What’s something amazing that God has done in your life this summer?

I just want to thank and praise my Heavenly Father. I had to go for a check up and I was feeling very worried about it. While driving to the hospital I just said “Dear God I’m worried about and nervous about these tests”. not really expecting God to do something about it. (I could’nt think of what God could do about it, short of my not taking the tests.) I went to the hospital and while I was waiting for them to call me, I started reading the “Daily Bread” which I had taken with me. One of the Hosptial staff saw this and asked if I was a Christian as she was too. She took me for all the tests and was with me while I took the blood test (Which makes me very nervous). I really thank and praise God for providing even in the smallest of things. It was so wonderful that God sent someone to help me. Thank you dear Heavenly Father. Priyanthi.

Just returned from the Navajo Nation in northern Arizona. Work and Witness program with the SW Native American District and the Nazarene Church.We did construction work during the day, worked on Pastor’s house to prepare he and his wife to move in. In the evening we brought kids in for VBS. The 3rd day we had 55 kids form the surrounding area. It is all about multiplying. It is a big let down to re-enter real life once we came home.
I have friends at church who are trying to censure me on my passion for the Kingdom. One says I am too critical and another says I am too soft! I conclude it is not what man thinks of me but the Lord! Freak4Him

I love God. He is the best example of what it is to be a parent.
My oldest daughter just turned 12 and when she turned 11, it was like a complete change of personality, character and attitudes. I had heard about the “Great Change” from other friends and family members who have gone thru the the tweens and teens and just figure, “Meh, how bad can it be?” But when my baby started the “Change” I really couldn’t handle it, most especially on the emotional level. There were so many, many…many many nights (and days) of crying, worrying, hurt, anxiety, etc. “What happened to my little girl?!!”
And just when I thought I couldn’t take anymore…God showed me all the times that He didn’t give up on me and that just as I slowly transformed and continue to transform, my daughter can transform too!
It wasn’t until a Christian therapist told me to let go, let God…that I’ve entered into a phase of parenting and I would have to pray it thru and know that God has a particular plan for her and trust in everything that I’ve done thus far in raising her. Anyway, we used to argue and fight all the time, everyday and it wore us both down in every aspect but now, she I started to thank God for her constantly and more so when we are in a conflict as well as pray for her character and attitude and do you know what?
She has gotten much more communicative and less emotional and that little change from “The Change” has made a world of difference.
Thank You Father God!

Thanks for sharing. I have three children and my oldest (who’s a boy) will be turning 12 this year. Every now and then a little attitude pops out. (grr) Your note was very encouraging…thanks again!

After losing my job last year, God has allowed me to return to college. Not only have I returned to school, but I am being paid to do so! Having a family, I am only needing to work PART TIME to make ends meat! God is good!

God is ever faithful!! I had been sick for almost six months now. Each day that passes i count as a blessing. No one could help me even the doctors.It was really bad for me during those days. I couldn’t do anything. I find it difficult to take care of my family. My husband took care of everything. God saw me through and took care of my family for me. I don’t know what i would have done without him by my side. Though i’m now going through God’s healing process, i sincerely believe he will finally see me through in Jesus Name. Amen! Praise the Lord!!!!!!!!!!1

I am 47 years old, and all these years, GOD have been blessing and guiding me. There so many many times that i left Him, i doubted Him and i turned from Him. Yet, in my peak of rebel, He was with me, He stood beside me.
I was jobless for a few months, and Finance were down a few months back, and He answered my7 prayer by giving a job. The job is a terrible one, working 14 hours a day, 7 days a week, leaving me with absolutely no time for my own. The employers are mean and unreasonable. At first I blamed Him for putting me into such situation, and i refuse to acknowledge that He put me there for a purpose.
Now, i realized that God put me here to train me, to prepare and to improve my insight. Praise be to Him

Hi there Laincy,
I just want to encourage you to keep persevering where you’ve been planted (your new job). There is someone there at your workplace that God wants to touch – and you may be the only one who can reach that person. I will pray for you, dear friend in Christ.

