Praise the Lord! This is my first report of praise, and I am so excited that this day has come and I can finally share what the Lord has done in my two years of my restoration journey.
Recently, my Beloved took me for a walk to a beautiful place that I love. He knows the desires and needs of my heart perfectly well. For several days I had a terrible "mess" in my head and I started to focus on mundane matters (I think this is the result of the beginning of the school year, return to duties and mother's concerns). It is also not a coincidence, because exactly one year ago I was with Him in exactly the same place. And exactly in the same place - we were together two years ago (I didn't know then that I wasn't going that way alone;)
During our walk together, my Heavenly Husband guided me to look back. I saw myself clearly and my thoughts, goals, desires and behaviors from then. Two years ago, I was completely devastated by the departure of my ex-husband and the discovery of the other woman. I was saturated with regret and bitterness. The desire for revenge was then intertwined with disbelief and a great deal of grudge against my earthly husband, myself, the world, other woman and ... God. He was just slowly getting me ready.
Two years ago, however, I was just before my divorce. For 6 months I had known and applied the principles learned in RMI (Restore Ministries International). My divorce case was due in a few days, and I had fired the best lawyer in town. I was as humanly scared as it would be, but already then I knew that I had to be completely obedient and the only one who would bring me out of it is my Lord.
Hope returned to me and the Lord breathed a New Life into me. Of course, I hoped that the divorce would not go through, and all I thought about at that time was my earthly husband's return home. But that was not yet His appointed time! And praise the Lord!!! For now I was going there with Him - with my Beloved - as His bride only. My thoughts oscillated around Him and I only wanted His will. My heart leapt with joy hidden in Him, and at the same time at peace.
For several months my life has been a fairy tale, a dream, a utopia ... How much work has been done in me. How much power has been invested in me. How great force guided me. What a miracle happened, a completely new woman has been walking the same path. Seemingly alone, but not lonely. Strong not with her ego and feminism, but hoping only in Him. Confident in His promises. Smiling and calm. I was walking along the shore of the lake and He was everywhere and in everything. In every breeze and in every leaf ... Thank you, my Beloved, for your grace.
