Praise Report: I'm sitting here in my Grant Writing Class. I was feeling overwhelmed with work, homework, I'm in Masters Program here at Coppin State University and I was ready to drop out of this class. But the professor share with the class we are not quitters and I remember what we read every Sunday our Covenant that we are empowered disciple capable of doing everything that we do for the kingdom of God.
I realized God has equipped me with all the tools and knowledge I need to become the Master Student that I know I am and it because of you Bishop Thomas and my New Psalmist family that keep me striving to do my best and especially my husband and son who support me in finishing journiey I on I will graduate in Spring 2010 with my Master Degree in Vocational Rehabilitation Counseling.
To God Be the Glory for the Grate things he has done.

Praise Report: In 2008, I left a position due to problems with management. In 2009, God saw fit to elevate me into a position where I work directly with upper management. He has given me a project where I was able to bless my former manager with 3 new personnel. Prayerfully their experience will be better than mine. I know that I am growing spiritually because my natural man could have easily ignored the personnel shortages.

Praise Report: 2008 was the year when I thought that I was going to lose my mind or had lost my mind. It started out with me having to have 2 surgeries one on my knee and the second on my foot. It seems like ever since 2006. I have been having some type of surgery on my lower extremeties. The enemy constantly seem to be attacking me where I could not walk. But God is good and he is defintely able to do what his word says. God minister to me throughout every surgery procedure and I call it my God time. Once I was able to get enough strength to walk on my crutches. I kept going and coming to Church. But this last surgery he blew my mind. God relieved things to me that made me question him or maybe God had lost his mind with what he was asking me to do. My finances went haywire. Seems like I was robbing Peter to pay Paul and Paul didn't have anything. My back was up against the wall. But God, But God he place friends and friends of friends to help me through. GOD TAUGHT ME WHAT TRUSTING IN HIM WAS ALL ABOUT. PROVERBS 3, 5-6. 2008 WAS DEFINITELY A TRUSTING SEASON. I was transformed and I am determine to do God will for my life.

Praise Report: Last year, 2008 was a trying year to say the least. In the last three years
I have had surgery on (3) different extremeties.For(3) mos. I was unable to bear any weight on my right ankle and was wheel-chair bound. God humbles you, draws you closer and whispers in your ear, "It is time to give ME all your praise". During that 3 mo. period that I had to depend on Family & Friends to assist me in almost everything I did;I learned to depend
wholly on the Lord. To stand on his promises& He would supply all my needs. When you confess your sins with your mouth to him, and lean entirely on the Lord, HE WILL see you through whatever you are going through. I can walk without limping, and I can truly say I have no pain from my ankle surgery although (2) rods and 3 screws are in my ankle. God is just so good to us, that in spite of what we do and say, he keeps on blessing us, HIS children
and all you have to do is believe, receive, and share the word with those
who look at you and wonder how you keep
on getting up in the midst of your circumstances. God truly loves.We try everything else, Why Not Try Jesus?
I am a living testimony, he will do what he says he will do for you in your life. Give your life to him today....
TO GOD BE ALL THE POWER AND THE GLORY!!!!

Praise Report: I Praise my Heavenly Father Every Day. Not only do I feel His Presence, but I feel like he resurrected me, he re-energized my Hope. When the Doctor's gave me two hours to live, and said that I would probably not survive the operation of a Liver Transplant. Something miraculously happened, God, our Father, Jesus his son, and the Holy Ghost stepped into my life again as it was done so many, many, many times before. I now expect the impossible because our God has ALL POWER IN HEAVEN AND EARTH EVEN TO RAISE THE DEAD AND TO SUSTAIN OUR LIVES. Life is not over until God says it's over. I believe every WORD that comes out of the mouth of God. If God said it, he'll do it. So it does'nt matter what I'm going through, God loves us so much that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes on him should not perish but have everlasting life. Only trust and obey Him. He'll see you through it all. There is no greater love than to give your life for another and that's what Jesus did to redeem us from Sin. All Praise is due Him for such a time as this. I'm celebrating for President Barack Obama, but mostly for our Lord & God JESUS the Christ who saw fit to make my two year liver transplant anniversary, January 20, 2009 the same day as the President's Inauguration. What a Powerful God We Serve!!! IHS Eternally, Brother Johnson

Praise Report: Praise The Lord from whom all blessings flow! The past 5 months have truly been testiment of my faith. On October 15th of 2008 I lost my job, On Novemeber 5th 2008 my husband was jailed for traffic violations, unemployment denied me benefits...and the bills were still coming. Mind you while my husband was in jail he wasn't getting paid. I took the little savings we had to pay bills but that didn't last long. But God...I had to hold on to His Word and trust Him like never before. My cell phone was going to be turned off but after I explained my situation to sprint I was given a $200.00 credit...Glory. I had my appeals hearing with unemployment and I was able to recieve my benefits, my husband went back to work (Thank God he works for the federal gov. any were else he probably would have lost his job because he had to do 35 days). God is faithful, He will never leave you nor forsake you. I have lived it and I know what I'm talking abou. I have seen Him do the miraculous. With no income at all God still provided. He is truly amazing. We can make it through anything, but we have to Let Go and Let God. I am a living testimony of what He can do!

