The Lord spoke to me one night to give 50 bucks in the offering. I only had 50 to my name. No food in the house and could not afford to get LadyChocolate her "Chocolate fix". But I obeyed. On the way home, I had to get someone to jump our car because our battery was bad. We live in a very poor house. We we about to go to sleep, and a knock came on the door. One of the brothers in the church said he had been praying and the Lord told him to come by and give us some money.
It was 100 bucks.
GOD IS GOOD.
SCUSE me while I boogie.
Somebody turn Fred up on the system singing "Blessed in the city, Blessed in the field, blessed when we come and when we go..."
I lost 3 of my children over the years and I also lost my sanity for a time after that. Almost died from that. I am a little bitty thing but I was down to 85 lbs. Then one day at a gas station I saw a lady and I knew she was Pentecostal. I had been raised in UPC but had been away from the church and the Lord for many years. Anyway I asked that lady if there was a Pentecostal church in this little town and she said yes and my husband is the pastor. Imagine that. This would be the start of a healing for me, it's not completed but it is getting there. I now have 6 grown children, 9 grandbabies with another on the way. I am so BLESSED.

That's what I'm talking about. Go ahead and bless the Lord.
Where there is life there is hope. Oh that blessed hope that one day I will see Jesus face to face.

Last Sunday (the one before Christmas) we took up a special offering. When I heard the offering was going to an individual, I begged all the cash my daughter had in her wallet. It has been unusually slow at work, but I had two sales the next day and one had a special bonus. I received BACK what I put in the offering and then some.
Some call it normal, I give HIM all the glory.

I don't think there is enough room here for me to write all that God has done for me in 2 and 1/2 years I have been a Christian. So much that I thank Him for. I will tell you one--
(miracle No. one)Before I became a Christian I developed a breathing problem. I breathed so shallow that sometimes I would get weak. I went to the dr. and had tests run and went to the hospital and had different things done and noone could find out why I had shortness of breath.
I was so afraid tha I was going to die.
And then circumstances occured and I became a child of God. I was saved from a life of emptyness. I still had shortness of breath just as bad, but I was no longer afraid. I knew where I was going if I died and was happy for that reassurance. But about 2 weeks after I accepted God, my pastor had an alter call and I went forward and asked for prayer. And God healed me of the breathing problem. A lot more happened at that same time-----
About 6 yrs. ago the place that I worked was robbed, pushed down and cursed and tied up and coke poured all over me. I was dragged from one part of te building to another with a gun held to the back of my head.
I left that place so traumatized that I did not leave my house for 2 months. I could not allow anyone to get within arms length of me. I stopped driving alltogeather and only went out when someone else was with me.
(simultanious miracle) When I asked for prayer the ladies of the church came forward and laid hands on me and afterward they hugged me and I never once panicked because of them touching me. That fear left me, the ladies still hug me and I value their hugs because it reminds me that God gave me a miracle.
(simultanious miracle No. 2) Within 2 weeks I began driving to go get groceries and in time got a job. I have since quit that job becasue of the
unchristian atmosphere but it was a growing time for me. I actually went to pay bills and take care of some business for my employer.
God is good and I never forget the biggest wonderful thing He did for me, I was an athiest and now I am not. Jesus died on the cross so that I would not be lost.
okay.. here we go! Several years ago, lordchocolate and I were in a bad situation. We had enough food for breakfast the next morning but after that we had nothing. We told no one of our dilema. My wonderful husband had been up praying that morning around 3. After breakfast, one saint from the church had been driving his truck and said that God told him to go buy us groceries! He filled our cabinets and had us over to eat that night! God is awesome!
