Hello my dear Brides, today I Just Want To Praise my Beloved Heavenly Husband for all the things that He has done for me in the past 3 months.
My daughter and I have been struggling for a while, she is 15 years old and it was kind of hard having a relationship with her at the moment, because with a new baby, with the twins, everything was going on a spiral downward. It was really hard to keep the peace in the house and that was what the enemy was using to destroy us as a family and we allowed that to happen.
I was doing the course and I didn't even pay attention. He was trying to show me, all the things that I was doing wrong at the moment. He tried to warn me a few times and I didn't listen because I was so stuck in all the things that I had to do. I couldn't even listen to His voice, so after I got the baby and I start looking for Him, everything became clear to my mind but the damage was already done and then the unthinkable happened: my daughter decided to leave the house.
We were heartbroken and completely destroyed because we understood that we were doing anything wrong way but she didn't want to have any contact with us and I remember that because she is a teenager and she decided to let everyone know, so even though I try to follow the principles that I learned about being quiet, she made that a little bit hard because she told what happened to everyone around.
So I remembered that even though we cry to the Lord and I pray and I fast, the Lord decided to let me know that it was time for me to let go and it was really hard to let it go because itΒ΄s different when you have a child; something is to let it go to a husband but letting go to a child is harder because you are their authority.
At that point, I decided to trust in the Lord even though all my family and all my friends who knew about the situation tried to convince me to bring her back home obligated which I didn't want to do because I learn here in the ministry that it won't help at all so what I did was trusting the Lord, open my eyes to His word, read the course of restoring your relationships and Trust in His principles of Letting Go.
It was really 3 hard months because people keep telling me all the things that she was doing in the other City, how she was getting hurt, how she was making all these mistakes. I just trusted in the Lord and how He was working in restoring her life and that's exactly what He did.
After a month of being away, she started texting me because she wanted to know my opinion about certain things but I applied what I learn in the ministry. I just gently answered and wait for Him to talk to her because I want her to experience the freedom that she was looking for and that she could have her own experience being outside our house.
I remembered that it was especially hard and thatΒ΄s when I got to the chapter verbal vomiting and we have a really hard situation after I finish reading that chapter, she called me and she said the nastiest things about me and I just remain silent.
My dear brides, I'm just praising the Lord today because after 3 months she came home and she decided to let us know how sorry she was and how much she misses her house, missed her sisters, missed our family. I was so happy and so excited to see that because I obey the principles of Letting Go by doing what the Lord was showing me to do, by changing my mind again, the Lord brought her home. Now we are working again in our relationship in a different manner so I'm just happy to praise Him because He always gives us the wisdom that we've been needing. This is a continuing journey and we need to trust in His word and that He has plans for us, praise the Lord that here we have a lot of resources that will help us not just with marriage but with everything that is happening in our families.
