Just after the start of my restoration journey with my Husband, he led me to start writing my story, and although I haven’t looked at it in a long time or continued writing it, my Husband led me this past weekend to start a new story, my Custody Story. Maybe I must combine them at one stage, I don’t know, only He knows and will lead me.
But starting to write my Custody Story, in more detail, brought back so many feelings of what I went through during those couple of months. And looking back I can really and truly see how far He brought me. I can see the lessons He taught me from the many mistakes I made, His grace despite my mistakes, the small victories for His glory and the wisdom I gained from going through something like that.
Looking back, I can see how He carried me through the deepest valleys, how He brought me out of those valleys to green pastures where I found and was drenched in His comfort and peace. The healing He so freely gives. How He lovingly brings us to a place of surrendering to His will and His plan for our lives, while giving us hope and joy that everything will be okay, and more than okay.
I’ve learned how He can bring us out of trails like this into the abundant life that He so desires to give us. There is a beauty in surrendering, a freedom and peace. And going through the deepest trails draws us so much closer to Him, and allows us to see His heart for us, His love for us.
I am so blessed that He chose me to go through this trail, even if it is a trail that would break many, but holding on to Him and remaining in Him, choosing to walk this journey with Him makes it a once in a lifetime experience, a journey to be cherished.
Wow, Adina! Your Praise Report is fantastic!!!
It made me think of my own restoration journey and how many stages I’ve been through with my Beloved HH.
He has also been speaking to my heart to write parts of our journey as a novel with chapters and I believe your PR my dear is a confirmation from Him!!
Really, looking back, we see how many trials we went through but He was always by our side, strengthening us and transforming us into His bride. Each journey is wonderfully unique and I’m so grateful for each season I’ve spent with Him and looking forward to where He still wants to take me 🙂
I agree with you Adina, this journey is to be cherished! I look back sometimes at my old journals and notes and I can see that He has carried me through so much. He held me up and brought me to a place of resting in Him when I thought my life was over and hopeless. He brought me to a place of surrender and it’s so beautiful that He loves us that much! I still keep learning so much daily through all our resources but most importantly pressing in to Him and the relationship that my Husband wants to have with me. He always reveals new things to me. My life will never be the same and I will keep holding onto my Beloved 💕
