♕ Today's Promise: "If the Lord had not been my help, my soul would have dwelt almost in silence. If I thought, My foot falters, Thy loving-kindness upheld me, O Lord. In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy consolations refreshed my soul." Psalm 94:17-19
~ Kristine in the Netherlands
Dear brides, the smile on my face, the peace that I can experience more and more often and faster after I have shared my worrisome thoughts with Him. The joy I feel in my heart I owe all to my Beloved. Time and again He shows me again and again that He is the Only One I need in my life, during the day. He is the True Rock on which I can build my life. Faithfulness to His Word is real. Because I can testify to that and I'll tell you why.
This past week was probably the toughest week I've ever experienced in my journey. There are a few things I can still really worry about. Worrying in the sense of how when and if I'm ready to go through that ordeal. Despite I know that God has begun the good work in me and in my family for Restoration of my family. I can rejoice in trials. I struggle over perhaps when I will meet or be introduced to the other woman. Until now God has faithfully shown me His protection. And the kids don't talk about her or ask questions either. When they are with me.
But as I said last week was the toughest week. Because my mother told me she was introduced to the other woman. She was shocked she said and couldn't believe that my former husband had found another one so quickly.
Dear Bride, It is certainly not without reason that I have come here to RMI. My former husband and I have done everything from conversations with pastors, psychologists, relatives and friends. And none of them have been able to help us. But when I read the book How God Can and Will Change Your Marriage 
I knew I had found what was needed to restore my family. The first verses I quickly knew by heart were Mark 10:27 "Jesus looked at them and said, With men this is impossible, but not with God." AND Psalm 112:7 "He (she) shall not fear an evil report, his heart is at ease, trusting in the Lord."
So while my mother was sharing her surprise and shock with me, I could look at her smiling and calm and answer her nod without a pounding heart that I had heard what she had shared.
The first two days after hearing what my mother had been through. I still had peace in my heart. The third day, I felt an anger, deep sadness and disappointment as well as misunderstanding and disrespect for what my former husband had done. I didn't know I could still feel so angry about something I find very disrespectful. And I must confess that I thought for a moment to give up. Indignantly, I gave Him all the reasons why I would not want to continue on this journey.
After I finished crying. I felt the peace and He made me lovingly remember the many Marriage Restore Testimonials from women who have experienced much worse situations. And for each one He has done what He has promised. Why wouldn't He do that for me too? After Re-reading some WOTT (word of their testimony) He lead me to Psalms 94:17-19 "If the Lord had not been my help, my soul would have dwelt almost in silence. If I thought, My foot falters, Thy loving-kindness upheld me, O Lord. In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy consolations refreshed my soul."
Dear Bride, I would like to encourage you to turn to Him when you are struggling. Shout out to Him. Ask Him to comfort you with His loving Word. And praise Him for the trials in your life. I can say even more now I love Him 
He is all I need. For after the ordeal you will see what transformation you have received. 
"If the Lord had not been my help, my soul would have dwelt almost in silence. If I thought, My foot falters, Thy loving-kindness upheld me, O Lord. In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy consolations refreshed my soul." Psalm 94:17-19
-if He hadn't answered my prayer so many years ago. Then wax may have descended into the quarry. His kindness and love carries me every day.
