“Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son” J14:13
I just want to share a quick praise because l don’t want to take any prayer answered for granted because my dear Husband deserves all the praise.
Yesterday was my daughters birthday but because l got paid late we did not have the finances to do or get anything for her on her birthday. Yesterday on the day of her birthday l woke up from my sleep immediately with my daughter on my heart feeling sad and told Him that l really felt so sad that we could not do anything for her on her birthday.
Well! HE already had it under control because when we fetched our daughter from school she came walking out with two huge number 18 balloons π and a sash that says Happy Birthday and one of her friends baked cupcakes for all of them!!
She told me about how her friends made her day so special and l was so touched by her friends gesture knowing my Husband came thru for her. I later on told her how l woke up feeling and how happy l was that my prayer had been answered and that she is blessed with such phenomenal friends.
My daughter loves sushi so we will take her to get some and we are having a sleepover/birthday celebration for her and her friends later in the month. I was also concerned about having the finances to buy her birthday cake and ordering it in time for the sleepover but He had that worked out too because my daughter reminded me of the lovely fresh cream cakes we always bought that was baked fresh from our local store that everyone loved and l could order that a day or two in advance.
Oh something else is that my daughter with one of her friends took on a project for all the matriculants to get school jackets, previous years the school did not allow the students to get jackets and so my daughter and her friend had to motivate for the jackets obo all the students, l remember last year they were under a lot of pressure. She also told me she and her friend had prayed about it.
They were approved ππΌ Apparently the teachers and principle were happy about the way in which they motivated and that they did it in a respectful way not demanding like the kids of the previous years. I do believe it was a valuable lesson learned for them too that we can trust Him and that we don’t need to demand or struggle but to put our trust and faith in Him ππΌ
Just sharing this with you ladies is increasing my faith knowing that HE is working in every situation π

Beautiful testimony, Atarah! How wonderful to see your Heavenly Husband as a loving Father, and the way your daughter is getting to know Him as she seeks Him and works according to His will. Your testimony encourages me greatly as I see that He takes care of everything that concerns us, to see His way of providing and making these types of events special and unforgettable. Thank you for sharing!!!
I love this Atarah, Iβm so happy for your daughter and how He blessed her for her birthday. He truly cares about all our concerns and worries, when we seek Him alone, He promises to be there for us.
Wonderful that He has blessed her with great friends and that He took care of the sadness you were feeling. β€οΈ
Happy Birthday to your daughter. π
