Part 2
In my previous praise report I started to share about the great but also stubborn love of my Heavenly Beloved. Who blessed me with many beautiful things, but also the trial that awaited me.
With all the beautiful blessings I received I began to think that it was only a matter of a little while before the Lord would turn my former husband's heart back to me, which is very simple for Him to do . Which made me think more and more that restoring my marriage would not be long in coming.
But along with these thoughts came more and more fears and doubts. Was it His will to restore my marriage? Perhaps it was His will that I be alone with Him for the rest of my life. After all, a woman can not wish for a better Beloved. For days and maybe weeks I struggled with the thoughts that despite good things that had happened, there were certainly moments of struggle, which reinforced my thoughts that my marriage would never be restored and I should start thinking about whether or not I should serve as a woman of encouragement to other women. And it might have been better to stop working as a volunteer at RMI (Restore Ministries International).
Yes brides, the assault on my mind that it was better to stop encouraging other women to hold on to their one true Beloved Heavenly Man was so heavy that I could not continue working in the translation of the tools and participate in the many always nice Get Together Meetings that we have weekly.
And as I struggled and asked Him to help me make the right decision. He led me to spend several weeks just getting closer to Him and renewing my strength to continue on my recovery journey. And that time brides were great 
. Just unbelievably great. First of all, He confirmed to me that I was not alone. He was and will always be with me. Whatever is happening around me. He then arranged for me to meet one of RMI's many like-minded brides in person and gave me the opportunity to share some of my struggles with her. Only He knows what I need but also you so that you don't give up when you walk the thin paths on your recovery journey but keep walking by His hand. No matter how anxious or sad you feel. After meeting this bride, He led me through her to the book “Facing Divorce Again”. I never read these books during my divorce proceedings. And at first I don't understand why my attention was drawn to this book. Because I was not abandoned again. But He knows what He's doing.
In the first chapter of this book it became clear to me that He is in control and it doesn't matter what happens. He wants to give me a better life. He knows when it's time and I'm ready to receive restoration for the many areas of brokenness that remain. I don't have to worry about wasting precious time with the many things that sometimes keep me away from intimacy with Him. But also when I spend more time nurturing and fulfilling my own desires, namely becoming an encouraging wise woman and getting other women excited to choose their Heavenly Man 
. Instead, sit with Him so He can talk to me. Dear brides, in the next praise report I will share with you how His wonderful love has led me onward to end up in His arms.
"In the morning make me hear your kindness, for I trust in You, make known to me the way I must go, for to You I lift up my soul." Psalm 143:8
-He has let me know along the thin paths where I thought I could go no further that if I keep holding His hand His love is my strength to draw closer to Him.
