Praise him in advance October 7, 2008

I have had a day; I am just trying to keep it together. I am living proof that the devil doesn’t bother you when you are in sin. I was listening to Marvin Sapp this morning on my way to work. I just got it this weekend because I was like ok I want to see what else he got going on because “Never would have made it” is blowing up. So I was listening to the rest. I am in awe track 6. I am not even sure what the name is because the case is in the car but OMG!!!! It talks about praising God in advance Praise will confuse the enemy. It is just miraculous. I am on the highway crying, sobbing. I just can’t believe how that song was ministering to my spirit. I have been through so much, but God has just been so good to me. The more I do whatever God sustains me. I was in class last night and we were debating issues and people were just spewing their opinions about so many different issues. I didn’t even have the energy to say anything. I thank God for taking care of me and I will pray for people that are so self righteous. I feel like everyday I get stronger but back to Marvin Sapp, his entire CD blessed my soul. I would advise anyone who doesn’t have it to go get it. I have just kinda been taking things day by day. I am trying my best to balance everything. I know the Lord is looking out for me, but I just need to I guess stay prayed up so when adversity comes my way I don’t break down. I feel like beans, you know better than that. Don’t sweat the small stuff but all the small stuff added together becomes big stuff. I think at times I bite off more than I can chew but I have a sense of duty to my children, work, school, and my relationship. I know all things work out for the good of them that love the Lord, but some days if you don’t watch it, the devil will get in the mix and have you all messed up. I need to do something to get it together. I think God is about to make all of my hearts desires come to pass, and the devil knows that so he is trying to get glory. Each day I am in prayer over my family and my friends there is so much going on in the world and I want to feel ok about everybody and their walk with God. People always consider me to be so nice. At times I feel like a doormat but I think I am just trying to be too may things for too many people. So I am praying for God to teach me to say no and speak up to people when I feel I am wrong, but like I always say, when this is all over God will get the glory. Be blessed. I will be back later.
