Is There Anything God Can't Do?
For a person to be so negative about life as I,,,I've have the most glorious experiences with God and prayer.To say that at an early age I knew some things related to God; like the fact that he is powerful.Years later I understood his purpose for things happening in my life. I would not have been on front row as a little girl listening to my adopted father preach from salvation to healing. There are things a child will not learn ; what he (she) does not hear or see.Time brings changes; people change,weather changes,we change, God never changes.He made a ocean spit in half so his people could walk in dry land.Ten abandon lepers were healed and given a second chance . A widow's only son had died; Jesus saw her pain and brought him back to life.This is a few to recall,, God is the same ,,yesterday,,,today & tomorrow. Faith is not something you're born with; it is brought forth by hearing the Word of God. Well; I heard plenty, enough to know ,,that I know " WHO GOD IS ". Life itself is a miracle,, God is so very powerful . Because He is the same God we have promises to outlast us a lifetime,,is there anything God can't do ?? Some nights ago as I was praying, I felt the need to exalt God over and over on how great & powerful He is , as I praised him I felt a powerful presence in the dark room. For a moment it overwhelmed my body but I knew it was God's presence with me.After the praising passed I continue praying ,,I could hear him say : ask and I will give you, knock and doors will open . He said : as long as you keep believing my WORD,,,I shall answer.

God Began to Talk
All my life I have had this passion for singing,not just anywhere, ,,in church.Through my earlier years I had opportunities to sing in churches, Conventions,parks, everywhere God gave me the chance. Oh,, those are wonderful memories. Yet as time went on I became detached from my calling,I became too involved with my personal life that I forgot the most important thing .God had been my source of happiness ,my everything . singing ,as much as I loved to do became less and less part of my Christan life.When at times I would question God ;why so much pain, disappointment ,and unhappiness! He seemed to stay quiet or at least that's how it felt.Through the years I listen to other Christian singers and although they blessed my life , I couldn't kick off the feeling of emptiness.I've known God since I was a little girl ,even accepted Jesus as my Savior at an early age.I had an experience on healing when I was five years old and knew the power of prayer, but to say I knew God as I do now,,well,,I didn't. Reading the Word of God brought me closer to experiencing something so real, that even the way I pray changed.I began to hear God's voice ; at first I would question him just to make sure . When God begins to talk,there is no mistake about it ! In the Old Testament God spoke to Abraham; he is someone I admire. He was called out of his family into an unknown land. He didn't question God as to where he was going.He waited for a promise twenty something years and his faith was the only thing he had.As I read the Word , HE took me on a ride into understanding the "why of all my pain, failure and emptiness." I understood one thing among many,,, God gets happy in the mist of our joyful singing ,the praising, exalting His Name.For once my mind was clear and I could see his point of view.In the praising,, all shackles are broken. Two nights ago I sang at some church, I gave my singing to God Almighty,the One who said: I will be with you always. Something broke inside of me,I felt free as I had been so many years ago.I could feel his happiness, God began to talk. That night his power was so great ,I felt it as real as I breath.Nothing mattered,everything that had happened in the past God took control. I regained my inspiration to sing, HE has given me peace, sweet wonderful peace.

Perfect Timing
And I thought life was good . How much more could I ask for ? Could I dream some more? Was I allowed to want my share of family memories ?How many questions had I asked myself for so long?I was beginning to be content with what God had given me so far.I'd thanked God almost every day for the small things & big things,,but,,, I had missed out on childhood memories , teen years and almost a lifetime with my brothers & sisters, yet thank God,,, HE gave me joy allowing me to be near my family again. You can say it took time to know them better, ,,really!! Have never regretted a single moment with them.Yet in my heart I couldn't seem to feel totally part of them ,no matter how much time past. It was frustrating !!! I'm glad they never turned away from me,they were loyal as family should,and we learned to give & take, to love & respect.One day : don't know when,,,my heart said: you are them,,,,they are you !! give myself the chance to belong,,, TODAY ,,I felt something wonderful ; it was like God had rearranged my entire life , I felt like we had never been apart. God gave me an amazing present,,, in my heart I had a sense of belonging at last...... thank God " HE LOVES ME SO MUCH ", He was never late , He had perfect timing ! !!!!!!!!!
