Lord, I am
so amazed at how you have called to me and have brought me out of my selfish
sinful places. Places that I chose to enter. Places that you warned me of but I
just had to enter because of my sinful ness. You called me to be a mother
younger than what I had envisioned but it was the best thing for me. I wanted
to move back to where I was from to get help from my family but You asked me to
stay in St. Louis. It was hard to not be near a support system but you had such
great plans for me here. When I could not continue in my education you provided
a good job for me so I could take care of myself and my daughter. You called me
to tithe when I was already struggling but you continued to provide for me over
and over. You gave me community among other mothers with children of similar
ages. You called me to begin attending a Bible study where I met many new
friends. You called me into a relationship with a Godly man, allowed both of us
to start over, and have a relationship that was pure and God honoring. The
night before our wedding You showed up and poured out Your blessing over me. I
was so overcome I could not stop crying with joy. You had been so faithful to
give me a second chance at having a family. Now I sit here with five more
amazing children-six total. You have just blessed me over and over. You have
stretched me and taught me more than I could ever imagine. You have given me
neighbors, church family, and friends who have blessed me, loved me, and
encouraged me. St. Louis has been so
good to me for the past 20 years. Now, You are now calling me and my family to
West Virginia-the place where I am from-the place I longed to return to so many
years ago. You have made a way for us and you continue to orchestrate the details.
Thank you Lord for giving me the desire of my heart and thank you for allowing
my hardened heart to hear you so many years ago. Amen!