Praise Report: 2008 was a roller coaster ride; my department was disbanded, long time friends and co-worker were let go and there was down sizing in every part of the plant. But through it all I'm stil here and I'm still employed. I thank God for keeping me and for reminding me that He is my Provider. Thirty-tree years ago I saw His hand open the door to this job and when it's time for me to go, He will open the next door. 2009 I'm renewing my committment to doing what God requires. That giving him more time and attention. Reading for understand, but I also listening for guidance and revelation. Pastor told us to be intentional in our efforts to be renewed and transformed. I've decided to reach for what I want and not wait for it to fall in my lap. This is all part of "stretching"......I'm believing that it is with in reach. I encourage other to believe as well.
Peace and Blessings!

Praise Report: To make the decision to be determined to stay transformed has changed the way I view the destiny God has for me. It has only been a week, but I have made more conscience decisions; not just ones that happen by accident. I did not realize I was not renewing my mind on a daily basis, but I have begun. I have become more focused on God and not on me This allows me to take one step at a time in getting closer to Him.

Praise Report: I am DETERMINED to have a GREAT 2009!
In 2008, I felt like the man on the mat at the pool. I became too comfortable in the same place.
As I was stripped of many things, I learned to know God as a Provider.
I now feel RENEWED! I know 2009 will be the BEST YEAR YET!

Praise Report: I must say that over the last 5 years, I have been threw the fire and back. Sometimes you wonder why God allows things to happen. I went to the DR's and they told me I was HIV +. Now I knew GOD and could not understand why I someone was telling me this information. I lived for 2 years wondering why me and why did the GOD i serve allow this to happened to one of his children. See I thought I was different and that things could not happened to me. GOD truely placed me in check. Over the last three years I learned that GOD is with me no matter what. God had saved me more than I can tell you about and more than you could ever think about. With all that being said remember that GOD is always with you no matter what you are going through. Remember, In the time of trouble he shall hide me........ Oh taste and see that the LORD is good..... The LORD is my sheppard I shall not want..............I tried HIM andI know HIM......

Praise Report: The beginning of 2008 was hectic for me because a lot of unresolved issues from 2007 was carried over in '08. I heard Bishop preach, God changing your mind and not the situation. I was determined the situation was going to change, beacuse I had had enough. I can be very strong willed and stubborn, but I've been praying for God to help me because it's hindering my blessings. Well about five months into the year I said, "okay God, whatever you want to do just do it". By the end of May I received a pay increase of $2,994.00, three months later I was offered 50 - 60 hours of overtime for 5 consecutive weeks. This allowed me to pay off a credit card and save quite a bit of money. To my surprise I had to use all the saved money for car repairs. I was upset at first, but I made the choice not to stay in that place. I kept my head lifted, I praised, sang giving Him the glory. As I look back at 2008, this was a renewing of the mind experience. Everything is not perfectly in place as I would like, I will keep smiling, singing and praising His name. A wonderful change has come over me and I like what I see and feel.
TO GOD BE THE GLORY GREAT THINGS HE HAS DONE!!!!

Praise Report: 2008 was a tumultous year for me and my family. At the beginning of 2008, my youngest sister was diagnosed with a potentially life threatening growth on her spine. Needless to say, our small family was devastated. Upon hearing the news our first response was to pray for her healing. In the past, our family had seen God defy medical science and miraculously heal our loved ones. We had also experienced times when God chose not to heal those we love. I have learned that no matter how God chooses to respond, I must trust Him to do what is best for the situation. So I continued to pray for my sister, believing that God would do just what He said He would do--never leave us or forsake us. After undergoing numerous tests and unsuccessful treatments, my sister's doctor asked her to come to his office. He showed her the most recent MRI and told her that the growth on her spine was no longer there! Look at God. No matter the situation, I believe God!

Praise Report: God is good. God is worthy and he desereves all of the glory, honor, and praise. In June of 2008, my mom passed away and i really do miss her. I noticed that since the time of my mom's passing, i had not been praying or reading God's word which are the things that i love to do. After sharing this with 2 of my friends they both encouraged me to go back and began again to do what you love. I am here to testify that i am back on track with my praying and reading God's word. When i began my day with God it makes the day go by so much better. Even when i am experiencing difficulties at work, God gives me the wisdom and the guidance to handle things in a proper manner. I thank God for the privilege of prayer, and i thank God for his word which is our roadmap in this journey called life. He is able to be and do all that we stand in the need of. We are the King's Kids, and Our King has our lives in his hand.
