Pray, Listen and OBEY!!!
FAM-A-LAM!!
1st let Me Apologize in Advance if I Come Off A Tab Bit "Preachy".
But I Cant Keep QUIET. If There Is One THING I KNOW FOR SURE (if i dont know ANNNYTHING Else) Is That PRAYER ..WORKS!!
Some Know And Some Don't. My Mother ANd I Had Our Backs Against The Wall And We Didn't Know Where To Turn... My Mother Has Been Out Of Work For A While... Her Taxes That She Filed For DIDNT COME BACK... And The Money I Made Wasnt Enough To Pay The Money That We Owed. ANd The Housing Wasnt Trying To Work With Us They Wanted ALL OF The MONEY.
I'll Admit My Pride At The Beginning Got The Best Of Me....Then The Stress Came Almost Too FAST so I BROKE DOWN.( i know its normal.. Darnit Im HUMAN)..But While I Was Crying, Kicking ANd Screaming... I Prayed And I Dont Mean the "thank you jesus" or the "lord i thank ya" type Prayer.. I MEAN.. Me and God had a One On One CONVERSATION. Went a Little Something Like: "OK GOD.. NOW I KNOW YOU KNOW WUTS GOING ON...YOU SEE THIS.. SO TALK TO ME AND TELL ME WHAT TO DO NOW CUS IM STRESSING ..MOMS IS CRYING HER EYES OUT AND LOOSING SLEEP ..SHE WONT EAT.. SO N SO SAID THIS ABOUT ME AND TURNED HIS BACK ON US AT THE LAST MINUTE. LORD WHAT AM I GONNA DO?"
.. I Was Standing outside with tears in my eyes in the middle of Aldi's parking lot looking like a Mad woman praying to God. ANd Fam Im Not Sure If U Ever had This Happen To U.. but GOD SHUT ME UP.. COMPLETELY. LOL. IT WAS LIKE HE HAD ENOUGH OF MY COMPLAINING AND CRYING..So i just listened to him speak.. and he Told me what to do... He told Me To Call On My Family And Thats Exactly What I Did.
Of COurse there was a Part Of me (pride) That Didnt Want To Call because i didnt want to be the "talk" of the family or i didnt want to deal with stares or whispers but i learned u Never Question GOD Because what he says is LEGIT and Thats It. You cant Get Any Better Than That . So Family remember Prayer works. and If Your asking God For Guidance.. do just that then SHUT UP.. listen .. and Obey. He'll never mislead u.

WHAT A WONDERFUL WAY TO EXPLAIN IT !!!!!
A sick man turned to his doctor, as he was preparing to leave the examination room and said, 'Doctor, I am afraid to die. Tell me what lies on the other side.' Very quietly, the doctor said, 'I don't know.' 'You don't know? You, a Christian man, do not know what is on the other side?' The doctor was holding the handle of the door; on the other side came a sound of scratching and whining, and as he opened the door, a dog sprang into the room and leaped on him with an eager show of gladness. Turning to the patient, the doctor said, 'Did you notice my dog? He's never been in this room before. He didn't know what was inside. He knew nothing except that his master was here, and when the door opened, he sprang in without fear. I know little of what is on the other side of death, but I do know one thing... I know my Master is there and that is enough.'

May today there be peace within you. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. I believe that friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.

GOD does work in mysterious ways!!!
The brand new pastor and his wife, newly assigned to their first ministry, to reopen a church in suburban Brooklyn, arrived in early October excited about their opportunities. When they saw their church, it was very run down and needed much work. They set a goal to have everything done in time to have their first service on Christmas Eve.
They worked hard, repairing pews, plastering walls, painting, etc, and on December 18 were ahead of schedule and just about finished. On December 19 a terrible tempest - a driving rainstorm hit the area and lasted for two days. On the 21st, the pastor went over to the church. His heart sank when he saw that the roof had leaked, causing a large area of plaster about 20 feet by 8 feet to fall off the front wall of the sanctuary just behind the pulpit, beginning about head high. The pastor cleaned up the mess on the floor, and not knowing what else to do but postpone the Christmas Eve service, headed home.
On the way he noticed that a local business was having a flea market type sale for charity so he stopped in. One of the items was a beautiful, handmade, ivory colored, crocheted tablecloth with exquisite work, fine colors and a Cross embroidered right in the center. It was just the right size to cover up the hole in the front wall. He bought it and headed back to the church.
By this time it had started to snow. An older woman running from the opposite direction was trying to catch the bus... She missed it. The pastor invited her to wait in the warm church for the next bus 45 minutes later. She sat in a pew and paid no attention to the pastor while he got a ladder, hangers, etc., to put up the tablecloth as a wall tapestry. The pastor could hardly believe how beautiful it looked and it covered up the entire problem area. Then he noticed the woman walking down the center aisle. Her face was like a sheet. 'Pastor,' she asked, 'where did you get that tablecloth?' The pastor explained. The woman asked him to check the lower right corner to see if the initials, EBG were crocheted into it there. They were. These were the initials of the woman, and she had made this tablecloth 35 years before, in Austria. The woman could hardly believe it as the pastor told how he had just gotten the Tablecloth.
The woman explained that before the war she and her husband were well-to-do people in Austria.When the Nazis came, she was forced to leave. Her husband was going to follow her the next week. He was captured, sent to prison and she never saw her husband or her home again. The pastor wanted to give her the tablecloth; but she made the pastor keep it for the church. The pastor insisted on driving her home that was the least he could do. She lived on the other side of Staten Island and was only in Brooklyn for the day for a housecleaning job.
What a wonderful service they had on Christmas Eve. The church was almost full. The music and the spirit were great. At the end of the service, the pastor and his wife greeted everyone at the door and many said that they would return. One older man, whom the pastor recognized from the neighborhood continued to sit in one of the pews and stare, and the pastor wondered why he wasn't leaving. The man asked him where he got the tablecloth on the front wall because it was identical to one that his wife had made years ago when they lived in Austria before the war and how could there be two tablecloths so much alike.He told the pastor how the Nazis came, how he forced his wife to flee for her safety and he was supposed to follow her, but he was arrested and put in a prison. He never saw his wife or his home again all the 35 years in between. The pastor asked him if he would allow him to take him for a little ride. They drove to Staten Island and to the same house where the pastor had taken the woman three days earlier. He helped the man climb the three flights of stairs to the woman's apartment, knocked on the door and he saw the greatest Christmas reunion he could ever imagine.
