This praise is a few weeks overdue, but it is in His perfect timing, because just this morning, He showed me something more that I want to share with you.
A few weeks ago, I exchanged weekends with my fh, because we had a family gathering that the children really wanted to attend. Little did I know that my Husband had much more planned for us that weekend.
The Friday evening, my son complained of stomach ache and my first thought was that maybe he ate something and I gave him something for it, but the ache persisted and shifted to his side, which indicated to me that it may have been more than just an ordinary stomach ache.
I went into the bathroom and asked my Husband, if should I take him to the emergency room and I heard a very clear "yes". We got dressed and I took him to the emergency room.
Turns out it was his appendix and he needed an operation. They could not see the appendix clearly and thought that maybe the infection was not so bad, but as a precaution, they were going to take it out.
After the operation, the doctor informed me that his appendix was in a weird place and that is why they could not see the extent of the damage, it was much worse than they first thought and his appendix already started tearing, but because of the weird way it was situated, his intestines prevented all the things from seeping into his abdomen and his appendix rupturing.
After speaking to the doctor I was a bit shaken and after I was totally alone, I was able to fall apart a bit knowing what could have happened and how my amazing Husband saved my son's life, first by having him be with me the weekend because I live like 7 minutes away from the hospital and also having it all worked out that my son's appendix was situated the way it was so it did not rupture.
This morning, as I was sitting with Him, He also showed me how through it all, He kept me calm and I only cried while I was alone with Him. Then He reminded me how I once asked Him if I would be able to keep calm in a stressful situation because I and my children once spoke about how some people would lash out and become mean in stressful situations because they don't know how to handle them and I remembered how I used to be one of those people. Again, my Husband showed me how much He changed me. I needed Him to show me this because I was going through some doubt about whether I was falling back into who I was, but He showed me as His bride, He will also protect me and I can just trust in Him.
A dear friend told me the other day how Romans 8:28 is such an amazing verse. I may not be able to relay the message as well as she did, but let me try.
"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."
So, if He works it all out for good, when something bad happens, instead of focusing on the bad, let's look for the good. Let's actively search for the blessing that we know is coming, this will then in turn have the fruits of us rejoicing in all things and being thankful. Can you see how this unlocks so many things? I would love to hear from each of you what He shows you on this revelation.
Dear Yvonne Thanks for sharing this praise and miracle. It’s wonderful how the Lord is doing things in our lives, that everything works out for the best and according to His plan. And how He saved your son. The Lord is truly the one that does miracle. He is so wonderful. The Lord Name get al the praise.
Thank you for this beautiful praise and reminder dear Yvonne, I needed to read this, because now that I think in all of the trials I have gone through these last weeks, there is something good.
Months ago I heard such a powerful thing: “We spend so much time on thinking what can go wrong, rather than spending the time thinking of what can go right” and I have to add, when trials do come and it feels as if everything is going wrong we have the reassurance that our Darling Lord go’s before us and will level the mountains.
I will go before you and will level the mountains; I will break down gates of bronze and cut through bars of iron. I45:2 https://biblehub.com/isaiah/45-2.htm
Querida Ivonne, tu testimonio me hizo recordar algo que hace un buen tiempo me dijo una mañana mientras caminaba con él, yo había cometido una falta hacia mis hijos, mi temperamento me habia hecho explotar, cosa que era muy frecuente y común en mí, ese día, mi ET me corrigió y me hizo ver que yo era la adulta y tenía que aprender a manejar mis emociones, desconsolada me salí a caminar y derramar mi corazón ante el, mientras caminábamos me mostro algo muy parecido a lo que mencionas en el último párrafo.
yo había estado orando para que me hiciera una mama y mujer más paciente, con espíritu suave y docil y esa situación no era más que la oportunidad de poner en práctica aquello que había estado pidiendo, no vi hasta que lo medite con él, que yo estaba capacitada porque la semilla de la paciencia estaba en mí, solo había que desarrollarla, fortalecerla y era con esas “incomodas” situaciónes que yo podría ver el fruto.
