♕ Today's Promise: "I will rejoice greatly in the Lord, My soul will exult in my God; For He has clothed me with garments of salvation, He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. For as the earth brings forth its sprouts, and as a garden causes the things sown in it to spring up, so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring up before all the nations" Isaiah: 61:7-11

Well I feel as though there are more hurdles than just this HUGE one, but as Erin says it is a journey. I had only heard the term Heavenly Husband about a year ago from a friend who has had a restored marriage for many years. But I could not wrap my head around it and I was still pursuing my EH (earthly husband) as I thought would bring him back like all the other times.
Thankfully looking back over these last 17 months I am SO thankful the LORD did not restore in my desperation and manipulation tactics. I needed the LORD, I needed my HH (Heavenly Husband) so desperately, so intimately and its coming along as I fully let go, which is a process as well. It has taken a couple of months and repenting every time I put my marriage or my EH back on the throne.
I have started to say Lord you are all I need, you are all I want and your are all I live for instead. I cannot explain in words how whole and healed and at peace I feel. People say to me that I seem so different, My mother in law actually said it's remarkable the change. It is wonderful to hear what only my HH can do.
I have juts recently started to call Him my darling, which is very strange for me, but its lovely and endearing and flows off my tongue. He provides for me better than any EH (earthly husband). In every way. When we were first separated I was frozen in fear, how was I going to make it as my EH basically did everything.. I was terrified at the thought of growing old alone. Through RYM and LETTING GO and allowing my HH (Heavenly Husband) to care for all my needs its been AMAZING!!
I have no fear only peace. Financially I have been blessed, just recently money that was owed to me came back and a flight credit that I waited two years for finally reimbursed!!! And He continues to give me wisdom!! I had a trip booked to the coast and would have been on a plane yesterday and just last week they had massive mud slides, breaking highways and killing many people!! The LORD told me many months ago to cancel and so I did and booked a silent retreat in the mountains only a few hours away from home (my honeymoon) with Him which only a few months ago I did not know what honeymooning with the LORD meant.
It is so healing, when I was with my EH I never left home, I was too needy. This has been so healing and freeing to just be with the LORD!!
Dear Bride,
I can only share with you what I have been through. I needed all last year to be broken and I needed to get free from the yoke of sin, and bondage myself (addiction) and thankfully I am now, and I can now fight in the spirit for my restoration with my HH (Heavenly Husband). It has been a journey. I completely understand now when Erin says that; not letting go is like an addiction. It certainly was for me and it destroyed my soul. I have never felt so loved in all my life and not by any EH!! Let go and recite the words, for He wants to cuddle you, embrace you, and talk with you. He loves us so much our minds and hearts will never comprehend how much.. I will forever praise Him and thank Him.
Lord, you’re all I want.
Lord, you’re all I need.
Lord, you’re all I live for.
