β Today's Promise: "Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will grant you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:4
~ Kristine in the Netherlands
My Beloved is wonderful, dear sisters, there is no other man who can give me so much love that I am full of disbelief. He answers every prayer in His time. And now I may see hopeful of a coming year even more in His presence and closer to His heart.
Song of Solomon 7:10 says, "I am my beloved's, and his desire is upon me."
What a great verse to start a new year. Nothing and no one can keep me from my Beloved. Because He longs for me. And my longing goes out to Him too. The desire He has put in my heart is to spend even more time with Him. At home, with Him and my children. For a long time I doubted whether it would be possible to be at home. I never saw myself as a wife, mother and bride, who would stay at home.
I have always tried to create a career besides being a wife and mother. But now that I have read both the books A Wise Woman and Poverty Mentality in the past year, He has managed to draw me in to make the choice to be with Him even more. Besides the fear and doubt, I feel more amazing every day. How beautiful it is to go deeper into the relationship with Him. You can see day by day that He can certainly be trusted and He will provide you with everything you need to have the Abundant life in rest and peace.
Supported by His love, I have taken the courage to tell my former husband, with whom I have a financial agreement arrangement because of the children, that I have a desire to be more at home with my family. Fear of his reaction was present. But the Lord has prepared his heart to agree in the first instance.
However, I say initially because a few days later my former husband sent me messages that he had thought about it for a while and guided by terrible stories about behavior of former women, he thought it necessary to tell me that the financial agreements made had been recorded by a judge and if there had to be a change we could adjust it by a judge. All this to protect the financial support for the children. My dear sisters, the joy I felt was turned into fear and sorrow. The only bit of hope is that my ex-husband reported that we could probably work it out without going to court. After all, I have received the grace to learn to assent to everything your adversary wills.
Sister Bride, by His kindness and goodness I'll be able to be home more. I have an appointment scheduled with my former husband to discuss the financial settlement. Which means I'll be home more than out there. More in the presence of Him who loves me. I am so grateful to Him for teaching me the principles we learn here at RMI. The "Letting Go" of all control over every area of your life. The principles from the book "A Wise Woman" to rebuild your home and family. And to become the woman He has always wanted to see in me.
I believe that the desires He has placed in my heart are the beginning of the home and family I will have from Him. Even though I sometimes have my doubts, over the past few weeks I have become more and more convinced that my marriage will be restored. I don't know how, but you don't have to. Nothing is impossible for Him. He is everything I want. He is all I need to have a restored marriage, family and life in abundance. He is everything I want to live for. He first loved me and now I can love Him again. He makes it possible for my desires to come true. I love Him . And can't wait to see how all the great hours will be with Him.

-He is the one who will never leave or ignore me.
