Was thinking the other day in the back of my mind. That I am really not sure what I am suppose to do with my life. Because I had no parental support all my life.
I remember trying out for Cheerleader in my Sophomore year of High School and got nothing from my parents at all no encouragement or good lucks. They never came when I had a part in the school play or decorated for the Homecoming Dance as a Freshman by myself.
I do remember getting compared and to this day I am still being compared to so and so and this one is doing that and making this kind of money and I know that is something you can do.. My dad and Grandma would say.
But now that I am 53 yrs old and married to a great man whom I love dearly. I remember things like I can do this. All I have to do is set my mind up and just do it.
There are others in my life from time to time that do encourage me and help me along and give me the praise that I am so longed for in the past and now seeing in the present.
I am succeeding may not be the fast like I want but I am doing it at pace where I can see the future and what God has in store.

Giving and Blessing
I am sitting here today and the Lord and I were talking and He was showing me somethings about giving and what I feel He is telling me.
I may get criticized on this but this is what I am truly feeling and what I believe in my Heart.
Giving to the church you attend is fine and that is what you are told to do all your life. Tithe to the church so it can run.
But, God may ask you to give other places. I know for me personally I have seen that happen and I have also seen the harvest.
Let me share a bit of that. Dan and I moved to the East side of Columbus back in December and we weren't fully committed to any church at the time and to this day we are member and commit time. We went up for pray at our local church on an issue of finances to help us move. We were in need of a certain amount of money. We gave in offerings there at the church but that was prevalent to this story, We were sitting in a meeting one Sunday am and were told by God give what you have to The Healing Stream Media Network, www.healingstreammedia.com and you will have what you need.
So on the day of the move we had the money needed. But then we had stopped giving and then things got tough and we had something happen with our tax return, which I won't go into detail about right now, that seemed like it took forever to accomplish.
So we were on the couch and it was payday. We had a bit left from our paycheck and So I heard the Lord say to me give a certain amount to The Healing Stream Media Network, www.healingstreammedia.com, so we did. I sent a text to a good friends, Mark and Lori Kenney who run the station and said Hey expect something from us. Wish we could do more. He prayed and we prayed over it.
So that is when the blessing started.. The next day we got a letter from the IL Attorney General's Office, saying that we were part of Class Action Lawsuit that was worth a good portion of money. Then a week later from giving the money from IRS was released and we got an abundance from that.
I am not saying to stop giving to your local church. But listen for the voice of God and ask him where else he can use your resources.
He loves you and wants you prosper. So as you are asking open your heart and be willing to seek him in all you do.
