I would like to take a few moments to testify what the Lord has done in our lives in the last few years. To let everyone know of the marvellous things He has done in our lives. For His word says this:

"Sing unto the Lord, all the earth; and have shew forth from day to day his salvation. Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations. For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the people are idols: but the Lord made the heavens. Glory and honour are in his presence; strength and gladness are in his place. Give unto the Lord, ye kindreds of the people, give unto the Lord glory and strength. Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness. " (1 Chronicles 16:23-29

1. He allowed me to meet my husband- who has the same desire for God and the Pentecostal fire I do. We have been married 4 years this June! We know GOD has a work for us together. So thank you God- such a blessing!

2. He has given me the privilege to raise and teach his 3 children from a previous marriage as my own and has blessed my husband and I with a daughter together Our 4 beautiful children are our life and joy, it has been and will continue to be a blessing to raise them to love and fear God! He has kept them all healthy and safe. Praise God for His protecting hand as the older 3 visit the biological mother in an abusive, unstable home every other weekend. THANK GOD FOR PRECIOUS BLOOD OF HIS SON JESUS THAT WE CAN APPLY OVER THEIR LIVES BEFORE THEY GO!
3. He has blessed us with a beautiful 4 bedroom home in the country on 2.8 acres of land! What a blessing, Thank you JESUS!

4. He provided for our family of 6 with no income for 4 months after my husband lost his job. ( and All of our bills were paid!) He provided all of our necessities and food during this time as well as all the other times we had problems financially. We may not have had everything we wanted but ALWAYS WHAT WE NEEDED! WHAT AN AWESOME GOD WE SERVE!

5. He blessed my husband with a less strenuous job with better hours AND the summer off! Does that mean more time for ministy? We believe so! PRAISE THE LORD!!!

6. He blessed us with a beautiful Freestyle, perfect for our family, this last year as the transmission was going out in our other vehicle. ( we didn't have the income to get one but He still provided!) Thank you Jesus for your provision!!

7. He has placed many people around us to be mentors and to give encouragement such as (our parents, my gandparents, Rev. Newton, Rev. Strong, Sis. Todd, Sis. April, Bro. Donnie Skinner, to name just a few...) we are SOOOO blessed God has placed these people to surround us with wisdom and encouragemet) Thank you Lord!

8. During the last year, we have grown so much closer to God. He has increased our Faith,our knowledge and understanding. We have received a boldness we never knew we had! We are learning to exercise the gifts God has placed within us for the ministry He has called us to. Thank you Lord for the opportunity to draw closer to you and your increase in our faith, knowledge and boldness. Thank you for equipping us in our mothers womb for the ministry's you have placed before us and teaching us to exercise it!

9. He has helped us, through our children ( the desire to teach them to do whats right and to walk in reightousness), pray for and forgive some people who have done and said some hateful things to our family- some we didnt know how we could. Although these people may still do things to hurt us, we have taken a stand to do what's right- and God has given us the strength to do it. All glory, honor, and praise unto Him only.

I've learned we've had some rough times the last couple of years, BUT the blessings He has given FAR OUTWEIGH the bad! An old Martins song says "Count your blessings when you're feeling blue, it's surprising what a little counting will do! So many people walk around defeated and depressed becase they focus on the negative and forget to Give him he Glory for the things He done!

Thank you Lord for the blessings in our lives! We are ever thankful, You have truly blessed your servants. Still Lord,Who am I that you should give us such blessings?
