I Give Thanks

The Lord has truly been good to me and I am so thankful for it. In September, about a month after getting my Sisterlocks, I walked off of my job of 6 years. Call me crazy..I know. A month before that, my 3 year relationship ended. But everything does happen for a reason I believe. While no longer having a job and a man, I certainly had the utmost love and support from my family and friends. For this, I give thanks. To my new Sisterlock family who give such wonderful words of encouragement, advice and inspiration...I thank you. I now have a new job to look forward to, as well as the many people who are coming in and out of my life. To God Almighty - I give Thanks!

Amen, my sister! And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus Philippians 4:7

What courage it took to walk away from your job trusting that you would be covered.

God is Good. Congratulations on your new job. I know the feeling of walking away from a job. Sometimes you have to just step out on faith. God will never leave our side.

Amen to you! I learnt some very valuable lessons in life over the last 12 months. My mother was diagnosed with skin cancer in May and sadly passed in October. Live your life! Do the things that make you happy, life is very short indeed. In a short space of time lots of things can happen, good and not so good. I lost my mum, but am to become a grandmum in May, all the space of 12 months! He knows what he is doing!! Give praise!

It was meant for me to come upon your blog today, as I carry around the feelings of doing what you've done...which is to quit my job. I finally realized that I've been trying to fit into an atmosphere that hasn't and does not bring me any peace or happiness. My plan is to also walk away, and God willing not have to work for anyone else, but to own my own business. I'm still working it all out, but with the wonderful testimony you've shared with us, I know I too will be blessed because I followed my heart, and walked out on FAITH!

Many Blessings to You!

This is a awesome testimony. As Christians we are to praise God in the good and the bad. I am learning to praise God during what "seems" like the bad. To come here and see a living example of how to do this is powerful. This will remain with me for a very long time. I now look forward to reading more of your blog to see of blessed the future turned out for you.

That is one of the coolest and best parts to reading a person's blogspot from beginning to end. You only have to be in suspense for a few hours to days (depending of your reading availability), whereas when the blog was written the transformation process took, weeks, months and sometimes even longer.

Thanks for being courageous in God and sharing this with us. You go gurl! You get an phenomnal woman of Sisterlocks praise from RJQueen10

Sis RJ - you are absolutely right. That's how I became so addicted to blogging so I do understand. Thanks for all your kind words!!
