♕ Today's Promise: “The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.” Psalm 23:1
I'm sure each of you know just exactly how grateful I am for RMI and the 30 Day RYM Journey Course, but let me say a very heartfelt Thank You, anyway. I've learned, I've grieved, I've let go, I've repented, I've gotten confirmation after confirmation, and I've grown. The best thing to come out of this is my restoration with my beloved. I've never in my life heard the expression Heavenly Husband, but I'm so grateful I have now. I have found what my heart was longing for and what has been missing all these years. Thank you Erin for your ministry! Thank you my beloved for your faithfulness, patience, provision, protection, and love. I will love you always.
I feel like coming to RMI was confirmation from God. So many of the principles taught by Erin (God's word) I had already been through, but so many I hadn't either. While I feel like I may have been further along in my journey than some, there is ALWAYS room to learn and grow. After all, it's the living word.
My EH (earthly husband) left me the day before Thanksgiving 2016. Along with him so did my children. Talk about crushed. Not only did I lose my love of 27 years, but I lost my children and grandchildren. We had a very brief time of texting or seeing each other but that came to a halt. One Sunday afternoon, I got a text from him that told me he had a girlfriend and I needed to go on with my life and leave him alone. I freaked and tried to get him to talk to me but he wouldn't pick up the phone. In 2018, he filed for divorce. I had taken my bible to work that day and when I was served papers at work I did not fall apart, all thanks to God. I was still hopeful. I was still standing. I fasted and prayed God would guide me and tell me what to do. God told me to not fight him and to not sign the papers.
In order to help me NOT go, I had an oncology appointment to take my mother to. I didn't want her to be there since she doesn't understand standing for my marriage so I was able to NOT go to court. I was making a statement that I didn't want the divorce, but if he wanted to pursue it, I wouldn't fight it. Confirmation from Erin's teaching. Thank you Jesus I got something right. My FH (former husband) got remarried in 2019. His profession puts him in the local media but for some reason God has hidden that from me. My flesh wants to search for it, but He brought to my remembrance that He hides things to protect us and we don't need to go look for it because it will only bring me pain. I have missed 2 of my children's marriages that I was not invited to and 3 grandchildren's births. Has God ever separated me! Even in the pain or because of the pain I trust in HIM and HIM alone. He gives me the strength to carry on. He gives me the peace that surpasses all understanding. Without Him I couldn't do it. I had "let go" of my EH by not contacting or pursuing him anymore, but I hadn't let him go in my heart and in my mind. Just recently God had me change my passwords because it was a constant reminder of what was. It was absolutely so freeing!
Dear Sister, I want to encourage you to "let go" of your EH (earthly husband) and your marriage. I know this sounds counter-intuitive, but it is NECESSARY. It is also very freeing for you. It's not giving up on your husband or marriage, but it is letting God in to do what He needs to do. Surrender your perceived control.
Let Go...... Surrender every step of the way and fall into His arms. He will be there to catch you every time and the feeling of resting in His arms is quite honestly AMAZING.

Luke 6:38 “Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure—pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return.”
Matthew 6:19–21 “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.”
