♕Today's Promise: “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” Matthew 6:33
Danita, how did your Restoration Journey actually begin?
My restoration began a few months ago. I was a very contentious, rude, quarrelsome woman. I got to the point of telling Terrence to leave. I was on the wrong track. One day I saw that Terrence was chatting with another woman. I lost control. A few days passed and Terrence told me that he no longer loved me and that he was leaving home. I felt like my world completely shut down. I didn't know what to do.
From that moment on, I clung to God and I watched a restoration video. I stayed away from all family and friends. I quit my job and I started praying and going to church to feed on God’s word from my Heavenly Father. I prayed constantly. I did not and I still do not want to detach myself from the arms of my Heavenly Beloved who began to instruct me and teach me.The more it hurt the more I yearned to be close to my Heavenly Beloved. There I began to see and realize that it was not about the restoration of my marriage but the restoration of my heart. My Beloved taught me that I had to humble myself before him and he taught me to forgive and understand that he took Terrence away from me for a purpose. I clung more and more to my Heavenly Father. A month passed and I began to learn what it was to let go.
My Heavenly Beloved who rescued me did not want this pain but he 
with his infinite love took me in his arms and made me rest, hours passed and I cried and asked my Heavenly Beloved to not let me go. I constantly asked him and every time I told my Beloved to teach me to let go of Terrence because this was hurting me more.
I focused on the restoration of my heart and every time I felt that Terrence was coming to my mind I told my Beloved to teach me to let go. I prayed more than 3 times a day. I just wanted to be with my Beloved. He gave me strength I went to church and I felt confused and I told him one day in prayer, Father tell me what to do, talk to me. One sunday I went to church and God sent his Spirit Holy to the pastor where he told me. ....don't move from the place where I planted you, there my tears stopped and I didn't understand why but they fell as the days passed. And I clung closer to my Beloved and in my prayer I told him to remove that heart of loss for Terrence and to put one of flesh. And as the days passed God heard me.
How did God change your situation, Danita, as you sought Him wholeheartedly?
My Beloved taught me many things. That he loved me for himself and that I had to change certain things that were not right in me. I gave myself to him from my heart and each time I felt more like I did not feel like crying. I said my Beloved, do not go away I love you in my life. I thought my Beloved left me but he was always and is always with me. Many things changed my character. He taught me to forgive Terrence, taught me to treat him with love even though I felt hurt. I learned that my struggle was not earthly but spiritual but before that he needed to remove everything bad from my heart to start working. I clung more to my God and only he could do it. I live for him who gives me strength. My Heavenly Beloved to him be all the Glory and Honor. I forgave Terrence and I released him. I learned to take captive every thought that wants to rise against the knowledge of my Heavenly Lord.
What principles, from God's Word (or through our resources), did the Lord teach you during this trial, Danita?
Hold on to my Heavenly Beloved to study his word and hold on to each beautiful pearl that he gave me in his promises. I went to Facebook and saw a sister who in her post mentioned “How God can and will restore your marriage”. I thanked my Beloved because he allowed me to find it. She admitted me into their group and I began to have days and nights of prayer with them. It helped me because whenever they spoke it was through the word of my Heavenly Beloved.
What were the most difficult times that God helped you through, Danita?
When I saw a photo of Terrence when he left home. God sustained me at all times and every time Terrence walked away, my Heavenly Beloved drew me closer to him
Danita, what was the “turning point” of your restoration?
Praise be to my Heavenly Beloved, he removed that heart of stone that Terrence had and put in a heart of flesh. Terrence began to tell me that he would come home, he began to hug me and told me that I look pretty and that he likes the changes he sees in me.
Tell us HOW it happened, Danita? Did Terrence just walk in the front door? Danita, did you suspect or could you tell you were close to being restored?
Glory to my Heavenly Beloved Terrence took the first step to repentance, he apologized and told me that he loved me. My Heavenly Beloved told me that very soon he will be home. I can only give it to my Beloved he has control. We started as friends and now that he told me that he loves me, my love of my youth has told me and he owes everything to my Heavenly Beloved. I am just waiting on the Beautiful Promise that he gave me.
