♕ Today’s Promise: Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!" Ps107:8
My EH was determined to come and tell our daughter that he no longer wanted to be in this marriage. He already made this known to me but decided that he wants to tell our daughter in person. My daughter does not know that her father wants to divorce me. All she knows is that he's decided to come off the straight and narrow path. In response, my daughter and I began praying, asking God to only allow my husband to come when his relationship with his Heavenly Father is restored. He purchased his ticket but didn’t tell our daughter until a week before his flight. I already knew he was coming since we still shared a joint account, I was nervous about his arrival because I wanted only God's character to shine through me. His flight was scheduled for Saturday evening, and he was to arrive Sunday morning.
On Friday evening, my heart was heavy, so I prayed Jesus' prayer in Gethsemane from Matthew, Mark and Luke, pouring out my heart to God in tears. I told God that if He allowed my husband to come, it would only mean He had another plan.
Then, on Saturday evening, while I was on a call, my daughter came into the room and said, "I don’t know if this is good thing or a bad thing or how you will feel about this, but Daddy is not coming. He was on his way to the airport and couldn’t find his passport, so he turned back to get it, but still couldn’t find it." I immediately dropped to my knees and thanked the Lord for answering my prayer and showing me how real He is.
My journey is far from over but God is showing me that if I keep following His principles He will continue to work for me.
Thank You, Lord.
Précieuse Mireille, c’est tellement merveilleux de voir comment Il exauce nos prières lorsque nous marchons dans Sa volonté. Tout comme toi, mon voyage n’est pas encore terminé, mais chaque jour m’apporte un peu plus de lumière et de paix.
Precious Mireille, it is so wonderful to see how He answers our prayers when we walk in His will. Just like you, my journey is not over yet, but each day brings me a little more light and peace.
Hi Kateleen,
Thank you for your response. Oh, it is truly wonderful to see God move. Oh how He is constantly showing me to let go and let Him lead. May God continue to sustain you through your journey.
I have a French name and took a French course in college but sadly, I don’t speak French 😔. I will go back to studying it one day.
My dear Mireille,
Do not be discouraged about learning French. 🇫🇷 I attend fellowship almost every Sunday with Yvonne, Janine, and Adina from South Africa 🇿🇦, and sometimes I had difficulties understanding, but I stayed anyway.
Then, there was Hope from the United States 🇺🇸, and it became even more complicated because, where I live, we speak British English 🇬🇧. I assure you, I was really bad at languages, but attending these fellowships helped me improve my English.
During one session with Yvonne, I was able to share a worship song with the other wives without fear. Even better, last week, with Adina, we talked for about thirty minutes! It helped me understand and even speak, and even though it’s not perfect, I can at least understand what the ladies are saying.
I invite you to visit the blog “Aide Maritale” or even join French fellowship sessions. God knows the desires of your heart, and He will help you on this beautiful journey of learning. 🙏✨

Thank you for your testimony, dear Mireille.🌼 Reading your report, I remembered how He also prepared me for so many situations that I had to go through! And I remembered this promise that I engraved in my heart and that I used many times a day: “You will not be afraid of bad news, my heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord! S1127

And that is what you report, He is in control of everything, and it is up to us to thank Him and keep our eyes fixed on Him!!
Praise Him! Isn’t God wonderful?!? ❤️ Thank you for sharing that verse. My motto as always been ONLY GOD. He surely is making it real to me that it’s truly ONLY GOD.
Mireille this is so wonderful to see how He always shows up for us and how He gives answers to our requests, I am amazed!!! Thank you for sharing, your testimony is a blessing to me today, it´s a faith builder testimony a chapter in your journey that is not only yours but for your daughter, she is been a firsthand withness of her HF works in both her and your life.
Jewel, I praise God that my testimony uplifted you. I was wavering about posting my testimony but I am glad God spoke loud enough for me to hear Him and post it. It sure is a faith builder. I know for a fact that one of the blessings this journey has given me is seeing the dire need to teach my daughter how to find her relationship with God. She was truly amazed to see God work in such a way.

Dear Mireille, when I read your testimony, I remembered when I went through the same situation, and how my
Beloved Lord took me to that same
Passage, the prayer of Gethsemane, for me it was a preparation and a surrender to my will for His, in my heart I knew it was going to happen, but what I prayed was for Him to take care of the hearts of my little ones with the news and as He did with you, He did it with me too. He was very good in answering my prayer.
Your testimony made me remember His faithfulness and also how only those things happen that He already chose and predestined in advance for each one of us, this reminds me how important it is to pray as the spirit guides you and not according to your desires or will.
I thank you so much for sharing this today, because it is one more of those blessings that today I can name one by one that He did in my life and looking back it was His hand covering our children. Everything, absolutely everything, is part of His plan and nothing will escape Him. We can trust that when we pray according to His will, we are going in the right direction, and His purposes are fulfilled.
Thank you, darling, for sharing this with us!
All praise and glory to the one who takes care of us and His children.
Dear Kathleen, thank you for your encouragement. It is only God that pushed me to post my testimony.
I praise Him for what He’s done and continuing to do in your life. My parents went through a divorce when I was a teenager and I remember how detrimental it was and was the beginning of a life of bad choices until I truly met my Heavenly Father.
Praise be to Him indeed!
I am so grateful to hear about how the Lord has worked in your life and answered your prayers! He is faithful.
Hope D Andrews, isn’t God wonderful?!? It’s so nice to finally live a life through His word. He truly is faithful to His children.
Wow!! How encouraging is your testimony!! I am so grateful that you share it, it has brought a big smile to my face to meet with You (and once again) the Husband who attends and answers prayers, I can see His mercy and grace in this situation, how beautiful it is!!!
“My God, attend to my prayer, pay attention to my supplications! When I am in distress, I call to you and you answer me. My God, there is no God among all the gods like you, who does what you do. All the nations that you made will come to worship you and praise you. Only you are awesome! Only you do great wonders!” S86610
Hi Anastasia,
Praise Him! I am glad it made you smile. It is so amazing to see God work when we take Him at His word and I am enjoying the journey.
