Our God is Good!

Today my wife Julie will graduate from the University of North Florida. I could not be prouder of her. Julie is my ministry partner and my prayer covering and my best friend. We have had the pleasure of ministering in place and to people that society could care less about.

If you have not had a chance to listen to my wife tell her testimony you need to, I have heard her story so many times but it still brings tears to my eyes. This woman was meth-head, former inmate and a host of other former things. She could not even utter a complete sentence because she was so stoned or strung out, but for the grace of God, she should be dead, but the Lord said no! I shall redeem this one and call her My daughter and my child and I will give her a heart for the least of these. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Most of all she puts up with me and loves my daughter and grand-children like they were her own. That is all I can ask. She is easy on the eyes.

Today she will graduate with a 3.99 G.P.A. Who said Pentecostals are not smart?

Re: Our God is Good!

NG, tell your wife congratulations for me! That is an amazing GPA. I particularly admire adults who go back to college and get a degree because when my kids were in high school I discovered it would have been very hard for me after I had a hard time trying to help them with their homework.

It sounds like she has an amazing testimony of God's grace. This thread also straightened me out on something. For some reason I thought you guys were in California! I had no idea you were in Florida. Did you post your history at some point and mentioned California?

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