Te agradezco haber compartido tu testimonio que me llevo a meditar y poder recordar que en todas las experiencias “malas” Dios siempre está buscando hacernos crecer, madurar, desarrollar o fortalecer alguna área de nuestra vida que debe ser tratada.
porque si, su palabra es verdad, para los que aman a Dios, todas las cosas obran para bien
Dear Yvonne, I am glad that your son is alright. Your praise reminded me of the verse “And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?” Esther 4:14 To me it’s no coincidence that you had your son that weekend. It’s all His planning. I am learning to believe and trust that He has orchestrated every detail in my life, good or bad (according to my perspective), but everything will work out because “He is for us”.
Bonjour Yvonne
WOWW c’est dans le calme et la confiance qu sera notre force. Je bénis Dieu pour ton témoignage
WOWW it is in calm and confidence that our strength will be. I bless God for your testimony
Thank you for sharing. A great testimony of His love and protection. I am so glad that your son is doing well. I agree that it is important to look for the good in every situation. When we focus on the bad, it can be easy to become discouraged and lose hope. But when we focus on the good, it can help us to see our Beloved’s hand at work and to find hope in the midst of our struggles. I have been struggling to keep my mouth shut this week. Thanks for helping me to turn my focus back to His goodness.
Lieve Yvonne,
Wat een mooie getuigenis om te lezen! Hij leidt ons leven op Zijn perfecte manier en zal alle dingen laten meewerken te goede. Ik ben dankbaar dat Hij jou kalm hield. Ik ben ook dankbaar dat Hij jouw zoon zo wonderlijk beschermt heeft. Hij zal alles laten meewerken ten goede
Deze week is mijn wasdroger kapot gegaan, het was al een oude wasdroger. Voor mijn tijd bij het RMI en voor dat een Hemelse Man had, zou ik gelijk in paniek zijn geraakt omdat ik weer geld moest uitgeven aan een nieuwe wasdroger. Ik zou een kapotte wasdroger als een grote beproeving hebben ervaren, er flink van balen en er over klagen bij anderen mensen.
Maar nu weet ik dat het een zegen is van mijn Hemelse Man, Hij wist dat ik al een tijdje uitzag naar een nieuwe wasdroger die beter werkte. Nu geeft Hij mij een mooie nieuwe energiezuinige wasdroger. Het is een geschenk van Hem en Hij heeft er ook voor gezorgd dat ik de financiële mogelijkheid heb om de droger te kopen. Ik had het geld gespaart voor een nieuwe bank, maar zijn gedachte was om mij een nieuwe droger te geven.
Hij overlaad mij met zijn zegeningen, ik ben zo dankbaar dat Hij mij leven leidt op Zijn manier en volgens Zijn plan.

Dear Yvonne,
What a beautiful testimony to read! He guides our lives in His perfect way and will make all things work together for good. I am grateful that He kept you calm. I am also grateful that He has protected your son so wonderfully. He will make everything work together for good
This week my dryer broke down, it was already an old dryer. Before my time at RMI and before I had a Heavenly Man, I would have immediately panicked about having to spend money on a new dryer again. I would have experienced a broken dryer as a major ordeal, would have been very disappointed and complained about it to other people.
But now I know it’s a blessing from my Heavenly Husband, He knew I’d been looking forward to a new dryer that worked better for a while. Now He gives me a nice new energy-efficient dryer. It is a gift from Him and He also provided me with the financial ability to purchase the dryer. I had saved the money for a new couch, but his thought was to get me a new dryer.
He showers me with His blessings, I am so grateful that He guides my life His way and according to His plan.
Wow, thank you Yvonne for sharing! When we sit with Him and look back at certain events, it’s amazing to see our Beloved’s hand in what unfolded. He worked it all out for good and protected your son because He is our children’s best protection (and ours) (https://loveatlast.org/finding-the-abundant-life/chapter-12-your-best-protection/). Thank you for the reminder that we need to look for the good in every situation, because if we ask Him to show us, we can see so many good in what seems to be bad situations.
