My Testimony: God Spoke To Me Today

-

I'm currently sitting in Barnes and Nobles. What use to be my favorite place in the whole world, now has become a place from my distant past.  It didn’t matter how bad of a mood I was in I could always come here to relax.  I would get a coffee and plop my butt down with 5 books in front of me to escape my reality.  It was my place of peace until one day some man tried to holla at me.  To me it was simple.  Can’t you see I’m busy reading? But no this man couldn’t just leave it alone.  He looked at it as a missed opportunity if he didn’t speak.  He stole me away from my place serenity with his wack lines and utter annoyance.  FYI- Nice dude but I had to hit him with the, “I’m sorry but I’m not interested” line. Ever since that day my Barnes and Nobles experience has never been the same. That is, until today. 

I had missed my appointment at the Apple store so I decided to grab a coffee and make the best of it.  To my surprise the only Starbucks was next door inside the Barnes and Nobles.  I did the usual.  I grabbed my coffee and started to skim through the numerous aisles.  For some strange reason, I felt too lazy to even think of lifting my Starbucks coffee in the direction of a book.  I use to love romance novels or a good self improvement book but not today.  As I walked through both levels of the book store it hit me that I wanted to find the religious aisle. As I walked over I immediately felt a rush of emotions fall upon me.   My heart took me straight to one tiny book. It was almost hiding. I smiled as I picked it up.  As I opened the book I started to cry right there in that book store.  My Holy Spirit was telling me there's a message in this book for me to read.  The book is titled, 'Who Speaks To Your Heart'. I have been praying for God to speak to me over an issue in my life and low-&-behold the page I go to explains just how to handle the situation. 

Every word I read as I skimmed through books opened up my heart to so many thoughts. Things I haven’t thought about in months.  There was so much power that followed behind every word. In a matter of seconds so many thoughts ran through my mind as to how I can make my life better. How I can show God in my life more clearly. I had to sit down so fast because the outpouring of God was too much to handle standing up. I am grateful for this moment for it shows just how magnificent our creator is. 

I bought the book of course but only after I sat down to write this to you. This is an experience of how God moves through my life at times.  How does he move through yours?

I Am Rich

I am rich in Faith. I am rich in Good Health. I am rich in Love. I am rich in Freedom. I am rich in Happiness. I am rich in Peace. I am rich in Family. I am rich in Friends. I am rich in heart. God has given us so many Blessings. Everywhere your eye can see there are Blessings for us to enjoy.   Such Blessings include the sun to warm our skin, the breeze to blow our hair, wonderful smells to enlighten our senses, stories to warms our hearts, music to move our feet, and food to speak to our souls.   Why on earth would anyone think of themselves as anything less than rich? The answer is simple.   There are many differentiations of the term rich.   For example, the definition of rich is to have a great deal of money or assets.   According to the Wall Street Journal, a net worth of $1.4 Million will put you in the top 5% of Americans.   Yet, the wealthy today view this figure as chump change.   This just goes to show you we all view be...

To Eat Healthy or To Save Money?

Why is everything so difficult these days? We all need to be more health conscious, but all our quick fix choices are unhealthy substitutes. The other day I found myself in traffic and hungrier than ever. Home-girl is on a budget so it wasn’t like I could stroll over to Jason’s Deli for a hearty snack. My options were… well, you know what my options were because this is the same thing you face daily. This dilemma down right sucks! I started to get the best of myself when my thought process centered around how these unhealthy, cheap, food stops were conveniently placed on every corner for a reason. Why isn’t there a drive through subway? Why can’t our healthy options be cheaper? We all know the troubling weight concerns our country already faces, so why are we doing something more about it? I want the same amount of healthy food selections as I do the unhealthy ones and since I’m on my high horse I don’t want the healthy food places to break my pockets like they do now. T...

I Vow to Stop Drinking and Driving!!!

I recently made a pact with myself to stop drinking and driving. I am the stupid idiot who feels she is perfectly fine at 3am to drive herself home. I made sure to title this blog as such because I want people to know how dumb, stupid, insane, ruthless and horrible I have been. I didn’t want to say, "I Don’t Drink and Drive or I Will Never Drink and Drive". No, I want you to know the cold hard truth because I have a feeling you may or may not be in my same boat. Am I right? WE COLLECTIVELY NEED TO PUT A STOP TO THIS TODAY!!!!! Here’s my issue, I’m a smart girl and I know drinking and getting behind the wheel is a gamble. The only problem is when I’ve been drinking I no longer remain this smart, sensible girl. The voice in my head actually speaks the opposite of reality. I usually feel I’m a little tipsy but well enough to drive my drunk butt home, which is completely false. My realization came the other night when I was videotaping a friend proposing to his girlfriend...
