I am the kind of person that loves to work. I have been truly blessed. I love working because I get to help people, and that makes me feel better about myself. I think about how Jesus fed the multitude of people with just two fish and five loaves of bread. Whenever I see a smile on a persons face, that lets me know that I had something to do with that. I just may be a cashier, but I take the order as if Jesus is there in the flesh watching me. I want to honor Him in all that I do. I want to please God and put a smile on His face, because if it were not for Him I would not have what I have now.

There is nothing wrong with working, because if a person doesn’t work, they don’t eat. People in the Bible days worked hard, paid their taxes, and took care of their families. Girls were taught the things that women did in the home, and boys were taught by their fathers the things that men did. Children were taught about things that they could use all of their lives, and everyone was waiting for the coming of their Savior. Things were not good all of the time because of the Roman soldiers. They would take children to work to pay for things that their parents couldn’t pay for, so they suffered a lot. Working has been going on since the beginning of time . God worked six days to create this world that we live in, but on the seventh day He rested. Working is good for all people; it is a since of accomplishment that makes a person want to do better for their family. It is what we do to make sure our families are safe and secure. It is what we do to provide provisions for our families, and to help those that are in need. We are to be generous in our giving, because we never know when someone will have to be there for us. God gave, so we should to. He gave freely and so should we not expecting anything in return, because He knows what we need before we even ask for it. He will provide our every need. We may not always get what we want, but He will surely give us what we need to survive. We need Jesus to survive. Without Him we could not survive, we will never be truly happy, we will never have real joy; He is all of that and more.

Work is good, so when you feel like you just cannot get up another day and go to work, just think about what Jesus went through just for us. He worked by preaching the gospel everyday before He was crucified. What we have to do on our jobs is nothing compared to the beating that Jesus took for us so we could be free. We have no right to complain about what we have to do in our daily lives, because Jesus didn’t complain one time when He was going through when He was beaten all night long!! He embraced what was set before Him until it was completely finished at Calvary. Can we embrace everything that we have to do and go through like Jesus? Can we not complain? Can we accept it? We should, why? Because He did! Thank Him for all He has done since the beginning , until now and forevermore. Amen.

This month has brought me good things that I was not expecting. I have been blessed to start over and do new things that I never thought I would have the chance to do. God has provided me a job that is going to open up the doors to my new journey in life. This is a major step forward for me. I would have never imagined this could happen to me. I cannot wait to start school. I have been wanting to get my diploma and go to college to get my nursing degree. I am truly blessed to have this opportunity to embark on such a journey that I know that is going to change the way I look at things in my life. I am so glad that God has smiled on me and blessed my life. It is as if the sun shines a little brighter, the air is a little cooler, and my sleep is a little sweeter. I feel absolutely good about myself. My confidence is where it should be, and I am as happy as I can be. My heart beats happy rhythms that play a sweet song to my soul. The songs of the birds play happily in the trees that carry it on the wings of the wind. I feel like I can do anything now.

ENDING of DEPRESSION

This is what I call an absolute miracle. My depression level has dropped tremendously. I am not as tired as I was before my new journey started to happen. I am full of energy now. I wake up happy and full of joy; my life has meaning now, and I have something to look forward to. I know that it is an ongoing process, and I know that everything is going to work out just fine. As long as I know that I have the support of my family and their encouragement, I know that I can keep moving forward. I have a new lease on life and me. My future is very beautiful now and I am going to enjoy every minute of it.

With God, I can do all things, but without Him, I can do nothing. I give all glory, honor, and praise to Him with thanksgiving. He made all of this possible for me. He has opened the door that no man can shut. I know that He has many more blessings for me and I can’t wait to see everything happen in His own time in my life.

TAKING a CHANCE

All of this that has happened because of my husband taking a chance to bring me here when we were not getting anywhere at the other places. We were on empty almost, but God made a way for the gas to stretch. For three days now, God has worked it out for us. He is AWESOME! He is everything to me. He is a Great Father!!! I am so blessed that He is my Father. I love Him very much, more than anything else in this world!!
