I had gone to a service at Bro. James Boatman's church. And as everyone knows, I am a leaver. I leave things EVERYWHERE I go. Well, in this case, I left the Bible that had been given to me shortly after I received the Holy Ghost, by my former pastor. I was so distraut that I'd lost it, and I called the church, only to have Sis. Tamara Boatman tell me that it wasn't there. I gave her my number and address, and asked her to send it to me if she ever found it. That was back in 2001.
After a long road of backsliding, a bad marriage, and a world of bitterness, I moved back home from San Angelo. I honestly at that time had absolutely no clue of what I was supposed to be doing, or where I was supposed to be living. It was totally crazy. So, I asked God for a sign. He'd have to show me if it was His will for me to stay out in East Texas and go to First Pentecostal church of Daingerfield.
Thank God for Facebook. I logged in after a time away from it, and had several messages. one of which, was from Sis. Boatman. She had found my Bible. Nine years after I'd left it there. I'd gotten my answer from God. It was a sign 9 years in the making. God knew that I would need a major sign to let me know I was on the right track.
Thanks, Sis. Boatman, for sending me my Bible back! It now sits (very worn, and well used) in my new curio cabinet, as a reminder each and every day, that I am right where God placed me. There will be no lies of the enemy that can tell me that I am not in the Will of God anymore. That Bible is a landmark, and a testimony of the forgiveness, and restorative power of Jesus Christ.
