PRAYER CHANGES THINGS
HAPPY MONDAY!! This morning I read my scripture reading and it just so happened that I ended up reading one of my FAVORITE stories. In Acts 12:1-17, King Herod threw Peter in prison because he was a Christian. A lot of the persecution that we go through in our everyday lives is because of what we stand for. When you stand for Christ, the enemy will send attacks your way. BE PREPARED! While Peter was in prison the saints were praying CONSTANTLY. When you’re going through a tough time, do you have a friend that you can depend on? Do you have someone who will pray you through your storm opposed to talking about you and taking joy in your pain? If you don’t, FIND friends who will STAND with you in prayer and fasting when life becomes hard. Because of the consistent prayer of the saints, God sent an angel and rescued Peter OUT of prison. Peter was in AMAZEMENT at how God rescued him. When we are going through tough times we have to believe that God LOVES us and that He will ALWAYS make a way of ESCAPE for us. Trouble does NOT last always. This testimony of Peter is so encouraging because it lets me know that PRAYER CHANGES THINGS and that God ALWAYS takes care of his own.
HOT LOOK OF THE DAY

It’s OK to ENJOY YOUR Life
I’m sitting here at Taco Mac….WRITING! I went to Taco Mac with a friend on Sunday and because the Falcons won the game they gave me a FREE coupon (I LOVE FREE FOOD) to come back and get 6 wings for FREE (Did I mention FREE) within a week. Tonight before I left home I second guessed going to Taco Mac by myself. But then I STOPPED myself and thought…..it’s FRIDAY night; why should I sit in the house just because I’m SINGLE?!? With chapter 35 of my life beginning in less than 2 weeks…I’m doing things TOTALLY DIFFERENT. If I want to go to a restaurant to eat…..I WILL!! Nothing is going to STOP me from enjoying MY life! The wings were FREE but I knew that there would be a charge for the French fries. I got my bill and the TOTAL was $0.42!! The server was gracious enough NOT to charge me for the fries or the up charge for all flat piece wings. God is SO AMAZING! Even when I’m all alone he lets me know that he is with me and I feel his LOVE. In Philippians 4:7 it says, “Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.” Wherever God has you is where he wants you to be at the moment. TRUST HIM and BE HAPPY!
