This week, while I am fasting, I want to speak about why I do what I do. I fast because I have to give back to God. I have to give this first week of the year to God as I need to thank him for all he did and all he continues to do in my life. I have seen the miracles he does. 

I remember listening to him when he told me to give my last 100.00 for groceries to a friend. Trust me, I did not want to listen. I even challenged him and said no but I kept hearing the message so I said if I turn around and see her I’ll give her the money, knowing full well I didn’t see her at church that night. But as soon as I turned around there she was and I begrudgingly gave her the money. Well, she was praying for a miracle as well. She needed 98.00 before the next day, or they were turning her electric off, and here I was to renew her faith, all because I was obedient. The next day, he blessed me as well, with 3 new clients. 

I started this business while I was getting divorced, but I trusted him even when I had no idea how I was going to pay my bills. Even when I thought my way was the better way and took a job. He closed that door real fast and told me to trust him. I did, and he’s come through for the last 9 years with this business.

I shouldn’t have been approved for my mortgage as I wasn’t on the job long enough, but God. I got my home for 45k less than market value, but God.

I got only 250.00 a month child support and didn’t know how I was going to survive as a single mom, but God, I kept getting client after client and I was provided for. 

Now, don’t get it twisted, I have been knocked down. I have been taken advantage of, and I have picked some men who were horrible, but through all the bad times, I always knew God would take care of me. I never let go of my faith. I knew then and now that he can and will do miracles.

So today, my friends remember that God can do miracles. All we have to do is believe, to hold on to that mustard seed size of faith and know that he is God.
