"Prayer Testimony by Bridget Ratliff"

I just want to give a Praise Report......I have been unemployed since Dec 2001. During this time I stayed home with my children because they were small and I did not want them in day care. It was also during this time that I decided to go back to school because their were some thing that I needed to finished for myself and so that I could be that example for my children...

In 2004 I started back to school and working on completing my Associate Degree.In March of 2005 I graduated with an Associate Degree in Business Administration that is when I began to look for entry level position that my degree was in but nothing happened. So I decided that I would work on my Bachelor Degree also in Business Administration until I could found a job. Well as the story goes in June 2006 I graduated with the Bachelor. Still no job so for the second time I continue to go to school this time working on the Master Degree. Every place that was hiring I would apply during this process their were many interviews but after the interview their was never a call back for that second interview.

So I became very discourage I just could not understand why even people that I knew would not hire. These people that I would ask for a job were people that could make that decision without going though personal they had their own business. I would pray and cry Lord why can't I find they right job. Before things got better they got worse because I lost my home. Yes I was one that was affected by that adjustable rate mortgage during this period I got very depressed because I thought I had done something wrong and that I had failed God.

In the fall of 2006 my family and I moved into a house were we were leasing with option to buy $1,300 is the rent and addition $400 dollars is applied to the down payment grand total of $1,700 per month (and please whatever you do don’t be late with the rent because it would cost you additional $400 dollars as a late charge) All of this was causing great stress on my marriage. There were time times even through all of this that I just wanted out. Oh did I fail to mention that I am legally blind and that I have had two strokes.

Here is were God began to change me before the end of 2007 God drop this in my spirit that change was coming miracle began to happened one after another in November God paid off a $46,000 thousand dollar student loan. In December checks began coming in the mail. God began to bless my family so that I went to my husband and told him that God was going to bless us to pay $1,000 a week for tithes. (This will be another praise testimony later.) In January God gave it to my Pastor to tell me that God was going to bless me so I just began to shout for the victory. As far as the job situation goes I gave it to the Lord and stop looking for a job because I had just gotten tired of looking and then hearing no for the answer. So you know by then I just began to rest in God because I know that in his perfect time he would open that right door. The other morning while I was still at home in the bed sleep a job came to my front door. My starting date is February 18, 2008 Thank you Jesus God has done it again!!!

I was very pleasantly surprised to find a very nice, friendly lady who is also a believer with a soothing voice on http://www.blogtv.com/ hosting a show about "sewing". This reminded me that no matter were you may be.....God's probably got some folks around somewhere.
