He Is With Us In Everyday Situation

 

 

On June 10th 2004, my husband was admitted to the hospital with congestive heart failure. He was a diabetic & had a lot of health issues. At the time, I was a fabric/crafts dept. manager at Wal-mart.

I took off work to spend time with Bob, as his prognosis was not good.

I spent day after day by his bedside praying and reading. I kept hearing over and over in my spirit,

"I've brought you to it, I'll bring you through it."

For years I lived in fear of being alone & not being able to provide. Now, I was faced with my worst fear. I should feel panic, uncertainty, unsureness...... but instead...... I felt a peace that I can not explain. On June 27th, Bob passed away. I was physically alone. I pressed in on Philippians 4:19

"And my God will supply your every need according to HIS riches in glory by Christ Jesus."

I was not alone! Nor did I have a need that HE could not meet. I did not have a situation that I could not overcome with HIS help! How powerful!

There were times when 'well meaning' friends began to tell me how to live my life now that I was alone... They said: "Watch your spending," "Do you really need this or that?"

Oh the discouragement and negativity. The enemy tries to creep in any nook and cranny he can. Even through well meaning and sincere people. God tells us in II Timothy 1:7 "God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, love, & sound mind" Drawing on my faith and a deeper desire to draw closer to God, I continued on doing what I felt was best for me.

About a year ago I began feeling very discontent with my job, physically & spiritually. I began to press in for God to show me the path HE had for me. I asked HIM:

1. Am I to quit my job? What am I to do?

2. What about a part time job or something to supplement my income?

3. I had a few acres of ground to sell & would sell.... Lord what do I do???

My answer came within months by the following:

1. My doctor said the degenerative arthritis in my back is getting much worse. I now had a deteriorating disc. He said that the work that I was doing was out of the question..... you can no longer do it, you must quit your job!

2. I was offered a part time job that I had not applied for, nor thought of doing!

3. I was approached about the ground I wanted to sell by a person I did not know!

I gave my resignation, intending to retire... My resignation was not accepted, not entirely. It was not what God had in mind for me just yet. Instead I was put on a 1 year medical leave with benefits. Again, Gods provision. This was a solution that I had not thought of!

God is so good to look after us.

I was approached by a relative in Ohio. They asked me if I would consider doing sewing for cancer patients. It was like someone (GOD) turned lights on for me...... THIS IS IT!!!! this was the path I am to take. For a year now, I have been making robe/gown sets, lap throws, do rags, & trek bibs for cancer patients. In addition, I make baby sets a little covers for kids in the children’s hospital. I am so blessed.

God will move heaven and earth for you when you stand on HIS word and are careful to avoid negativity in your confession. HE watches over HIS word that you speak in faith to perform it for you... Jeremiah 1:12 "I will hasten my word to perform it."

It is time now for me to officially retire or go back to work... So again, I ask, "God what would you have me to do?" my spirit says I took you out of the workplace to do MY work child. So again, I rely on HIS word, Phil 4:6 "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving make your request known to God"

I am so blessed & so privileged to be used in HIS ministry to others. I pray that the anointing of the Holy Spirit will be on the things I sew and make. I pray it will draw others closer to God. I pray HIS love will flow thru me, and into the ministry HE has set before me.

Do not allow Satan to create discontent, faultfinding and disbelief in God's promises for you. Each day faithfully determine in your heart to read HIS word with a fervent desire to know HIS will. HIS word enables us to be all that HE would have us to be, and do all that HE would have us to do. HIS indwelling Holy Spirit will enlighten our mind and stir our heart.
