It has been more than a year since I have posted here, but God has been more than good to us. My husband Quince is at the end of his second year in medical school and has seen God's amazing hand move on his behalf. Our needs have been met and we give God all the PRAISE and honor that only he deserves!

Psalm 136
O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy endureth for ever.
O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth for ever.
To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy endureth for ever.
To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy endureth for ever.
To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his mercy endureth for ever.
25 Who giveth food to all flesh: for his mercy endureth for ever.
26 O give thanks unto the God of heaven: for his mercy endureth for ever!!!!

No fat check


Philippians 4:19 says, "And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus."

Over the past months we have reflected on this scripture but only through our carnal minds. If God said he would supply our needs according to the riches of his glory then any day now we will either get a high paying job or a big fat check in the mail. Yup, he will wow us because he is God. He will do it big!

Well he DID wow us! Not with a big fat check like we were pretty sure he would but with friends and family, through small acts of kindness. Yes small acts that amounted to big blessings!

Praise God! He may not work in the way we expect him to but he sure will work in every way that's best for you.

I believe God, his word is true, I believe God what he says he will do. I believe God he will always come through, I will choose to believe, I believe God! Praise be to God!

No Mistake - Testimony

Our family moved to California in July and my husband began school almost immediately. I had been earnestly praying and searching for a job even before relocating because I was aware of the many obligations we had left behind as well as those awaiting us. We were encouraged to step out in faith and so we rented a house close to campus and settled in.

One month went by and I had attended a few interviews but received no job offer. We kept praying. Two months went by and our funds were running dangerously low but there was still no job in sight. My husband continued to attend school but we both knew it would only a matter of time before we would have a negative balance in our account. We cried out to God, "Lord, we claim your promise that you would never leave us nor forsake us...we know you will provide.."

It was a Thursday afternoon and I remember casually answering my husbands call to our room and hearing him say to me, "I just checked our account and saw that a full paycheck from my old job was deposited today" My jaw dropped in disbelief. How could this be? He left the job two months ago, he received his final paycheck and there was nothing else for him to collect. How could this be? Did God provide this money for us or was this a mistake?

That night we prayed a reluctant prayer of thanksgiving as we were aware of the call we would have to make in the morning. "Mr. Gibson we checked our records and there were vacation hours that had accrued and...there is no mistake sir." HALLELUJAH!!!!!! God came through for us in a miraculous way that day!! He provided what we needed and more!! "Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear." Isaiah 65:24  God is worthy to be praised!

Psalm 23

The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.                         HE IS OUR PROVIDER!
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
he refreshes my soul.                                                                      HE IS OUR STRENGTH!
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake                                                                          HE IS OUR GUIDE!
Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil
 for you are with me;                                                                      HE IS OUR PROTECTOR!
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.                                                                             HE IS OUR COMFORTER!
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.                                                                           HE IS OUR SUSTAINER!
Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.                                                                                               HE IS OUR HOPE!


And so we praise him!

For every mountain, I give you praise! - Our Testimony In Song

There hasn't been a challenge that God has not seen me through. What he has done for me, he can do for you! Although the recording is not clear and you can hear our children in the background :) I want to share this song with you to encourage you. There is nothing too hard for the Lord. No matter what you are going through, he is ABLE to see you through. He is worthy to be praised!
