I just wanted to write about a strange "coincidence" that happened to me several months ago. I had become very discouraged and was under alot of stress. I was stressed out about my work, family life, personal life, church life, and finances. Everywhere I looked, I saw problems at every turn; problems that seemed like they had no answers that I could see.

I started a 2nd temporary part-time job. Because people had given me such a hard time on my main job, I deceided that I would start wearing pants on my new job. I did not want to, but I felt like I had to because I felt I couldn't take people giving me a hard time anymore. People had been so cruel. I felt that if anything else happened to me it would be like a death blow to me. I prayed about it and asked the Lord to help me. I asked my mother to pray too. I did not want to do it, but I couldn't see anyway out of it. I needed my job and I needed my nerves to be able to handle it. It scared me to start wearing pants, because I felt that I would drift away from God.

On the day I was to go in to my new job, that afternoon I woke up late and didn't have time to go to the store to buy pants. I deceided that I would go and see what kind of people I would be with. My 2nd job required me to go to the people's homes in order to do my job. I arrived at the home and began my work. It did not take me long before I realized something - This was the home of a Message believing family! I know this was no "coincidence." On the day I was going to start wearing pants to make people treat me better, was the day that I walked into a Message believing home(In a city with over 100,000+ people). I felt the Lord was definitly letting me know to NOT wear pants. Also, in a way I can't explain, I felt a new strength and new resolve to keep going on. I felt the Lord was letting me know that He is in control of my job, who I'm around, and where I go.

A few weeks later, I had another strange "coincidence." I randomly picked out an MP3 to listen to one day. As I was listening to it, for some reason I began to think about the checks that I had filled out several weeks before and how desperately I needed the Lord to move. No sooner than I thought this, when Bro. Branham began speaking about checks and quoted what is printed on the inside of the checkbook. I know that this was not just another "coincidence," but I know that it is God lovingly letting me know once again that He is in control. For that I love Him. And I love Him for loving me.

May God richly bless you.
