LIVING FOR HIM

   It has been way to long since I have shared with you all!! Well tomorrow is Clint Dallas and I two year wedding Anniversary.  We have had an amazing journey, especially this past year. God is doing a work in us that is breath taking. Back in May we were layed off and at a new low...I knew that my faith had to step it up even more and my husband realized for the first time that his plan was not working and it was time for him to give God's plan the driver seat!!

      We went May and most of June with very little to no income. The bills never stopped however. But surrendering to the Father only paid off. He began to show us both what can happen when we put our faith in HIM. Provision after provisions were met daily. And then on June 27,2010 (the day after my 37th B'day) we went to a church that I know the Holy Spirit was telling me we needed to attend...Santa Fe Christian Church in Santa Fe, TX. and have been there ever since!!! PTL!! <>< The work picked back up and at the end of August Clint was given a new job with a blessed increase in income. It is true what has been taught to us all these years when we have faith and surrender to Him the Blessings come in abundance.

     So, we now have a new church family that we have grown to love more and more every week. We are doing our very best to walk daily with the Lord by reading the Word and praying faithfully about EVERYTHING!! Tithing monthly for the first time in our marriage regardless of if we can actually "afford" it or not. We as a family have a new focus on life on earth. Living for HIM!! Meaning that our life is no longer our own, It belongs to CHRIST!!! <><

     ~Until next time here is a verse to ponder on: ... Philippians 4:6-7 "Don't worry about anything; instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which extends anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus."  Amen<><

Faith: Unquestioning belief (Webster's Dictionary)

This week has definitely been a testing week....It started out with Clint (my fiance) getting a call that his boss had quit his company and he was not sure where that would leave him....as he told me this over the phone my first instinct was to get upset and begin to really worry and then I stopped myself and I said "NO".....you either believe or you don't believe? We are getting married in a week and planning to buy a house in a couple of months and start our family and I know that God wants only the best for us His children!!! So I began to pray as I drove and I told the Lord that "I give Him TOTAL control...I know that He has a plan and I know that it is His plan, in His time and I trusted Him with it all"!!! Instantly, I was at peace and knew that in His own way, in His own time He would provide. The next day Clint says "you know you really just don't seem to be concerned about all this?" And I told him that I was praying about it and trusting in God and that he should do the same. So today he called me and said "you are not going to believe this?""Our prayer have been answered" "They offered me a promotion?!" And of course I am very happy for him and us. However, the best part of it is that when you trust God to provide and you surrender it all He always comes through!!! You either believe or you don't!!!!

GOD is Awesome

What can I say....except God is good and deserves all the GLORY!!
I just recieved a phone call from one of the owners at GENESIS and her first words to me where "I don't know what you did today but it worked" and I told her that I did what I told her I would do "I Prayed"....She then ask me to please come back to work in the morning at 8:30....Ask and you shall recieve!!!

I then shared with her that I knew that the ememy was attacking and we had to take a stand and stay focussed and she agreed with me whole heartedly....so there you go Praise God.....His scripture that He lead me to today as the enemy was trying to invade...

ISAIAH 41:10
Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.'

Thank you Father!!!

Today was a test and I want to make my Father proud!!!!

About a month ago I was job searching for a salon to work in where I knew I belonged ....I was just about to give up and I prayed about it with a little more intensity than I had been!! I ask the Father to place me where he wanted me and I gave him TOTAL control....so on my birthday my future husband took me to see Incredible Hulk...now this would normally not be my first choice of movies but he really wanted to see it and I was honored that he wanted to take me so we went and as we were watching the previews this add came across the screen for GENESIS Boutique and Salon....all I can say is that I instantly got chills and felt the presence of the Holy Spirit....we could not get back from seeing that movie fast enough (which by the way was not too bad at all)!!! And as soon as we did I had to look it up on the Internet.....nice, spacious, three owners all women who advertised there love for the Lord.....and also that there was a prayer room above the salon for all to use as they needed!!! I said "yes this is it" and I got all my stuff together and went to meet them on Tuesday.....well after two interviews I started working there a week later and have been there now for around six weeks.....and LOVE it!!!

However, today I got a call from one of the owners and something is very wrong....there is no doubt some kind of attack going on at GENESIS and I have been asked to take the rest of the week off so they can figure out what to do.....I have gone from shock, to hurt, and now to game on!! God is in control and I know that He will do as He See's fit.....So now I will only have to sit back and have Faith .....

This is easier said than done and my flesh wants to worry and try to fix it but my spirit wants to stand up and fight off the enemy that is trying to trample on God's children.....

So my prayer is that you all will keep us in your prayers that we will have the strength and power to know and do what it is that will make our Father proud....In Jesus most precious name I pray......Amen
