♕ Today's Promise: “Ah Lord GOD! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm! Nothing is too difficult for You!” Jeremiah 32:17
Dear Brides, oftentimes as we are going through this journey we wonder what is the point? Why are we allowing ourselves to go through these hurts, rejections, disappointments, pain and so on repeatedly? We wonder will we ever see the end? This chapter "Whats the Point?"opens up your eyes to exactly see what is the point!
In the 4 years that I have been on this restoration journey, I was waiting and wanting my marriage restored. I wanted my husband home. In order for me to be happy, I was consumed that it all had revolved around my husband coming home and my marriage being restored.
Now that I have grown in my intimacy with my Heavenly Husband, I find myself in a different place. I find that I have had the opportunity to grow in my Heavenly Husband and there for so much more has happened for me. Wanting, living for and needing my Heavenly Husband more has opened up my eyes, my ears, my blessings, my ministry and my finances.
Just this last weekend alone, I have seen this. I went on a trip with my boys to Reno. Being the only driver but worshiping and praising my Heavenly Husband got me to our destination safely and wide awake. But before, we left, my Heavenly Husband blessed me beyond what I could imagine. My mom rented a car for us to take and my Heavenly Husband upgraded the car. My mom gave me money and a gas card for our trip. Before we left my husband gave me a $300 gift card to spend on myself on the trip. And just the day before I was granted 2 opportunities to work from home giving me an extra income. He deserves it all, all the praise, for His glory.
I struggled before my trip because I had no idea how I was going to make it on this trip. Since the holidays just passed and the bills were all paid, I had no idea how I would make this trip with only $200 in my account to get gas the whole trip, plus feed the 3 of us. I also stressed as my car was not suitable to make the 7 1/2 drive but I had no other option. I did not have money for a rental and I had bills I needed to pay but I didn't have the money for that either. But I promised my mother in law that I would take the boys on this trip to see her. As the trip was approaching I was starting to stress out but then I began to pray and said You will have to do it Beloved. My Love, You will work it all out for my good...boy did He!
With this restoration journey, I have had the opportunity to work from home, make more money and have more time and freedom. I am able to be home with my boys and be at every event. I have started to see the blessings and providings of my Beloved. I have not had to rely on my husband for I have a Heavenly Husband that keeps delivering. I never saw this before.
With Him these last 4 years but if I really think about it the last 6 months after finding this ministry, I have seen more than I have the whole time I was "standing." I have tithed the "right" way which I did not know the way it was supposed to be nor was I committed to it.
So what's the point, I have gained more in life and with my Heavenly Husband as I have been His bride than I have so far married. So this journey has been worth every moment.
Dear Brides, this journey leaves us with a lot of questions the whole time we are going through it. We wonder will we ever see that Promised Land? Will our Heavenly Husband really do it for us, like He has for others? Will our questions be answered? Will we ever be free from the pain and all that comes with this restoration journey? Will we ever say that there was good that came out of this journey? The answer lies in the foundations of this chapter/book.
