To Watch Expectantly
“In the morning Lord, you hear my voice. In the morning, I plead my case to you and watch expectantly.” Psalm 5:3
For months and months, I’ve had that verse taped to my mirror in my room. As the days started and the evenings came, that verse would remain as one of the first things I saw each morning and before bed. I was recently in a season where things in life just always seemed to go sideways. Every door that I thought would be the one I would walk through, closed on me as I stood at the threshold. Job offers never came, all kinds of relationship issues arose, and constant feelings of anger and bitterness loomed over me daily…it was a constant merry-go-round for months.
Where I am now by Monica Theophilus
Friday, May 20th, 2016, was the day life as I knew it came crashing down before me. That day I was given a chance at living a life of salvation, freedom, peace, joy, and abundance. I recall the pain of rejection when my then-boyfriend of three years explained he wanted to break up. We were having problems in our relationship because I wanted to make things right with God and quit fornicating, but he did not share the same convictions. I had accepted the responsibility for changing a man when that was not my job, but I still wanted to make things work. However, God had a different plan for me.
A FREED Testimony by Michelle L. Early
I did not know at the time that God was writing my testimony.
As I laid on that bed, confessing to my mother everything that my brother had done, I did not know that God was still writing the words to His story in my life and that these words would set me free.
