And Through It All, HE KEPT ME

About this ebook
I am humbled to know, experience, and continue to experience some of the most amazing, extraordinary, awesome, unexpected ways God answers prayers when we call to him. We must call on the Lord first because he knows everything, and he sees everything. He knows the who, what, when, where, why, and how to get things to us when we need them.
When I was in need of an immediate answer from the Lord, I said to the Lord, "Lord, don't let me lose mind." He stepped in right at that moment. A calmness came over me, and nothing fazed me after that in this instance--even in the simple things such as the Lord saying to me "Look in your pocketbook" when I asked him, "Lord where is my debit card?"
The Lord will give you peace and quiet, along with sweet sleep in the middle of loud music, cussing, talking aloud, just by asking him for it.
When someone or anyone who has been resentful toward you tells you they want to talk to you about something, and you don't know what they are going to say nor do you know what to say, ask the Lord, and he will give you his words and shut them down and may cause others to fall asleep.
God can also give you remarkable dreams, such as his coming from the east, and you know it's true because it lines up with his word.
When the Lord spoke to me while I was on my knees in prayer, he said, "I'll be at your side, instructing you, leading you, and guiding you" and did just what he said without speaking another word to me in that situation.
God has never broken a promise, and he never will. Lord, thank you for your grace and mercy, your love and kindness. I am so grateful, truly grateful.

About the Author
You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands; you shall be blessed, and it shall be well with you.
—Psalm 128:2 ESV
To my loving husband, Alvin Chambers Jr. whom I love dearly, who has listened to all my testimonies day after day, until one day he asked, Why don't you write a book?
Even though I had a tugging on my heart to do it, I kept taking deep breaths, but I needed to hear it. I've not only heard it from him, but different people who have visited our church have spoken it, not directly to me but to the congregation.
Alvin, I thank the Lord for your life and our lives together as my husband and friend and for encouraging me to write this book.
Preface
In my walk with the Lord, I have not always made the right decisions; however, I did not stay there. I got back up, dust myself off, and keep striving for the prize. I'm not saying we do wrong on purpose, just don't stay there. There is no one good but God.
I've used these, my testimonies of the Lord, to share the love, kindness, forgiveness, patience, and faithfulness of our Lord Jesus Christ.
I pray that this book is encouraging and an inspiration to those who read it and to those who hear it. May God continue to bless and keep you well.
You're a good, good Father. That's who you are!
For a righteous man may fall seven times And rise again but the wicked shall fall by calamity. (Proverbs 24:16 NKJV)
Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, And do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles. (Proverbs 24:17 NKJV)
Acknowledgments
To my Father God in heaven who has known me before I was formed in my mother's womb, who has loved me unconditionally, and given his life for me while I was still a sinner, who patiently waited for me to know him, who never put me down but built me up in his word. Putting people before me, speaking life into me, who kept me sane when I thought I would lose my mind, who was and is my friend when I had no friends. I love you, Lord, because you first loved me. Thank you, Father.
To my late mother, Rhoda Mae Jordan-Bishop, and my late father, George Bishop Sr., who brought me into this world. To my mother who raised all her children and a few grandchildren as a single parent, thank you for loving us and keeping us all together in the house that my dad bought for us, for taking us to church, and for sending us to church even when you could not go. I miss you so much, and I love you twice as much. Love you, Madea.
To my late father whom I met but did not know, thank you for putting my mom in her own home before leaving us. I
