Last weekend I hit a pothole. A BIG pothole, that left the car rattling like something had come apart. I did't know what to do and do not have the funds to get it fixed. I believe that God knows all my needs and that he will provide for me. So, I waited and did't do anything on Monday. Tuesday I went to an auto repair service center and spoke with someone about the problem and they told me to come back on Wednesday morning and they would take a look at the car to determine the problem. Come Wednesday morning I get up, take the wife to work, and listen to my morning gospel program. I remember that driving the car that morning was different. The sound of rattling was gone and there was no extra bounce in the front end. I 'm not saying that God fixed the car but somehow the car corrected itself. All I did was to be patient and wait for it to happen.
Sometimes, I just have to get out of the way and let God's plan work in my life. I heard a saying once, "Don't give up 5 minutes before the miracle happens, you will be very dissappointed."
The strength of my faith is based on my belief and my knowledge God will take care of me. Christ said: "Seek first the kingdom of God and his justice and all these things shall be given you besides." Sometimes the devils get inside of me and want me to question and doubt my belief. I have to cast them out and know with certainty that God will provide.
Share your comments with me on how God has provided for you in these trying times. Is your belief certain?? Are you unwavering???

What Choices do you make??
One day, as I was musing in church, I thought, what do I believe heaven would be like. I would not have to worry about the aches and pains in my body, because I would have a perfect body. I would not have to worry about eating because my body would not need food. I would not have to worry about sleep because I would not get tired or have to sleep. I would not have to worry about working because I would not have need of the cause for work, money. I would not need money because I could have anything in heaven that my mind could imagine. I would live in a beautiful world where there were flowers and trees and streams and the temperature would be pleasing all the time. I would have friends that I could play with and have fun with and I would not lust for sex or the body of another woman because I would not have the driving hormones that require that my thoughts are consumed with sex all the time. I would not have the temptations of life that drive me to commit sin. All the things that I live by now, I would not have to worry about in heaven. Sounds like a dull place compared to where we live today. Yet, I would give today up in a heartbeat to gain that new life. You see, I believe that I am in the midst of a battle between Heaven and Hell and I suffer from the temptations of the Devil and his demons that bring sin and temptation to me every minute, every second of the day. I CHOOSE HEAVEN. GOD, HEAR MY PLEA!! I CHOOSE HEAVEN AND NOT HELL. REMOVE ME FROM THIS PLACE SO THAT I MAY LIVE!! I CHOOSE YOU!!

Have you received your stimulus check yet??
"For your Father knows what you need before you ask him."
I was given to start this blog so that people can affirm how their heavenly father has provided for them in these trying times, and people who are in despair can read about those believers who God has provided for, in their lives. If you have recently received some gift or funds or assets, that came to you through no help of your own, by circumstance or by prayer, give witness in this blog so that others can know that we have the ultimate provider who knows our every need and who will provide for us in these trying times.
Here is my story: I work a month in advance of receiving payment. So the work that I complete in February I receive payment in March. In Oct., Nov, and Dec., of 2008 my income was good and I planned to have similar income for the coming year, 2009. I worked in January and only made half of my income. In February, I only made one eight of my income and I knew that March would be a banner month for me because of the schedule of events that I had planned to work. I thought that I needed to increase my income so I hired other people to help me and spent money to do so. That did not work because I barely made costs to cover the expense of the people that I hired. The second event of March, I planned perfectly so that I would maximize my results and increase my income. This was a four day event that I was scheduled to work. I rented vehicles and traveled out of town to increase my chances of positive results. The first day of the event was moved back from a Thursday to a Friday so I did not get to start when I wanted. Friday, I started to work and found that all my plans were to no avail. My efforts did not yield income for the next month. During this entire time I was reading the Bible every morning to start my day. I read that my father knows my needs even before I ask him and I believed that he would provide for me. But my plans had gone so awry that I became sick with despair and pain that Saturday and could not work. I felt doomed becuse I would not be able to pay my bills and provide for my family without this income. There were three events scheduled for March. I had worked two of them and had only made enough to cover my expenses. I planned for the third and final event and made preparations to begin to work the event on the Saturday at the end of the month. That Friday I received my stimulus check in the mail. I had no idea it was coming and had no hand in making it happen. My heavenly father provided for me and made it possible for me to pay my bills for the entire month of April. "Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow; for tomorrow will have anxieties of its own."
