It is with complete peace and joy that I make this announcement. Today is a new day, and I am overjoyed with the goodness that can only be found in Jesus Christ. God is good, and here is why.
AUGUST 27: I started grad school for journalism.
SEPTEMBER 1: God gave me a word - I needed to come back to him. I had an overwhelming desire to grow closer to him. So I started writing my prayers & didn't stop.
SEPTEMBER 2: I felt something was wrong, and I felt God telling me to quit school. I had an uneasiness about the class, and I knew I needed to quit.
SEPTEMBER 3: Though I had passed the date in which I could drop out without penalty, they made a one-time exception and gave me a 100% refund.
SEPTEMBER 7: My prayers and other writings for the week totaled 56 pages. I couldn't stop writing. I felt refreshed, and God was doing an amazing work in my life.
SEPTEMBER 10: I received my layoff notice. Had I not quite school, I would have been out another $1500 (tuition reimbursement).
Usually a layoff or major life change such as this will draw people closer to God. But for me, God drew me closer to him over a week in advance. He was preparing me for this day. Last night I couldn't stop crying ... all tears of joy! I am amazed at God's timing and his goodness and his love for us all. I rejoice in him with all I am.
God is good! I truly can’t wait to see what he has planned for my life. Praise God!

Lisa, this is remarkable! I am so excited that you responded to the Spirit to draw closer. So many of us miss that and then wonder where God is when things get ugly. What's next for you?
A lot of people ignore God's message but because you have an open heart you heard it loud and clear. Let him lead the way!
AWESOME, Lisa. I am filled with joy for you.
That's amazing, Lisa! I can't wait to see what God has planned for you either!!
