Disclaimer: what you're about to read is about GOD!

I just need to testify on the goodness of God and how He just keeps on keeping on.

1st: He is an on time God. you're heard it said before, but it is just now that i'm experienceing it! i've been having some greater than natural (according to me)growing pains. it ain't easy making the decision to cut yourself off from mom and dad's money bags and stick by it especially when you live in a city as expensive as dc with all the cost associated with life and have car! i've made that choice and i'm proud of it. moving on... recently left a secure and decent paying job with potenial for salary growth and bonuses for a profession in public administration working for the district government, a job which lack security and offered me a $2000 pay cut! (i's crazy). i decided to take a leap of faith!

but here is where God shows up. two weeks before i quit my secure job i knew that i would need to get a second job for supplemental income, make up for the pay cut. i'd been looking around, called a few places and got nothing. one week before i quit, a friend comes into town and we opt to eat at a restauant a few blocks from my house. i inquire, i fill out a job application, two days later i'm trainging!

i started with the district government the first of this month, just to find out that they were in the middle of a pay period meaning that it would be another 3 weeks before i see my first pay check. typically i would have freaked out, but this time i just praised the Lord of his incomprehensible timing. my little waitressing job (2 nights a week)has been able to sustain me during this intrim. yeah i can't go out and drink or party (let it be known that i have gone out a few time recently and have not really been inclined to drink...you thinking what i'm thinking?) like i use to, but i do have a roof over my head and my belly full! :)

i serve a great God who looks after me even when i'm to lazy, stupid, careless to look after myself. i'm trying to keep it i-n-d-e-p-e-n-d-e-n-t, but it seems like every time i think i have it under control, i get thrown a curveball forcing me to step back. as much as i would love to be in control, sometimes the best thing to do is let go and loose all control. if in doing so i'm deferring to God, i'll do it; for Him, failure is NEVER an option.

this is just the most recent revelation on who great God is and continues to be to me.

i just felt compelled to share this with you. hope you are encouraged or inspired.

i leave now with two text. the first being my new found favorite:

"delight yourself in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart." (Ps 37:4)

"therefore I say unto you, be not anxious for your life... and which of you by being anxious can add one cubit unto his stature?" (Matt 6:25-34)

in love,
