GOD I PRAISE YOU!!!

This post is a long time coming...and I praise Him in the struggle and I praise Him in the victory...He is Good!
God is doing so much around me....and yet when I stop and think about that...He is always at work...question is...am I stopping long enough to see what He is doing...all around me? Here lately I am seeing His hand in so much! God YOU ARE TO BE PRAISED!
First off...today...I spent some time in prayer with one of my best friends and literally in less than an hour she was texting me that God had completely answered our prayers....THANKS GOD!!! WE LIFT YOU UP AN PRAISE YOU!!!
Then tonight I was talking to a girl that is going on the Jamaica trip and she was sharing praise after praise after praise of what God is doing in her life and in the lives of others around her because of this trip....God is touching many lives even those not going....again...WE PRAISE YOU GOD...YOU ALONE GET ALL THE GLORY!
This past week I was talking to a lady at work sharing with her that I was struggling with trusting God with the rest of the money I needed for my trip and for a bill that needs to be paid...and I left work Friday asking God to show His ALMIGHTY power in the midst of my circumstances...Joey my pastor continually is telling us that Christ has the power to redeem anything....and I was specifically asking God to redeem this situation in my life....I was trying to see this situation through His lenses not my own...and then it hit me....God was allowing the struggle in my life to show her Who He is! WOW! My prayer quickly changed from Lord...HELP...to God, if you want me to struggle so that she can see you....then let me struggle! I believed in my heart that He was going to let me go back to work on Monday and tell her of His provision....guess what??? HE DID!!!
Sunday at church several things happened....a member at church gave me some money for my trip....I was told after church that someone else had dropped off a check at the church office for my trip...and there was left over....my brother gave me a huge donation....God had it ALL COVERED! And....you know it...the first thing I did when I got to work today...I went and told my friend of what God had done!!!
my prayer now is that she sees Him...The Almighty God as being my Provider! God I praise YOU!!!
