I've Never Legally Married but found help here. I haven't written a praise report in quite a while and I wanted to Praise to my HH!! He has been so amazing on my journey. He has provided financially for me and my children. He has protected us in so many different areas. I have failed numerous times, yet He continues to forgive me, guide me and teach me. At times I want to give up or I don't understand but He reassures me.
Brides, no matter what circumstance you may be facing, trust Him.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV
My common law husband of 10 years left me and our two sons. On that day I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior. The past few years I was not the best "wife". I held a lot of things against him that he had done to me in the beginning of our relationship. I didn't realize I had never fully forgiven him.
Now I feel those I can encourage the most are the ones who don't know their HH. They have never had a relationship with Him. Those that do not believe or know that God can restore and change any circumstance. After four days of taking Course 1, my thought process had changed. I knew I needed to stop focusing on my circumstances and focus on my walk with My Beloved Husband. I need to be in agreement with His will. I need to walk by faith, not by sight. Even though I have been attacked I need to learn to turn things around. I also need to be more aware of my tongue. Quick to listen, slow to speak. At times it's difficult but with God, I can press through it. He will help me.

Remember, Matthew 7:13-14 tells us to “Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide, and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter by it. For the gate is small, and the way is narrow that leads to life, and few are those who find it.”
And Psalm 100:4 tells us HOW to Enter— “Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name.”
