My Testimony
Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. Proverbs 31:25
Wow this is the last year in my 30’s and I have to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for all that he has done for me every single day! I’m at peace because of him, I have joy unspeakable! I’m loved unconditionally, and I’m protected and provided for eternally. Today I just want to say thank you Jesus!!! I see miracles daily in my life and I’m always in Awe! When trials seem to weigh me down, he gives me strength to keep moving forward. I’ve learned a lot and is still learning how to be a better Christian daily and even when I slipped and fall, he’s right there to catch me. What an amazing God and Year! Thank you Jesus! ❤️
In Trinidad we have an appetizer called Pholourie that's paired with a condiment of tamarind ( tam bran ) or mango chutney. Well I didn't have either mango or tamarind on hand. So my creativity hat came on and I decided to make a peach and pear chutney. It tasted just as delicious!
I tried a recipe for cornbread about a month ago and that was a total disaster! It was too sweet and the texture wasn't to my liking. I tried another one and made some cornbread muffins and this was sooo delicious! It was so light and fluffy with just the right amount of sweetness. Moral of the story, always continue on the road of success and you'll definitely reach your destination.
I have a testimony with this Cheesecake I baked for my Mom Birthday. My second time baking this Junior's style cheesecake and I must say I'm very well please with the results. I also attempted to do a chocolate flower ganache for decoration which I thought would have been a big failure because the chocolate wasn't cooperating, but I always remember to pray when things go wrong or right and I did just that. Look what God does when you ask for help, he never fails, it came out pretty good. Thank you Jesus!
It’s my 38th Birthday and I thank my Lord and savior Jesus Christ for the breath he allowed me to breathe today! It’s an amazing journey as my life bring glory to God as I remember giving my life totally to him after 9//11. I remembered it like if it was yesterday, I saw the second plane crashed into the tower while the first tower was on fire as I stood at the glass window of my college classroom, frantic not knowing what is going on, thinking to myself it’s the end of the world however I made it home safely when many others didn’t have that privillage. After that tragedy, God spoke to me and ask me a dearing question. He said Kizzy if you had die that day where would you go, automatically I knew the answer and I said hell. He said yes because you don’t know me. Now mind you, I went to church, I thought myself to be a good person, I love people but my relationship with Christ I had none. He then gave me a profound analogy, he said we are like little ants and we think we are high and mighty here on this earth but with one snap of the finger he can crush us and that would be the end of our lives. (Sigh, Thank God he didn’t) Then he said if you give your life to me I’ll use you for my glory. I made up in my mind right there and said yes Lord I surrender my life to you and I want to be used for your glory. I got baptized and followed Jesus and I’m thankful for that encounter I had and the choice I made to follow him. It’s not an easy road because I suffered many afflicitons, persecutions and tribulations but it’s so rewarding because I have peace in the storm, joy overflowing in my heart and love that no man can give and I won’t trade it for the world! The scripture says what does it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and loose his soul? Mark 8:36 That answer for me is loosing out on eternal life which this world can’t give me. So for that, Lord I say thank once again for saving me! I have many more testimonies to share in the future God’s willing. Thank you everyone who has blessed me with prayers, well wishes, phone calls, hugs and kisses. May God bless you tremendously and it’s well appreciated.

The Breakup / Accident
I met my ex fiancée a year ago while vacationing in Jamaica, I ministered about salvation on our first encounter. Though he wasn't a Christian there was a connection I felt with him. We had some good conversations which was refreshing to me hence I haven't dated anyone in the past 10 years. He showed interest in me but I was really hesitant because of his non Christian status. I told him if we have to be in a relationship he'll have to become a Christian. So as time goes by he told me he rededicated his life to Christ because he's already baptized from a young age and he knew back then that it was what he wanted and it was real. My feelings started to grow more and I decided to give him a chance. We prayed and read the bible together, video chat almost everyday and I really started to see good changes in him. The whole time I was still trusting God and asking him if this is a good decision that I've made. Months went by and God started to reveal things to me in dreams that I've ask him to show me about him. I asked my ex to bring anything he may be hiding to the surface and he did which made me disappointed and upset so I broke up with him. I didn't contact him for about four months and I continue to live my Christian life. But then I started getting dreams about him again but this time it was good and apparently my feelings was still there. I went back to Jamaica on my second vacation the following year to really connect with his family because my relationship with his mom was really good and mind you I still wasn't in contact with him. We reconnected while I was on vacation and he told me he want us to get married. A little hesitant about second time around but I gave in again thinking this was God's will. Afterreturning home from vacation I got some devastating news about him crashing his motorbike and he is in critical condition. The day before that happened I was lead by the Holy Spirit to go on a fast and pray for him. I stood by his side the whole timein prayer believing that God will save his life. God made him to be a miracle right before our eyes because he had multiple surgeries, a broken jaw, punctured intestines and crack on his skull. And God brought him out from the hospital in a week time!Thank you Jesus! His healing was so rapid it shocked the doctors and anyone who was in doubt that he was'nt going to make it through. So to fast forward after all that God gave me couple more dreams which lead to him breaking up with me this time. I Know when God has is hand of protection around you no matter who tries to harm you, God will protect you them and from your own self destruction. I'm not bitter about the situation, I'm actually relived to know that God prevented me from making one of the biggest mistakes in my life if I had not consulted him first. I still believe in marriage and want to get married one day but this time I'll know what to look out for when the Devil comes with his tricks again. And when God sends my husband I'll know it's from him because it'll be confirmed. As for my ex I really pray that his soul will be saved from damnation because I want the best for him. In life we are not excluded from test, it's how well do in it determines our outcome.Unpublished work © 2018 Kizzy McIntosh
