for Christians. God is separating the goats from the sheep, and preparing His children for what is to come. A couple days before Friday’s word, Patricia King, from the Extreme Prophetic Ministries said something that really spoke to me in one of her videos. She said, “The Holy Spirit is a teacher, and when does the teacher not talk? During a test!”

During these “testing” times, I don’t think we should be locking ourselves away in our houses and not doing anything. In fact, now is the time to kick it into over-drive! If there is something God has been calling you to do, then start seeking ways to do it. If you need a job, start putting in applications! It’s easy sometimes to want to sit around waiting for your miracle to fall out of the sky, but I truly believe God wants to see us doing our very best for His glory to be received!

Again, thank you all for your prayers, and know that you will be lifted up in mine!
