Gods provisions are always perfect/ part of my testimony

This is only part of the testimony of the great things God has done in my life!
I was a backslider for some time and I had been living in sin with a man who was going to marry me, he took good care of me and my daughter and I didnt have to work.
Because we were not saved we had HUGE issues and sometimes we fought , we alos both drank and he would tend to get a little violent, he didnt just beat me but if I was also drinking we would have real fights.
I had been lving with him a pretty good while and I decided I wanted to make my own money. My daughter wanted money allthe time and I was always having to get it from him. So I began looking for a job and doors were slammed in my face over and over.
His birthday rolled around and I bought a whole ribeye steak we grilled and had a huge party, I drank a whole bottle of vodka and I dont remember anything that happend.
The next morning was sunday and I woke up with this terrible feeling way down deep and I knew only the Lord could stop that feeling.
So I went to church I had moved to alabama from florida and I didnt have a church uo here so I went to his mamma and I asked her (she is babtist) where should I go? and she said "baby you can come with me" I told her "ms Doris I love you but I have to find a church where the power of God will be allowed to manifest I must go to a spirit filled church" and guess what, she said "my nephew (who was my boyfriends 1st cousin) he is a preacher at a little pentecostal church"
So I got dressed and went, during the anouncements the preacher (who is now my pastor and friend and the husband of me best friend) anounced camp meeting at "central pentecostal ministries he said " this was the church they felowshiped with!! I was in awe this was the church 100 miles away that I had gone to all of my life the church I got saved in the same church where I was filled with the Holy Ghost. this young preacher was licensed through the church I had been going to all of my live in panama city! WOW! it was so exciting because I had searched for a church that felowshiped with central in the area for about 2 years and the only one O could find was 20 at least maybe 25 miles away and here I has landed in one about 2 milws from my house! So since I was a back slider I knew Gods principals becasue I had before been saved, I had 3 dollars to may name I hadnt been to the alter yet but I knew I was going, when the offering plate came I put all 3 dollars every penny I had in the offering plate! Then the alter service came and I went to the alter crying begging my Gods forgivness I could hear the preacher saying the angels are singing the angels are singing today!! I had already known him and his famlit from famliy get togethers they knew my sinful state, most all family dinners were at my house as we lived in their granfathers house who had passed away, during sunday school that morning I had admited I was a backslider!
So I went home and the first thing I did was sit at the table and light up a cig!! I took one puff out it out and put them in the trach! I didnt want it!
Well I was broke I didnt know if I would have even gas to go back that night but I wanted to.
My mamma made a surprise visit all the way from panama city I had no Idea she was coming, I never told her I was broke or out of gas I had too much pride for that. But she insisted on buying me a tank of gas " I hate for you to have to depend on him ( the boyfriend) for everything I am gonna buy you some gas" so a full tank she bought me, then she gave me some money I tried to hand it back but she wouldnt take it. Ididnt know till she left it was 200 dollars! wow she didnt usualy do that , she might if she thought I was completly broke give me a 20 but she just gave me 200 10 twenty dollar bills!
So 5pm came and I went back to church I knew I owed God 10% so I put a 20 in the offering plate looking back on it now I would have given more but I was new still and a little ignorant. Church was great but one problem the boyfriend had been at work all day when he got home I was gonn ahave to deal with him ! I knew I couldnt keep sleeping in his bed, he wasnt going to like it! But I moved out of his room into the room with my daughter I slept either with her or on the couch it was very hard I couldnt go back to his bed, he even tried to tell me if I would quit being a Christian we could work things out and we could get married but not this way! Not as long as I was gonna keep going to chruch and no drinking either?? He didnt like hat at all we immedtiatly butted heads he was always mad at me it seemed I couldnt figure it out till a dear sister I talked to from my church back home told me and I realized she was right of corse he is mad she said" if there wasnt devision then I would question your salvation"
Then she said what does darkenss have to do with light?
So me and this man get olong sometimes and sometimes we dont but the very next saturday allthough I wasnt living in his bed I was still in his house and he had been made plans to g oto the ATV park with the kids and some others we loaded up the 4 wheeler and I ran to the grocery store to get some drinks to put in the cooler for the day! When I walked in the old lady behind the glass said " HEY!" I turned "Yes maam?" Do you still need a job? It had been months since I had been in there and asked her if the needed help, "YES MAAM!" I replied , she told me to come back on monday and I did I started the following thursady after a drug test!
So now I still have aproblem, I am living in a home with a man and I am 100 miles from my family I have no where else to go!
Well I wont draw it out so long but I will say this I had to indure living there for several months, but my grandaddy came to me and said " Baby, I found a litle double wide" " If you want me to ill buy it and have it set up for you and hannah" I said yes Papa that would be great! He bought it had it moved paid to set it up, and all I did was pay for my utilities to be turned on! So npw I pay 85 dollars a month to rent a big lot with a HUGe cedar tree that we will decorate for Christmas, I pay my utilitie bills but I have no house payment, I drive a mustang convertable with no car payment (didnt have that before either) I have to happiest little home, me and my daughter are so happy here and we dont have anyone tellingus what we can and cant do! Nobody drinking and trying to fight
My point is this its not a matter of "health and wealth" I dont care about being wealthy I just want my needs met, I live in a 3 bedroom 2 bath double wide trailor its cute andits home Ilove it here but it by no means testyfies to the "prosperity doctrine" what it does testify too is the Gods provisions are perfect! He knows exactly what we need and he knows exactly how to provide for us! No body can say what happend durning that (about) 4 month period was not the hand of God in my life!
Thats not why I pay my tithes, but becasue I do pay them with the right spirit and right heart God takes care of me!
