Testimony and Praise to God

First I'd like to thank the Lord for blessing me with the things I need. Than coming through the doors of my heart and taking me into his world. As I reminisce on the many ways he has brought joy to my days. I don't even know where to began. Because In Christ, the blessings never come to an end.

I can remember during childhood and days when I was up to no good. Going through periods of no self esteem to just being mean. Through all that and despite myself. He took special care of me. All through the nourishing years of raising my kids. When my family was torn apart. He came into my heart and gave me back what the enemy tried to destroy. Than like a garment in the making. He gave us the will and the strength to be, whom he created. The Lord gave us the ability to do and go beyond what we could see. I have sons and a daughter. I can be proud of. All because of his love. I have grandchildren to teach of his wisdom and counsel. Through many trials and tribulation. He lifted me up when I was down. Put a smile on my face instead of a frown, in the midst of raising them all. Which I saw as a career even when I felt; I had to beg and crawl. He kept us together through everything and all. Providing nourishment, clothing and shelter, wisdom, understanding, joy and employment. Along with the desires of my heart. I can't help but thank God. So much and more I have to thankful for. People he's brought in my life, and of course the most important, one and only Jesus Christ. With whom I would not be able to walk or crawl. He has blessed me more than the eyes can see. I've written letters to the Father and he's answered them all. One in particular, was when I asked for my husband. He answered my call. Than blessed me with all the specifics. I put in my request. It's quite amazing because. We weren't close in distance. So he came from far. We both had faith, and God in our heart. Neither one of us perfect, but full of love and hope. We understood there would be changes and we'd have to cope. With the transition of mind. From single and independent to married and dependent. We're at a point now where we can almost read each others mind. Where we value our time. We give each other sweet treats. We enjoy our days the way it was meant to be. And together we're more. We can spread wings and soar. That comes from the compatibility of two people in love, with the same beliefs, family background and desire to grow. Love, trust, communication, honor, respect for one another and of each others individuality, while putting God first is a combination for ministry which in my opinion is what a marriage is suppose to be. With that being said. I thank God for all he's done. Though the trials may come. There is one. And one only who can bring restoration to what may seem to be complete devastation. His name is Jesus. My lord and Savior. All you have to do is receive him.
O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people. Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works. Glory ye in his holy name: Let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD. Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore. Remember his marvelous works that he had done; Psalm 105:1-5

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He market me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
Psalms 23