Good-morning to you all. This is my ‘maiden voyage’…my first post here. I will pray for anyone that needs & asks me to..please don’t hesitate to ask.
God has & continues to bless me so much. Even thru the little ‘storms’ that come my way – and they do – I just have to be still…remember Who it is that watches over me. HE will keep watch & protect me..and all I am required to do is trust HIM. (but, honestly…sometimes that’s hard to do)
hmmm – something amazing that God has done for me this summer. He has kept my children safe. (which in my book is a ‘biggie’) We have a blended family of seven children (ages 27 to 8)…so for each of them to be healthy, safe & pursuing school or have good jobs…that’s huge!
Thanks be to God, my Father!
have a beautiful, blessed day everyone.

This summer brought BIG changes in my life. After 30+years working I am now retired. Neither timeline nor reason was of my own choosing. Work was getting even more stressful than usual, new young sup was “flexing muscles” she didn’t really have just to show us “old folks” that we didn’t know anything. Stress was taking a toll on my health and after a couple of visits to my doctor(a wonderful Christian), he scheduled me for a couple of simple tests which led to a very early diagnosis of colon cancer in March. Within a short ten days I went from a stressed-out worker to lying in a hospital bed with a 6 in scar on my stomach wondering what the pathology results would be. Pathology was great, no cancer anywhere else and no further treatment other than routine follow-up tests for the next few years. After deciding it was time to retire rather than waiting I spent several months wading through paperwork, physically healing and realizing that the emotional burden of drastic change can be the hardest thing to deal with.
It’s now August and I can truly say that the greatest thing God has done for me this summer is to let me rest. He has held me in His arms all this time and let me feel whatever feelings came and held me even closer when I was unsure of what would come next.
I always knew that He was with me and that all things would work out but when I finally realized that He had used a sullen, rude and mean-spirited supervisor to prompt me to seek medical help so that my disease could not take me did I understand just how awesome He has been in my life.
I’m feeling much better each day, out of my little funk and taking advantage of every opportunity He gives me to tell others about this wonderful God I serve and how He’s with me even in the lowest valleys I walk through.

This summer God had blessed Singapore with extremely cool weather, it’s usually blazing hot and dry in this period, but no! It’s cooler than temperate regions. It’s a miracle.
Also, i thank God for allowing Singapore host the 2010 Youth Olympics here.

God works in many ways. Through our daily life, our daily experience and encounters, HE opened our eyes to see things, not at face value.
A young man got into a huge gambling debts, an started to steal to pay for them. Time caught up with him, and he was apprehended. I was the Case Officer and I handled his case. Sadly, he is a Christian….. among a large number of non Christians.
I prayed for His in handling the case, and God help me to wrapped up the case.
Bad habits can destroy a person, no matter how many other good things one had done.

I really feel a blessing from God. I was mentally sick for past few weeks. Everything so unsmooth in my life, it was really a crab in my work, relationship and friendship. I cant feel love and sense of living my life. What is the purpose of living from me? I feel i am totally depressed and finally depression was back to me. All negative thoughts strikes me and bad memory evokes back. I really feel sad and my brain just replay all the unhappy incidents that happened on me from the past till now. I feel no hope in life and no purpose for living…eventually i fall sick for no reason in that 2 weeks.
I know i am something wrong and mentally sick. I was on leave and rest at home. When i feel unconsicous and uncomfortable, I will pray immediately and pray for God’s healing everyday. I pray night and day to receive God’s healing and good spirit upon me. I just cry out to the Lord for all the burdens, worries and pressure that hidden beneath me to Him.
Finally, I feel the God’s presence and spirit upon me. I feel His care and love to me. I should have cast out all the evil thought and spirit from me long time ago. Now, I just want to maintain the joyful spirit in me and just let my old spirit gone away.
I feel everyone will face the same problem as I was facing before. But, be brave to speak to Him and honest to Him.
May God Bless all the ODB members here.
