I've started this blog to chronicle my many prayer request, testimonies and daily spiritual revealings. The inspiration for this came about while reading the book, The Prayer of Jabez. I've been told in the past that I need to keep a spiritual journal of all the things I've asked God for and all of the things He's doing in my life. About a year ago I felt the pull of my Spirit urging me to start writing again but I didn't really know what to write about. Since that time I've been asking God to show me more about Himself and in turn He's placed it upon my heart to do what I've been told for years, to keep a journal. So here it is. I've killed enough trees already with my ramblings so know I'm going to take up some bandwith.
What follows, is a list of some of my prayer requests, not in any particular order. I originally wrote them out on paper several weeks ago and I am blessed to say that one of them has already been answered.
- To receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
- For my family and friends needs to be met.
- Getting my car serviced, before Jan 2006, because the "Service" and "Check Engine Light" come on constantly. And that's the month I've got to get the car SMOGed.
- Taking a trip to the UK
- Purchasing a sectional sofa for my living room in beige or brown.
- Learning how to love people that aggrevate me.
- Purchasing a Mac computer. I'm still undecided about getting the PowerBook or the iMac
- Completely paying off both of my student loans.
- Moving back to Atlanta and purchasing a house (Loft or Bungalow) in the Inman Park, Candler Park, Highlands area of the city.
- Finding a job in Internet New Media making twice as much as I do now.
- To know God's will for me concerning my soulmate/rib cage/husband.
- Starting ministry teaching basic computer skills to adults and children as well as starting an art after school program for kids.
- To start streaming music via caferadio.org.
- For the victims of Katrina to stay safe, for families to be reunited and for the Gulf Coast to come back stronger than ever.
- Learning to trust God more and not be conformed to the ways of this world.
Praise report:
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to report that several of these items have come to pass since I posted this. They are:
-To receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Received it at Christian Cultural Center during service.
-Purchasing a sectional sofa for my living room in beige or brown. I actually purchased a gray sectional sofa January of 2009.
-Purchasing a Mac computer. I'm still undecided about getting the PowerBook or the iMac. Well, The iMac and Powerbook are no more but by the grace (and finacial resources provided by God through my taxes) I was able to by a MacBook Pro for my 30th birthday last year.
-Finding a job in Internet New Media making twice as much as I do now. I can happly say that as of today, I'm working as a web developer at a software technology company in NYC and I'm making more than twice my old salary.
-Starting ministry teaching basic computer skills to adults and children as well as starting an art after school program for kids. I haven't yet started the after school program for kids but I have taught basic computer skills to both adults and children.
-To start streaming music via caferadio.org. caferadio.org was born in Oct of 2005 and was put to rest in 2007. I'm glad to say that I actually saw the vision and was able to get it going though only for a short time. It was still a blessing and a lot of fun!
As for the other items on the list, they have either not come to fruition or will continue to be works in progress.
