Testimony....

Monday February 21st, I locked myself out of the house; as I sat on the porch looking up at the sky, I felt so overwhelmed with all that we were facing in our lives and I broke down.  I got down on my knees and lifted my hands and began to pray my Sun Stand Still prayer.  I noticed that before I started praying, there were dark clouds over our house and everything just seemed still around me.  Once I began praying and speaking to God, I was overcome with tears and emotion, and I looked up and saw the dark clouds start to spread apart just enough to let the sun shine through.  I was sure at that moment that God was standing in front of me and listening to me.  Then, the wind picked up and started to swirl around me as if he was wrapping his arms around me and hold me tight.  I was so amazed and my tears fell harder.  Once I said Amen, the wind stopped blowing and the clouds came back together.  At that moment, Jeffrey pulled up to let me back in the house.
In my prayer, I told God that I couldn't do it anymore...I couldn't handle the pressure anymore of trying to hold it all in and how scared I was that Jeffrey was going to lose his job before he found another one.  How would we be able to handle a permanent loss of income if this happened? I prayed that he would open doors to Jeffrey so that he would be able to find a better job; one that would provide financial stability, be better for his health and would come quickly! 
February 22nd, just one day after giving it all to the Lord, Jeffrey called this one company (that he has been calling for 5 months straight), they told him to come in and fill out the application.  The General Manager told him that the company had just lost two of its employees and he had perfect timing!  They interviewed him on the spot and said that as long as the drug test and physical come back clear, he can start working!  Not only is this job going to provide an environment that is better for his health, it will almost double his current salary!  Coincidence?  I think not!!  This one goes all the way to God! 
To God be the Glory!
