For I have been more than 4 years in my grad school for my PhD degree. Since I have been here in the Grad School, I felt everything went wrong. I am not kind of below average student, in fact my past performance indicated that I am an above average student. But during these four years, something has definitely happened beyond my comprehension, so that I have been seen as below instead of above average. Something is definitely not right. Everything is against me and I scratch my head asking "What is going on here". But since last August 2011, something has changed and now I begin to see how faithful my God my Father in Heaven is. I have been restored to all what I have lost during the four years. Suddenly, I can have a chance to show that I am an above average student again. When the chance comes, it comes at the right time at the right situation. Yahshua has shaped me during all these years to make me humble and to develop my characters. The most important thing is I now see the love of God in my heart and His faitfulness endures forever. As a result, in the last three months, I have been restored everything I have lost in the last four years, financially as well as physically even my performance. It has been restored with miracles from God at the right time at the right situation at the right person. Now I see all my problems is to shape me to be like Him, and not to depend on myself, my own ability but His power. And now I believe even that I am blessed even more than before, for I will go up and not go down, I will be blessed in my field, in my work and in everything I do because Yahshua is with me. The best part is I have love of God in my heart like a flowing river and I have been completely changed in my character. Therefore, my performance and my wealth likewise have been in the process of restoring to its fullness even more. I realized Yahshua wants to change my character first before change my blessing. Praise Yahshua who saves me from hell and gives me salvation only in Him and blesses me as a child of the Most High, the Most Rich and the Most Faithful and the Most Love of All.

Becka, disconnecting the battery tends to wipe the computer memory clean and will often make warning lights go off. The light might have been the battery being dead. If it comes on again, most auto parts stores will screen your error codes for free (hoping to sell you the replacement part). A dead battery could be the result of a problem in your charging circuit such as your alternator or you could have a drain in another circuit or your battery could have just died. Whoever sold you the battery should have tested your vehicle to make sure your charging system was working okay.  If they didn't, go back and have them check since a bad alternator (or a bad voltage reguulator either in or separate from your alternator) will kill off the new battery if it isn't corrected.  If it tests okay, you can safely assume it was just time for a battery change.

I had a last minute client cancellation for tomorrow and I always stress out when that happens,$150 by the way , but not even 10 min later i had another client call and ask if i had a cancellation and could he get in tomorrow . No Way! I was so amazed and Praised Jesus over and over again for doing that for me. I love you Lord Thank You!!!

I have a praise report this morning.  Thank you, Jesus!

There is an old man, of 72 yrs of age who is in bad health who lost one of his dogs this morning.  I'm praising Jesus for answered prayer right now, and wanted to share the praise report with you all.

The man who owns the doggie, lives about 1 1/2 miles from us, through deep and thick woods.  He has several dogs, but the one who was lost is an Australian Shepherd with a real bad hip.  She's just over 1 yr. old, and first showed up at our house on Christmas Day, in a pouring rain.  We found her name and the owners phone number on her collar, we called the owner and he came and got her.  But... ever since then she has been coming back to our house every chance she gets.

The owner of "Sidney", (that's her name) has begun to tie her up when he has to leave the house, and also keeping her in at night, to curtail her roaming.   Well this morning, the owner had to leave to run some errands, so he tied her outside, and when he got back home he discovered that she had got loose, but was dragging about 20 feet of chain behind her.  He called me to see if she'd made it to our house, but I hadn't seen her yet.  He told me about her dragging the chain, so we both knew that she was most likely caught and tangled up somewhere in the thick woods that lie between our houses.

Myself, and fellow who works for my husband, got in Dh's little 'cushman buggy", to go up into the woods as far as we could get.  We couldn't get too far in though, as the brush and trees are so thick back in there.  The owner started from his house on a big heavy duty 4 wheeler, and we met up with him when he came around down our driveway.  Then the fellow who works for my husband went in the woods on foot another way, with a Machete, to cut his way through the heavy brush, and the owner went in on his 4 wheeler, another way. 

Well to make a long story short, my praise report is that the fellow who owns her, and the guys who works for my dH,  did find her!  The owner got to her first, and then shortly afterwards the guy who works for Dh got to them.       She was all tangled up tight around a Pine tree.    There was no way that she could have gotten loose, and would have died back in there, if she wasn't found.

I'm so relieved!  This dog is so sweet, but ever since we found her back at Christmas, she really seems to want to be here.  She loves the old man owner too, and is always happy to see him when he shows up to get her, and loads right up in his truck with no hesitation, but for what ever reason, she insists on coming back here.  He started tieing her up when he has to leave, and letting her in at night to try and break the cycle of coming to our house, but so far it hasn't worked, as she comes here every chance she gets.  If he lets her off of the chain for even a short while, she's right back here.  (She follows some of the deer trails through the woods between our houses) .

When the owner called I started praying, and walked back into those woods as far as I could get, then met up back there with the fellow who works for Dh, but we got to where the woods were so thick that we coulndn't get in there any further.  We came back to the house, where the fellow who works for dh got the machete to try and get back further into those woods.  I came back into the house, and started praying again, and was just in the process of posting a "prayer request", when here the owner and the fellow who works for my dh came down our driveway, in the 4 wheeler, with Sidney running along side!  I was so relieved and happy to see that sight! 

So, praising the Lord for answered prayer!  He cares for the sparrow, and even clothes the lilly of the fields with His splendor.  He is merciful and faithful.  Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, oh my soul!  Amen!
