The Ears of God

I pray to God daily yada yada blah blah blah lol God doesn't always answer my numerous prayers but he always listens!

I went to a youth rally in Gainesville this past weekend called operation rescue. Bro Tom Gaddy preached 2 phenomenal messages, the 1st was "the Second Most Important Decision You'll Ever Make" which he talked about how important choosing the right person to marry is. The first important decision you'll make is to serve God! Saturday morning he preached a message entitled "Leave the Church" talking about taking the message of truth and salvation outside the church and witnessing to your friends, family and community.

Honestly, I didn't get much from the sermons, but me being the needy kid that I am, once the altar was open, hurried down and started professing all my cares and concerns to God....and you know he didn't answer right then and there that night or morning, but I know he heard me! I know this because eventually he did just now how I was asking Him to or how I was expecting Him to.

You know I think that's what we fail to remember...that its not our expectations or our plans, but God's!

I ask for another job or a different one with more hours, but God just makes the one I have better! I ask for answers, for a prophesy from some minister or something and God sends someone I least expect to give me answers and all these other things I'm asking for I know he hears my cry and he will guide and direct me the way HE wants it to go!!!!

...And he knows best, so God I give you my life do with it what you will<3

"Expect The Unexpected"

Five years ago my family moved my two little sisters and I to Florida. I never realized how much my life would change. Not only did I start a new school, get new friends, a new church, but even my family life changed. Little by little my family fell out of church to the point where they didn't even go but maybe once a month. It was hard, not only for my walk with God, but also to watch them slowly, but surly lean to a life without God. I can't say I was perfect I fell out at one point also, but when I got back the only thing I ever prayed for was for them. I prayed God's will, I prayed that their hearts would be opened that they would get a hunger and that things would go back to the way they used to be so many years ago. 5 years I prayed this prayer and this past Sunday...

*GOD ANSWERED IT*

I'm not sure what got a hold of her, but whatever it was it brought my mom down to the altar and for what seemed a lifetime of praying and fasting going to waste I soon saw that it was not. My mom was dwelling in the presence of the Almighty once again. Hands raised, voice crying out, pleading for mercy and being renewed in the Holy Ghost!!!! I don't think I've ever experienced such a joy. It was overwhelming and far more then I expected. She not only got renewed, but she is changing right before my very eyes. She is doing this fast with me, she is a happier person, God blessed her with job after being unemployed for over a year and family life has been far more pleasant needless to say!

I love it love it love it<3

I'm so proud of her and all that God has in store for her and my family. It's going to be an amazing year!!!!

Thank you friends and family who have stood by my side and prayed with me! It means so much to me<3...and Billy Shear for helping me with this post!!! lol :)
