From Jan. of 99 until the end of Feb., we attended the second session of Weigh Down Workshop. Again, the Blessing Night was greatly anticipated. Trust me friends, it did not prove to fail!

What was spoken over me was the following:

*I am one whose heart truly seeks God.

*I have a heart of gold.

*The woman spoke this scripture over me.

*Isaiah58:11-12

The Lord will guide you always; He will satisfy your need in a sun- scorched land and will strengthen your frame.

You will be like a well-watered garden, like a    spring whose waters never fail. Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins and will raise up the age-old foundations. You will be called Repairer of Walls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.

As she spoke this, in tears I asked, “Why me? Why has he anointed me and mine to do this?” Her response was immediate. Isaiah 55:8 “My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares The Lord.

At the time, I had no idea what the scripture meant. I would wait on God to show me…AND…as He always does, He came thru.

I say this very humbly about our entire family. God has brought many family members, as well as students and friends, under our care. He has brought a zillion women to me, to guide them through depression, and rebuild their lives.

I have a St. in heaven named Johnny O’Donnell. He was a WWII Vet who was severely emotionally injured after the war. He was my guide and guardian angel. He told me that someday, I would be paying it forward to others.  How right he was!
