β Today's Promise: "Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; therefore he will rise up to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!" Isaiah 30:18

I want to praise my HH (Heavenly Husband) for leading me to this ministry. I have been reading the blog and I am truly blessed by the praise reports that are published. I wanted to share what my HH is doing in my life. I read Monday's blog post "Physically Sick at the Possibility" and it was what I needed. I have experienced the same thing, being physically sick at the thought of running into my FH (former husband) and the OW (other woman). I have struggled with the thought that on my daughter's wedding list she has the OW on the guest list and the thought of seeing her there on the big day next year.
When I read the post I was so touched and realized that I wanted what she had, peace and trust in our HH (Heavenly Husband). I reread The Freedom of Letting Go and knew it is what I had to do. I have been on this RJ (restoration journey) for 5 years and I struggled to let go of it all and giving it to my HH. Today I consider it the first day that I have freely given it all to the Lord and I know that whatever He has for me it is to glorify Him. What my HH has for me is what I want no matter what and I will walk with Him on this journey. It hasn't been easy for me to let go but my HH has been very clear to me that this is what I must do.
The Bible story of Abraham and Isaac came to my mind and what my HH (Heavenly Husband) spoke to me was that if I truly love Him I will hand it over to Him and trust Him. I will wait and seek a closer relationship with Him. I'm excited to see how my HH continues to work on me and how much closer we will become. It was hard for me to think that I shouldn't pray for my FH because it held me bondage to my FH and it puts him first and not my HH.
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" 1 John 1:9
Dearest Heavenly Husband, thank you for guiding me and speaking to me. Your Love is more precious than anything and I can't wait to become closer to You on this journey. Forgive me for placing my FH (former husband) ahead of You. Lead me, guide me and help me to Love You more and more. You are all I want and all I need.
