That's the joy that no one and nothing can take away. Please, everyone,
pray with me that God will help me put Him first in my life too.

inside, and wonder why it never works out. Because I've put ppl infront of
Him. I know to you it may sound simple and you may be thinking....DUH..but
its like this huge revelation to me. It became Rhema this week.

meeting with a very encouraging friend today, I realized how much God has
been doing IN me since I really started getting desperate for Him. When I
look at where I was just 6 months ago...God put this person in my life who
has only looked to uplift me, encourage me, pray for me and be my friend. He
has never asked for anything else other than that I be the same for him when
he is the one needing it. Trust me, it is nearly impossible to find someone
who isn't looking for something in return. Well, come to find out today, the
whole time he was ministering to me, it was healing his hurts in areas he
thought couldn't be healed and he didn't even realize it.

week, and it has been blessing me....and something just hit me...no matter
what, wether I make my car payment or not, make my rent or not, have a job
or not, wether I feel He let me down or not, God is still so worthy of my
praise. I have seen Him do enough miracles to last me more than a lifetime.
I made a decision today, I'm gonna praise Him either way. I said Jesus, even
if You don't provide these immediate needs, I am gonna praise you anyway.
After walking through the wilderness for so long, to finally be able to just
feel His presence when all I have to do is think of Him....its a precious
precious gift and I don't want to let go of that because I missed that
feeling soooo much. I appreciate it so much more.

> The thing that is so joyful about this...is...I came to this...without
anything circumstantial happening. No miracle happened, no big check
appeared in the mail..I just got desperate enough to hear the truth. The
truth about me...and the things He is showing me...isn't very pretty...but I
want to clean out the gunk inside...so it stops messing up everything else
in my life.
