Posted by Evelyn McDonald Akinpelu For the update: I have still been networking and have actually left my home to go out to spread the news about Jesus & me. Yesterday, I had planned to visit friends in Marietta but never made it. Instead, I went shopping and as I passed 2 churches who seemed to be having rehearsal, I decided to visit. At both churches I was warmly received and was invited back to sing next Sunday. What a blessing. Tonight, I am singing at my church, First Baptist of Atlanta, under the pastorate of Dr. Charles Stanley. We are a very large ministry that reaches internationally but the feel there is personal. When I was sick, one of our pastors came to sit with my husband, while I was in surgery. I was very touched by this gesture. Each week I meet new people and I am certainly blessed by the anointed teaching of Dr. Stanley. Tonight is the beginning of our Missions Conference and we are having special music, including me. Pray hard for me? I am nervous because it is my first time singing there. I have been a member for a year. Our choir is wonderful but a unique voice like mine just would not fit in. I am claiming this wonderful solo opportunity as a victory for me. I believe that God will bless my work here in Atlanta. I will let you know. I am currently changing my habits. I spend part of each day, in prayer and reflection. Has it worked for me? Yes. I am more at peace, content and ready for God's blessing in my life. I am also dieting and following my doctor's orders strickly. I have lost over 10 pounds and have a long way to go. Am I feeling better? Yes, I am. I have heart disease and recently had a balloon inserted inside of my heart. Although it was a scary procedure for me, it was successful and I avoided a heart attack!!! I was in heart failure and was told that the prompt resonse of my co-worked saved my life. I have left my former job and returned to teaching. This time, I am praying for a full time position. Pray with me? Until next time.

God Bless you, Pastor Fullard. I think of you often and regularly check this board for contact. Where is everybody? I am still in Atlanta and am just coming out of a period of time in my life where I was waiting to hear from God. For a moment, and I do mean a moment, I wasn't sure what was going on. My new husband and I had decided to leave here and to return to Boston. However, God said no. How do I know? Becaue although we had prepared, the move didn't happen. In other times, God spoke to me but not in this move. That was also a sign for me to stay put. Atlanta is the #1 Gospel market in this country and where else would I want to be? I still believe that if something is not broke, don't fix it. God will work it out, in His time.
Gospelly Yours,
Evelyn
