How Bad Do Ya Want It?

          Many of you know that I have been unemployed for over three weeks now.  I must be honest and tell you that it has been the 3 most stressful weeks of our ministry....and our lives.  For reasons that I would rather not get into in this arena of communications, I won't go into detail.  I'll just say that when God is telling you to get out of a bad situation for almost a year and you don't listen to Him, He's gonna get tired of telling you and finally will move you Himself!  

         I catch a lot of flack and some humor from people because of how much I like the sayings of Madea.    In "Madea's Class Reunion", Madea is speaking to someone about the problems in their life that they are struggling to shake.  While the problems are completely different, the philosophy and meaning of what 'she' is saying goes right along with what we are going through.  When you get tired and had enough, you're gonna come up out of it...one way or the other.

           Dear God....thank you for helping me to come out of it!  I realize now, that after three weeks, you've lead me into the deep end of the pool not to drown me but to help me cleanse and to heal.  Thank you for your provision...even when it's not here yet.  Thank you for your perfect timing.  

Amen.
