Giving God the Praise in time of Test

it has been a while since i have last update, if there is anything i have learned over the past few months or so is that we need to Praise God even when times of test and trail come our way, my husband and i have been in one big storm that we just can not seem to even get out of we are geting hit one after another.

the 1st big test of our faith is when i had got hit with the tumor in the Summer but as you also Know God cast that nasty tumor out and i had a word from the 700 club i would be heard PRAISE GOD when they went in they could not fine that tumor i was healed but that was a Big test to our faith,

as many Also Know God has been calling us to Spring Field MO to go in to Full time Ministry he is calling me a Shy person to come out of my shell and to teach and preach to woman, also my Husband in to full time Music Ministry. well not to long ago my mother inlaw who also seems to be having a very hard time and us thought we would go in to an Apartment together down in TX ( being selfish and knowing GOD did not call us to TX we tryed to move forward with that plan ) How ever long story short My husband got a Job interviw down in MO we jumped to fast and to soon he got the job and we was fixing on moving there on NOV 10th how ever before we even left MO our Van broke down we had no money to fix it and it would cost more then it was worth we took a gray hound buss back to iowa and with no car and no way to move we knew it had not been Gods timing we acted on our own Wants and Selfshness of wanting to get out of iowa and leave it behind and start our new lifes

we about lost our place to live as well, My husbands job cut his hours way back and our rent went UP we are having a very hard time and can not even save for a car yet my husband walks back and forth in the Cold and has to walk to the store no one offers us rides infect family dont have much to do with us any more.

it hasnt been easy my husband has been praying some one would have the heart to buy or give us a cheep car they do not need any longer or even a used 500 car i havent been praying this way but he has told me every day as he walks in the cold he prays he asked me if it was wrong i told him not at all becasue if God would lay it on some ones heart it would be ok then its not bad to ask God for things we need,

And of Course the test of us not being able to have our own child or to adopt due to the cost of money it takes to adopt.

Things have been a very hard road for us

sure i could say give up toss the towl in and who cares about the calling GOD placed over us, but the truth is that would be taken MANS WAY OUT no instead i will keep praising GOD in good and in bad times i will praise God in test and trail and with every strom that blows in to our life.

becasue it is in those moments we are hurting the most that we can learn alot from God he has showed me how short life turly is and that with each test and trail it is a chance to grow in our walks with Christ.

you see God don't want us to give up he wants us to stay in there and reach for that Goal he set before us and at the end his arms will open wide and he will say well done my child. those are the words i wish to here when one day i step out of this world and in to Gods kingdom, we need to stay in this Walk with God it takes alot of Faith and leaning on him and trusting in Him but God will always meet our needs one way or another we praise GOD becasue we know some how some where there will be a car for us and we Praise HIM becasue we trust my husbands pay will go up we will have a child and things will look better we praise HIM even if it dont but we trust In him for all things acording to his Will not our own.

may God Bless
