I am lying on a blanket outside, my legs in the sun and my upper body in a patch of shade. My son is playing in a heap of sand a couple of steps away. I am busy working on my laptop doing my work which I absolutely love and enjoy which is ministering to the hurting women through His leading and guidance.
The reason I am typing this Praise Report is that as I lay here with a bit of a lovely breeze blowing on in my face I am realising just how blessed I am to be able to be at home with my 3 yr old Restoration baby working outside while he plays.
Ladies this is ONLY due to the best decision I ever made which is the decision to follow Him, He who has become my Beloved, my HH. The day my marriage struggles started I did not know that there was a greater purpose, a better life, an easier life. I learnt something from A Wise Women I have come to know and not until I started applying it did I really understand although I knew the verse very well:
Matthew 11:28-30 NIV “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
No matter what we are doing He makes it easy and light! 🙂
So I learnt in everything that I do if I give it to Him expecting His help and guidance that He will make it easy and light for me.
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.
This is another one I love...when I don’t understand why something is happening or why changes or circumstances are happening.
Ladies especially those who have newly come to this ministry and those who are still traveling this journey I want you to know I was there, I know what it feels like to be broken, hurt, having many, many questions, asking Him why?
Today He has given me an Abundant Life and I have the assurance of knowing whatever struggles I go through He is there to help me. At the moment I am struggling with my health and I need to change my eating habits and lose weight.
Today I need to acknowledge this struggle and know that I need to lean not on my own understanding and that He will take this burden and make it easy and light if I just put my trust in Him. He will take care of me and teach me and guide me and just like He used my marriage struggles as a testimony to His greatness He will use these struggles I am experiencing with my health for His glory as well.
So today I want to thank my Beloved, my HH, my Everything because without Him I don’t know how I would face the struggles and trials He gives me to face. I have learnt that He allows these struggles to come so that I can lean deeper into Him, so that I can experience more of His love. Experience more of Him through His help and leading and guidance. I have now learnt that I can embrace these struggles because He is here with me. I can lean not on my own understanding He will make this burden easy and light!
I love you dear Love thank you for this struggle I face today because it makes me seek you. I Praise you for this struggle you are GOOD. This weakness makes me draw closer to You.
Matthew 11:28-30 NIV “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
No matter what we are doing He makes it easy and light! 🙂

Dear Partners, I want to specifically tell you about what I experience daily as I minister. It is amazing to watch the changes our students undergo, like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon. I am sure you can relate to this image. It gives me great joy to see how our wonderful HH metamorphosis our students. By doing the Lessons, our students eventually emerge from their pupa or cocoon. The cocoon I will describe as the stage of separation, divorce, hurt, trials, bitterness, shame and betrayal each student is facing to emerge from their chrysalis where they were once a caterpillar into a butterfly!! That’s when they become radiant!! :))
Psalm 34:5 “They looked to Him, and were radiant. Their faces shall never be covered with shame.”
Doing the Lessons truly makes a difference! Personally, I did the lessons and completed the Daily Lesson form after each and it truly changes you like a butterfly going through its Life Stages.
I am amazed 🙂 Our students start to understand through the Word of God why they are going through their trial, which leads to peace and later on to joy—which flows through their hearts like a river! What we teach our students over and over again is to Seek the Lord for His wisdom and guidance so that they can begin to experience His LOVE, which is better than anything we can offer!
Thank You Partners, it is due to your giving that hurting women are able to receive this gift freely!!
Briefly What’s New
I am immensely grateful to tell you Partners that I will be focusing more intensely on the Journey that each of our Brides / our Students are taking. By becoming more involved with the admin and updating of Lessons, it really helps me to minister more effectively and encourage our students to become His brides.
