My "X's 2!" Testimony

What does a X's 2 Testimony "REALLY" look like? I'll give you an example of how it has manifested in my life.

During the month of March, my youngest son Braylen came down with strep throat. It was on on a Tuesday, March 28th to be exact. So we had to stay home the remainder of the week so he could fully recover. On the very next day towards the end of Midweek Worship service, it dropped in Pastor's spirit that there was a "shift" & what was is no longer! Well, when God speaks He means just what He says. When I returned to work as an elementary school teacher on the following Monday, my principal asked me, while I was out, did I remember to sign my contract for the following school year? It truly slipped my mind because during the time I was out, I was focused on Braylen getting better. However, there was such a "peace" that came over me in that moment & in my head I was actually thanking God for the release. My friends & coworkers were worried about me and began to panic. However, I just smiled and calmly told them there's been a shift & I need to find out where my next is, because this is no longer.

During the 2017 Pastors & Leadership Conference, Bishop T.D. Jakes said "God has been quiet... but He's about to speak." Also, Bishop Dale Bronner said as we were laying our offerings on the altar that he heard "BAM" in the spirit! This acronym stood for "Blessings and Miracles" are about to occur in our lives. I held on to "ALL 3 prophecies" and stayed in expectation.

During the end of May Career Day had taken place. Low & behold guess who was one of my presenters... a loan modifier. During her presentation one of my students asked for one of her business cards and I asked for one as well. I was pre approved a few days later and ready to start house hunting! However, I didn't have a job lined up for the following school year but this didn't discourage her. She knew that I would get a job and told me to continue with the process. When a former coworker heard I wasn't returning to my former school & district she told to me email her my resume so she could "personally" take it to her school and tell them, they need me! (The Power of 1) The principal was out of town at a conference & the vice principal was on vacation. However, the vice principal agreed to come off vacation & interview me because of my resume & what my coworker shared with the secretary concerning me.

She interviewed me the very next day & hired me the same day as well. I'll be making over $6,000 more per year and we're getting a cost of living raise in August. Last, but not least I just closed on my 2nd home today! It's a brand new construction and comes with stainless steel appliances, a frontal washer & dryer, and blinds in every window. The builder also agreed to pay up to $8,000 in closing cost. It's a 5 bedroom home, with 3 full baths. Also, the difference between my mortgage & rent is less than $100. GOD DID THAT... QUICKLY!
