My God is AWESOME!!!

When God told me to put my home on the market before moving to Phoenix, I knew it was for a greater purpose.  Little did I know that it would stay on the market for 1 year, 7 months and 21 days! However, I did not doubt what God had told me to do.  Neither did I worry about it.  At times, I totally forgot about it being on the market. On last Friday (Sept. 13^th), it finally went to closing! Praise God! And after all that time of not paying my mortgage (since Dec. 2011), God didn’t allow it to go into foreclosure and the bank paid me a small incentive for selling my home! All for His glory! MY GOD IS AWWWWWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, after being out of the elementary school setting for almost two years, God now has allowed me to go back as a substitute teacher. Although I was offered a full-time job, I know God still needs me to be available to do His will and only wants me to substitute. Also, I’m serving as a private tutor.  I’m just thankful that He is allowing me to do both, serve Him and to teach! And He is showing His favor in both! Below are two drawings given to me by second graders in the first class I served as a substitute. For me, it was just a reminder of His promises and how much God loves me! So glad I AM HIS!

God's Plans, My Path

Recently, God allowed me to go back to Dallas, Texas for a visit.  Most of you know that I lived there from 1994-2000. It was during my stay there that I really began to seek God for His will for my life.  During those years, God placed some wonderful people in my life who became family to me! These people also became a part of my journey in a very special way. It was during this time that I committed to living my life for Christ. And while I didn’t know then how my life would unfold, I knew God had a special purpose and plan for me.  I was so happy to see my sisters and brothers in Christ with their families. And while it was great seeing them, I must admit, thirteen years ago when I moved from Dallas back to Louisiana, I thought by now I would be married with children too.  I had no idea the journey life would take me on. During my visit, God revealed so much to me about my path. He started by sending me to Megafest to receive a word at Woman Thou Art Loosed. He reminded me that my path and pain is all a part of my purpose. He also reminded me that even though my life may not look like what I thought it would look like, His plans for me have not changed.  God still has a great purpose for my life. I’m in transition and expecting!!!

This fall, God's plans will be taking me to Turkey.  I will be serving with a team of woman from the Global Training Institute for Women, where I currently serve as a volunteer intern.  Our mission is to equip women from the Middle East to be leaders in ministry. Once again, I’m humbled and in awe of how God orchestrates my steps! I never knew when I committed my life to serving Him where life would take me. Who knew---Louisiana-Dallas-Cambodia-Phoenix-Turkey! Only God knows the plans He has for me! I AM HIS!
