He can't stop surprising me...with His blessings!
God really has a way with me that I don't understand. I haven't been a Christian in about 5 yrs now (cos I just think if you miss the mark and you find yourself no longer living the life don't fool yourself or anyone else) but He still does His thing with me. He gives me things I don't deserve, He takes me where I don't deserve to be in spite of me craze, He blesses me constantly in spite of my misuse of the blessings, He makes things happen for me ALLLLL THE TIME! He has just been great to me in ways that I perfectly know I don't deserve at all. "Not at all", like one of uncountable (haven't used that word in yrs :) ) aunts in London says.

I have been waiting for this for about a year now and it was one of my main goals for the year (didn't put it here cos I was actually nervous that I might not be able to make it, but I did, so, it's here now) and it finally came this morning. I got the promotion I needed to move to the next level that I wanted to in my life. And to top it all, I got something that is very unheard of here at work. I got a double-digit pay raise. God really stuns me daily!!! Like the Good Book says, "Bless the Lord, O my soul ....Who DAILY loads me with benefits. DAILY!!! And He really does do it daily. Now, I can start preparing to make that next move. Thank you God for your mercies and for your grace cos that's all I live by. NOTHING ELSE!!!!
