But I did remember to refer back to my book of life and Jer 29:11 became my foundation to not give up on faith. I continued to pray and have faith through the process and asked God to lead and guide me along the way. Sometimes we forget we have to continue to pray, and praise our way through situations. The first things that most of us do when we are going through something is put the bible down, stop praising God, and the big one stop going to church. All of these things are important and must be continued through the process. Thanks Mike I really enjoyed reading this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3828280209414053664.post-84782471008860041792010-12-07T14:59:24.507-06:002010-12-07T14:59:24.507-06:00Amen!

I also have experience and still experiencing to a certain extent the same thing only I was applying to medical school while juggling being a single mother and working full time. There were so many nay sayers but I, just like you, chose to believe the report of the Lord which says that with God all things are possible, and that the Lord is able to take the foolish things of this word in order to confound the wise, and that the Soveriegn Lord is My strength for He will make me as surefooted as a deer and bring me safely over the mountain! I audibly confessed these things daily even when I did not make the score that I wanted or thought that I needed on the MCAT for medical school and thanks be to God I have an interview for Medical school!!! Like fitness is your passion well medicine is my passion and the Lord gives us the desires of our hearts as we delight ourselves in Him. He is faithful and I am just standing on his promises and declaring those things that be not as though they were by saying that I will be a member of 2011 medical school entering class in Jesus name and I will go on to become a cardiologist some day and stand on the frontlines of medicine for Christ! The Lord is truly the author and finisher of our faith so Amen and so happy for you!

Just as you stepped out on faith when you first left the fitness center, I did the same when I left Regions. I went to Opelika thinking I would find a job as soon as I got there. I didn't find a job until the end of July. I wasn't satisfied because the job payed the same to a high school graduateas it did to a college graduate. I have been applying for a job with the government since 2006. Thanks be to God, I was just blessed with the job. This goes to show how important it is to be patient and wait on the Lord. Never let the works of the devil discourage you; use it as a reason to be encouraged. ~ ArtissaArtissa Shorternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3828280209414053664.post-75941624968657921792010-11-08T16:17:14.794-06:002010-11-08T16:17:14.794-06:00Great post Mike!

I haven't read it yet, but it's supposed to be about changing your attitude when you can't change the situation. It should be a good read.Kalondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13148991155131882655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3828280209414053664.post-23234354000229995082009-11-04T18:34:57.476-06:002009-11-04T18:34:57.476-06:00God bless you brother!

I don't want to be suprised, I won't be; however, I will be ready when HE comes and I'm thankful for that! I'm thankful that I'm not ashamed to tell of the goodness of God and all that HE's done for me (and everyone else)even when we don't even realize it at times! I'm thankful to worship a God that's the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. People and things change, but GOd and HIS word are FOREVER the same!...this is a superb blog and I look forward to reading many more...Keep speaking the Truth and spreading the word.Kathy Comerhttp://www.twitter.com/poohbiesangel08noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3828280209414053664.post-18486639745160781832009-05-21T23:54:25.492-05:002009-05-21T23:54:25.492-05:00We all go though, but it is as u said.. in this li...We all go though, but it is as u said.. in this life we will have trouble but He came... I am trying to remember that right now.. I amtrying to remember that it is the forces that want to pull at my (our marriages), IT IS THE FORCES THAT want us to believe that thing we want or need will not tfall. It is the forces that want us not to even try.. I speak to that mountain and say MOVE in Jesus name. I speak to doubt and say that HE will not hold any good yhing back from us who love Him and walk in His light... In Jesus name I speak to the dry bones rejuvenate in Jesus names. I stand on these promises and go further to say that EVEN IF OUR FATHER BLOCKS THIS of which Ihave waited on that like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abendigo -- I am still going to praise you Allah, Yahweh, Elon, Hehovah, my friend, my lover, Jireh, Ropah, El Brit, Shalom - my Prince of Peace. I will not lose this battle or walk backwards in discontent. I am looking to the hills from whence cometh my help; my help cometh from you Jesus Christ; and that I may run back like the leper and tell of your goodness and mercy. In Jesus name I pray! Amen! and Amen!wynette mcwilliamshttp://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=567915359&ref=profilenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3828280209414053664.post-79440582319740514232009-04-09T22:15:00.000-05:002009-04-09T22:15:00.000-05:00I was just going to leave it at the previous comme...I was just going to leave it at the previous comment, but I started thinking...and that is so true. It is such a slap in the face for us to continue to worry about stuff..and better-yet, try to fix it ourselves, when we claim that we've handed it over. And God really shows up and shows out when we sit back and stop interfering with what He's trying to do. I love this, Mike.C.
