♕ Today's Promise: “A song of ascents. Of David. My heart is not proud, Lord, my eyes are not haughty; I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me. But I have calmed and quieted myself, I am like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child I am content. Israel, put your hope in the Lord both now and forevermore.” Psalm 131: 1-3

Brides that day not only did I get a brand-new laptop which you can read about in my last praise report but also 2 laundry baskets I desperately needed and a set of small cast-iron pots!! The pots I believe He blessed me with as when we had moved EH (earthly husband) had left stuff behind and given it to our neighbors there being no space to transport it and I was disappointed because it was stuff I needed but gave it to my HH (Heavenly Husband).
I want you to know that even if it takes time that God honors His word and will give you back double.
“Instead of your shame you will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace you will rejoice in your inheritance. And so you will inherit a double portion in your land, and everlasting joy will be yours.” Isaiah 61:7
As I got cast-iron pots. Wow by this time I feel overwhelmed like I can’t even explain how I felt… Almost disbelief is a good word to describe…
Do you know what? It did not end there… When we got home EH (earthly husband) asks me for the school accounts, there was school fees from Primary School from the prior year and this year that needed to be paid and my daughter started high school and her fees needed to be paid too.
Bear in mind that I had been mentioning to EH off and on about school fees and had been worried because nothing was getting paid and the months were going by, every month I would set aside money from my own income for school fees and every month my EH (earthly husband) would have other things to take care of instead which I agreed to.... also we had received a notice to say that parents that had not paid fees would be getting an appointment to see the principal. I knew that parents were us…
I got the accounts and right there and then my earthly husband paid up the 2 bills. Just like that POOF!! School fees PAID UP!! There were just the fees for the summons which was left which needed to get paid but EH (earthly husband) did not have enough for that too and asked me to phone the attorneys to make an arrangement. The amazing thing is that we all know that the Lord works in mysterious ways, don’t we?
The fees for the summons was my serious concern but my HH (Heavenly Husband) just knew and worked it out perfectly because when I phoned the attorneys I spoke to a very kind woman who said that no, despite the time lapsed nothing was served against me and that yes we could make a monthly arrangement of what we could afford!! What!? \o/ \o/
It turned out that my earthly husband was able to consolidate our debt and not only did He get a lower repayment but HH blessed him with a new position and he has been promised a raise in salary \o/
Brides I am still trying to take it all in. I also realized how much I needed a new laptop after working on this new one, as my old one I now realise how slow it was and how it took me much, much longer to complete tasks. Oh yes another one LFJ (laughing for joy) EH also bought me an external hard drive and the other blessing is that I can now work wherever I want to as my old laptop could not be unplugged. I am loving working on my new laptop
Brides I would still like to share the special Love Song HE gave that tied everything together, it is a Love Song that spoke to my heart and got me through without feeling anxious and worried because it spoke so poignantly to my heart. Be sure to look out for my next praise report where I complete my Praise \o/
