♕ Today's Promise: "Therefore the LORD longs to be gracious to you, and therefore He WAITS on high to have compassion on you For the LORD is a God of justice; How blessed are all those who long for Him" Isaiah 30:18
~ Winnie in Kenya
I want to sincerely thank RMI partners for the free courses that lasted for the last 30 days. I'm not the same person, I'm not the same broken person like when I started the courses. What I know is that for sure I'm not the same controlling, clingy, and big mouth who started journaling 30 days ago. I'm now able to control myself, I'm able to do things without questioning or mumbling. I no longer go to my partner for my needs instead I talk to my Love and not once has He failed to provide for my needs. I have learned never to talk to anyone about my situation but talk to my Love alone who is always right beside me. I stopped talking and being all-knowing and I'm learning to listen more and talk less. I'm learning to be humble (still struggling with pride especially with my attitude towards my partner) but this is the area I'm praying a lot for God to help me to have a humble spirit. Learning to have a gentle and a quiet spirit. This principle is what I'm struggling with a bit. I have no problem with being quiet because I take all my worries to my Love but being gentle, I'm not sure I have grasped this idea fully. But my Heavenly Husband is faithful and He will teach me and show me how to be gentle and more patient with people. I stopped hanging around with friends and most of my time I spend in the house with the kids and my HH (Heavenly Husband).
I'm certainly not perfect but I'm DEFINITELY not as I used to be. Most of my days have lately been filled with peace and I do not worry a lot about my needs like I used to. I still worry a little sometimes but I'm learning to remind myself all the time Heavenly Husband has provided and the worry fades away. With this short time I have started the courses I have seen a lot of changes in me and in even how my partner treats me when he is around. There so much peace in our home and I can clearly see that he isn't trying to get away anymore because I set him free. No more questions, I only talk when he does, I don't go to him for my needs, I don't ask where he is or what he is up to, I'm no longer intimate with him because I want to honor God and my HH.
I would definitely recommend How God Can and Will Restore Your Marriage book. Guys you start this course extremely broken and wanting desperately for your marriage to be restored. Then as you progress with the courses you slowly realize that: You don't even need your husband as bad as you thought. That it's you who needs a lot of changing, more than even your husband. That what you have been longing for all this while has been your Heavenly Husband and not your husband, which is just the game changer. I would recommend WOTT [By the Word of Their Testimony] because it gives you hope and strength not to give up when you get weary and when sometimes things get or are hard. It will help you to trust more on God because if He did it for them, then He will also do it for us, no matter how hopeless our situations are.
When I came to RMI I was living with (still living with him) my partner and was doing all the wrong things. Due to my clinginess and controlling behavior which he complained a lot about, it was like he was really trying to get his freedom which he needs as a man. Since he wasn't getting it, it forced him to devise ways like: not being honest, being unfaithful which I now know that it was as a result of me being unfaithful to my HH (Heavenly Husband), and a lot of things that I found out due to my snooping. When I discovered these things I confronted him by sending him away, but when he came home later that evening I didn't talk to him about the situation anymore and I have never brought it up thanks to RMI. I never treated him with the respect he deserves and with kindness. Hence forced him to treat me the same way. Our relationship was not founded on the rock and we were living in sin (being intimate) since we are not legally married. We still live together because I have kids with him but I'm applying the principles I have learned e.g. intimacy when not legally married, gentle and quiet spirit, winning without a word, kindness, letting go and many more.
Thank you Lord for bringing me to RMI. I knew deep down in my heart that the life I was living is not what You had for me. I had a desire of wanting to be legally married but did all the wrong things by trying to improvise ways on how to convince my partner to have us legally married which only resulted to him hardening his heart more. Now I know that I need to let my partner go and make You first in my life and in my heart and allow Your will to be done.
I want to encourage you to apply every principle you will read in this book [How God Can and Will Restore Your Marriage]. Many of us come to RMI thinking that it's our husbands who needs to change and desperately wanting our marriages to be restored. Then Boom! As you read through the courses we all realize that it's us who need a lot of changing because the Lord starts revealing to us who we really were and probably not the Godly woman He created us to be. We come desperately wanting our marriages restored because we think we cannot live without our spouses then when we start knowing the Lord intimately, and we slowly realize that it is not our husbands, but the Lord who we really need. I want to encourage you that we all came to RMI broken with no hope to live, but our good Lord has healed us and taken all the pain away and taught us to see our husbands/partners as He sees them. He will also heal you, restore all that the enemy has and had stolen from you. It will surely be better than you imagined.

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:19–21
