Father, thank you for your grace and mercy that kept me. I’m here today only because of YOU.
I woke up with a heavy heart this morning…said my morning prayers…turned on the gospel station and I heard this song…I Almost Let Go.
Right after my mom’s death about seven years ago, I went through the darkest period ever in my ENTIRE LIFE. But God’s grace and mercy kept me so that I wouldn’t let go.
Things are changing in my life right now and I’m a little pre-occupied but I know that He said–’he would never leave me or forsake me.’ I know that his Word doesn’t return to him void…so I’m standing on his word and claiming the victory in his name.
This song ministered to me this morning…and at one time in my life it was my TESTIMONY…I believe I heard it today for a reason. It serves as a reminder for me that God kept me…He kept me then and He has me now…NOTHING IS EVER TOO BIG FOR HIM…also, I believe that I’m supposed to share this song with someone else today.
I don’t know what you’re going through…but God does…give it to him and allow him to work out whatever is going on.
EXPECT A MIRACLE TODAY.
xoxo

This had me sitting here with tears in my eyes. I sooo understand where you were. My song was, God Has Smiled on Me by the late Rev. James Cleveland. I was a recent transplant from the Island of Trinidad and Tobago, dealing with homesickness, suicidal thoughts and the onset of bipolar disorder. Gospel Music saved my life.
@ Dee thanks for sharing your testimony and yes thanks for Gospel Music!
Amen !!!
This is one of those songs that pulls you back of the edge. I had an almost let go moment of my own earlier this week. Was question whether or not I should keep pursuing my BSE. I’m towards the end of my ASE and self-doubt jumped in my body, but not my spirit. Lasted for a few hours, but I kept my faith and kicked it out; plus I had a bunch of encouraging words from friends and family.
Jennifer C.´s last [type] ..Check Me Out at SORMAG
@ Jennifer…as an individual with two degrees…BS/MBA…I will always encourage one to pursue higher education. Yes there will be times when the going will get rough and you will second guess yourself…but just remember you can never go wrong with getting a degree…study after study shows that those who have a degree still do better career wise and financially than those who don’t…keep moving forward and get that degree sis! Sending up prayers for you.

Hallelujah
Thank you Yas, Thank you. I was almost ready to let go. I forgot that one small statement “Let go, and Let God”.
Thank you, thank you. God put you my life for a reason. I am stronger now just for hearing this.
Jennifer keep on keeping on. I will pray for you little sister.
In my morning prayer, I asked the Lord to send me a word or message. He just happen to send it through Yas. I thank you for that. I have been dealing with some issues and it seems that when I believe things are back in order something else comes up to knock the wind out of me again. I continue to pray because I know that this too shall pass. When I read this post I realized that I need to Let Go, and Let God because he won’t leave me and he won’t give me more than I can handle. So I thank you for sharing Yas.
I will keep you all in my prayers!
