God is good. Glory to his name forever.
I believe the psalmist when he wrote,
"Thy loving kindness is better than life."
I love what Jesus has done. Did you know he gave me a family? When I first got the holy Ghost (with stammering lips and other tongues), I was the only one in all my family that had it or even wanted it. I had 2 little boys then, a husband, mother, father, 3 sisters, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, and nobody else wanted it. My relatives hated what God was doing so much, that they almost put me in a mental institute! Glory to God! God was changing me! And none of us knew what was happening! But I did love it. You know what changes were being made in my life? I didn't have temper outbursts anymore. I was learning to help my husband and do the simple things he asked of me. I was learning to help others around me, and not put 'me' first. I was loving spending time with Jesus. Glory to God!
Praise God, if I had needed to be in a mental institute, He would have let their plan go through. But instead, God kept me home. For 5 years I learned to keep my hands busy, not my mouth. I believed that if I obeyed God, He would take care of me. And He did!!! At almost exactly 5 years from the date God started dealing with me, God visited my husband, Rob, when he was in a hotel room all by himself. God gave him a choice - and Rob chose to give in to God and soon afterward received the holy Ghost baptism. Praise God! Though we had been married many years, now for the first time we were united in Jesus.
That was in 1998. Then in 2003 all three of my children got the holy Ghost (different times throughout the year). It wasn't till later, when I was singing a song from Psalm 113 the words "He makes the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the Lord!" that God let me know He had done that for me. He gave me children (now 3!) and a husband, he gave me a home. Glory, glory, glory to His name. And the good part is, even if he hadn't given me that - He would still be right - and I believe I would still be just as happy! :) I love Him forever..
