Surprise!!! I am Married!!!!!!!!!!!!
I became Mrs. Harrison on November 5th, 2016. You know what it so precious about this date? I committed my life to Christ on November 5th, 2000. I am so awe and amazed how God worked this miracle!
I stated i my last post that I was worried about my health. Well, I am now undetectable since my doctor switched me to a new medicine. I became undetectable within two months! after months of testing, my doctor called me and told me that I was "Not crazy and I was taking my meds." It's just that the meds it'self, was not working. So I am thankful my new doctor changed it and I am feeling much healthier.
Almost two months ago the Lord blessed me with a full time job at City Hall! This was a God moment for sure! For the past two years I asked God to move me when I became still as I listened for His answer about my job search. Well, no answer came and I was happy just doing my part time job. About a month ago my Business Partner told me to go meet with the Military Affairs Department. He emailed me at home and at work. (I had done several interviews at this point and was frustrated with no answer.) So... I went and the Director pulled me into this meeting. He proceeded to tell me why he was wanting to hire me. He said all year long I smiled at him. I was very friendly and just being myself. HE then told me that the person holding the Clerical Support position left because she was unhappy and not so nice. It wasn't what he was looking for. When he told the Business partners that this position was open they all said to talk to me. He then told me that it took him a little bit of who they were talking about. (We didn't know each other's name or anything. I just say hi like I always do.) That's when he put two and two together and realized it was me. He then told them to get me to the interview as soon as possible. After the interview, he asked me to talked to my then, fiance, about it and we would talk next week. Alvin, of course, said to take the job if it's offered. So I prayed and asked God to give me an immediate answer. Thursday was the interview. That following Monday the Military Affairs and Veterans Department called and told me to meet with them at 1 PM. I got the job offer within five minutes! I ask God that night that is this is where I am supposed to be, then if God could increase my salary. The Department wanted me at base salary, but it wasn't enough for me to live off. So I prayed and asked for 25%. The Department gave me about 22% the next day! Now I am a Clerical Support Aide III at the Military Affairs and Veterans Department.
I love working with my new team as we make a differences for the homeless veterans population. I even get over time when we do events likes the Stand Down where they receive services and food and clothing. I love making a difference! God really answered my prayer of enlarging my heart!
After a while Alvin and I discussed our wedding date. We decided to have it earlier because I don't know what I'll be doing several months from now with my job. My boss knew I was engaged and was happy to know that I moved the wedding to an earlier date. We both felt November 5th, 2016 was right. (I didn't realized how this date was significant in my Christian walk until a couple of weeks before the wedding!)
We knew the date was right when we were blessed with the financial aspect of holding this wedding. We just finished our marital counseling as well! Our wedding was held at the nursing home where his mom lived. (Now my mother in law!) I knew we both felt it was right to do that.) Sooooo many miracles happened during this time too! (I will do that in a later post.)
All in all, I am now Mrs. Harrison and I am so grateful for the many miracles that God really showed His glory in. He deifnitely was there!
