Praise is what i do.....
I honestly really do not know what to say or where to start, but all i know is this-God is faithful! I had been trusting him for a major major breakthrough for a WHILE now, but i have also been scared to go ahead and do what is required for the breakthrough to come! When all you see around you is failure and discouragements, left, right and centre, i tell you, it takes away ones morale. The pressure was much over the last one month but i bless the Lord that TODAY, the 22nd of May 2008, the Lord came through for me. He helped me to overcome my fears, or rather, step out in spite of them, and he gave me total victory.
Believe me people, fear is such a crippler! And sometimes, no matter how strong you think you are, spiritually or physically-those times just always come, when you just get to the end of yourself and just go " Well, Lord, na me be this o! Cant do it on my own!" That is where i was today, and behold- I am singing a song of freedom! A song of victory! A song of praise!! It was so bad that i cut off doing things i normally enjoy doing (to the point of wanting to scrap NR!!!! ) I am still over the moon with excitement and gratitude-i cant think straight just yet-but i am so thankful, so so thankful!
And oh! Y'all know how it is-when the devil sees you happy, he doesnt like it-so he comes up with all sorts of tricks to distract you and pull you down. Well, thats what he tried to do to me today cos in the middle of my celebration, i picked up my bag to give something to someone at work, and alas! my wallet was gone. It has everything you can think of inside, and as i speak, though i hear it is somewhere, i haven't physically seen it. But i believe God that i will come back here with my praise report about it. And oh, even if i never get the wallet,nothing will take my praise away!
God is too much! Time and time again, he keeps mesmerising me with embarrassing blessings and miracles-i can hardly contain it!
Perhaps, you are believing God for something-no matter how impossible it may seem, please, please, all you have to do is TRUST HIM! Thats all! Really! It has worked for me-it will work for you. God is not unjust. Please him in all you do, and you will see him manifest his power in the most amazing way ever.
I am more than elated and just thought to share, just incase i can encourage someone by doing so. Please keep being dilligent at whatever it is you are doing-and trust God to bless the work of your hands-He always does!

Congratulations.....  
Praise is what I do
When I want to be close to you
I lift my hands in praise
Praise is who I am
I will praise him while I can
I'll bless, him at, all times
And I vow to praise you
Through the good and the bad
I'll praise you
Whether happy or sad
I'll praise you
In all that I go through
Because praise is what I do
Cause I owe it all to you

Alpha and Omega Israel and the new breed
When you run out of ways to express your gratitude to God you sing such a song.
I recently went to Nigeria and it was super stressful as I was travelling all over so that my inlaws who have never seen the boys could see them. Anyway I got back to the states and I started to get sick. i "diagnosed" myself with a sinus infection and went on with my day went to the dr and got antibiotics and figured I would be fine in a few days. I kept waking up in the night with chills and a high fever so I once again diagnosed myself with "exhaustion". Stubborness really is a form of witchcraft. LOL. Funny enough I called my close friend in Florida and she was like do your joints hurt, I was like yeah and she said do you have a horrible headache, I was like yeah. (My dr was giving me shots for the headaches already) and she was laughing and saying my dear you have malaria. We both laughed and I got of the phone.
The next day, I woke up and got the kids ready, threw them in the car with their dad and went back to bed. I realised after a while that I could not even get up. My husband called from work and was like can you possibly get up and go to urgent care. I was like I will, just stop bugging me. Something in my speech made him decide to drive the 50 miles back home from work and am I glad he did. We got to urgent care and Iwas delirious by then. The dr was indian and after he learned I had just come back from Nigeria said that he thinks I might have malaria. so we went to the emergency room and that is when the horror started.
I was wheeled in and admitted right away. My blood pressure was 66/34, I had a 104 degree fever and I needed a blood transfusion. I was not responding but I could hear people talking. I heard someone say something about if I had written a will. I started praying. Jesus. Who will raise my children. I could hear my husband talking to me and I was crying but I was not responding sha.
I really don't know how to thank God that inspite of my foolishness atnot taking my anti malarial medicine, he still loved me enough to not deny my boys their mother. I ended up with the blood transfusion anyway but after about three days my fever finally broke and my blood pressure started to stabilize. I am well now and I have been out of the hospital for a week now, back to work and everything.
I am so thankful to God because to be honest I never thought malaria could be this serious. So thank God with me.

When you lift your hands up high
Sing a song of love and praise to me
It give me great delight
Precious in my sight
and yes it is true
Praise looks good on you.
You know how you feel when you get compliment from people, you feel indispensable. That's how God feels when you praise Him, He sits on His throne and pours out more blessing. Our God is a big God, He dwells in the priases of His people.
