♕ Today's Promise: “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and whose trust is the Lord. For he will be like a tree planted by the water, that extends its roots by a stream and will not fear when the heat comes; but its leaves will be green, and it will not be anxious in a year of drought Nor cease to yield fruit." Jeremiah 17:7
Dear Brides, there have been so many things happening in the last few weeks. My Heavenly Husband is working in ways that I could never have imagined. The thing that I have learned over time is that when He does something, we should just stay out of it and let Him do what needs to be done. It may be extremely hard, but you will see the blessings afterward.
If you do interrupt His plan, He will of course still bless you, but you will have settled for less as I learned in my chapter of Poverty Mentality I read.
When my Former Husband returned the children the last time, he told me that well the children asked if they could stay with me for a week and then go back to them for another two weeks.
The Lord is really testing me in this, because this time I was able to say yes immediately because I knew that my Heavenly Husband had it all under control. Later that week I sent an email to my former husband because I was concerned that we are not doing all we can to make sure that our children understand the work and that we are really home-schooling them the correct way. I did not want us to just do the bare minimum because we did not know what the future will hold.
After I sent the email, doubt started gnawing on me. Did I listen to the Lord on this? I went to Him and told Him that if this was not His will to please fix what I did. He reassured me that this was already included in the plan since He has known me from the beginning of the earth.
Well ladies, let me tell you what happened and how exactly He had it! After a few days, always His timing not ours????. Me and my Former Husband had a conversation before which I have not given my Heavenly Husband the glory for yet. Let me first share that conversation so you can know where this comes from.
A week or so before he phoned me and asked my opinion on whether we should send the kids back to school when it opens. I honestly replied that I am not sure they are getting the education they need from me because I, of course, don’t know what I am doing, this is all new to me, but I also don’t feel comfortable sending them back to school especially keeping in mind that we are going into our winter months here in my country. The conclusion I am reaching is that when it comes to choosing between their education and their health, I will of course choose their health and do my best with the education part. If the school is not willing to support us in educating them at home I will opt to take them out of school and home-school them for real.
Now, here is the part that you have to sit down for! First of all, did you see in the previous paragraph that he asked my opinion? Secondly, when I told him my feelings, he agreed!!!!!!!! Do you get the magnitude of what the Lord is doing? Do you see where He is taking us?
This is getting extremely long so maybe I need to pause here and continue next week. Come back next week Friday and find out what miracle happened after I send the email!
I must admit that when writing this Praise Report, I was a little scared to do it now because I did not want the enemy to come in and steal my joy, but He reminded me once again, that this is ALL about HIM and not me and my feelings???? and I should trust in Him like the verse says in:
Jeremiah 17:7 (NASB) “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and whose trust is the Lord. For he will be like a tree planted by the water, that extends its roots by a stream and will not fear when the heat comes; but its leaves will be green, and it will not be anxious in a year of drought Nor cease to yield fruit."
