VoxBox answer to prayer

So I had a very specific answer to prayer through a website I signed up for two years ago. I received some products to try and I needed some of the items and was praying about how I was going to get them. And God used influenster to provide them!!! God is awesome!

God's mercy and love

Ok so its been awhile lol :) but God has definitely been amazing and merciful in my life!!! I praise the Lord for His mercy and grace in my life the past two years. I backslid and made many  mistakes but God got my heart and gave me a second chance!!

I remember growing up and being at camp services and hearing stories of people who ruined their lives through bitterness and anger and I can remember sitting there and thinking that they were stupid for letting circumstances control their attitudes. But no one is above sin and we are all human and we all have the potential to fall :/ And that's exactly what happened in my life. I allowed the anger and bitterness of circumstances in my life to draw my heart away from God. And Satan had a person from my past there and ready to draw me even farther away. I made mistakes and allowed my life to be led away from God.

But thankfully the story doesn't end there!!!!! God in His mercy and everlasting love used the people in my life who loved me through everything and continued to try to show me God's love to draw my heart back to Him. He allowed the man he had planned for me to marry (My Matt who is currently courting me) to be a godly friend to me. I also had several other close friends who prayed and encouraged me spiritually!!! You know who you are ;) God has certainly been wonderful and forgiving in my life!

My purpose in writing this post is not to brag or give myself kudos. The purpose is to bring honor and glory to God and prayerfully encourage someone else to get their heart right with God!!! God doesn't give up on us!!!!

So thank you to everyone who knew and prayed! God has been good and I am back to serving Him where I can in my local church :) my Vertical Relationship is right!
