Never Underestimate The Power of God

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. -Matthew 7:7

In Less than 25 days I will be turning 24 years old. 

I'm preparing for it with a smile on my face because I have life, I have a job, I have a car, I have a home, and most importantly I have God and My Family.

This past year as a 23 year old young woman has shaped me and molded me into a better person.

Not only have I advanced in my studies but my career also. I didn't think I'd ever leave Federal Human Resources but when I did, something inside me (God) reassured me that I had made the best decision.

When I woke up one Saturday morning and had an URGING (God) to go and get my Leaner's Permit to drive, I went with the notion and left the MVA with it.

Months passed and I felt that I wasn't going to be able to drive other than in Driving School since no one I knew had a car. So on one faithful Saturday, I finally took a pre-approval notice from Capital One to Eastern Motors....& walked out owning my own first car. In My Name, But because of God.

After taking all steps to fulfill the Rookie Driver Program, I took my test only to fail, by mistakes on my part. I didn't get discouraged too much, I went back to practicing and after a few more attempts- I felt an urgency (God) pushing me to go to another location. I left that place with my license.

I state this as a reminder to myself to Never Underestimate The Power of God. There's no way if someone would've told me that I'd be driving right now, this time last year, I'd believe them. It wasn't even a thought on my mind. But that's because God's thoughts are not like our thoughts, his thinking and timing are so precise and perfect that it's almost to me, a sin, not to trust him and his hand on your life.

This doesn't mean that I haven't had trials, tribulations, and day's when situations and people hurt me, felt like it was about to kill me etc. With blessings come test- hence the need of a testimony, and I believe that I've past them all to the best of my ability. God will judge me for my actions when I meet him, until then I do what I know he said is right. 

I'm not 100% in my life, Don't think I'll ever be- to human standards. But I trust God, I Live for HIM! to lead me down the right path, put in my life the right people, give me the strength to love those, pray for those, and to an extent be there for those whom have hurt me in the past. I put Fear, Anxiety, Anger, Depression and all the other conditions behind me because God is surrounding me and my life. I gave myself over to him and now it's different.

Tough times come and go, but as I get older and wiser in my faith I find that God gives us what we need to go through it!

Hopefully what I've shared can be a blessing to my readers to keep growing, keep striving, and to keep God first.

This is not me bragging on myself, This is me- bragging on God.
