But may the God of all grace,
who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus,
after you have suffered a while,
perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.
I Peter 5:10
I serve an awesome God and he heard my plea and heard the prayers of friends and family as we prayed for my marriage. My husband and I have committed to work together to rebuild our marriage and to give it to God in all that we do!
We met last week with our Family Pastor at church and he will be working with us on a weekly basis to help. This has been a very difficult year for both my husband and myself, but I know that with God leading us, we will be able to work through the issues that caused us to separate and that we will be stronger together!
We've already had some "a ha!" moments and it's amazing what God is doing in our relationship. We made the commitment on Tuesday last week and things are so much better . . . good, in fact - not perfect, but good!
The pastor gave us each a book to read before our next meeting and the books are full of great information that I know will help us. I have certainly had my eyes opened to a lot already!
I always wanted our marriage to work, but never knew how very much I wanted it until we reached rock bottom! Many things have transpired during this past eight months while we were separated, but none of it is too big for God. We have both been very open and honest with each other and that provides a security that neither of us felt for a very long time. I have faith that we will, with our Lord's guidance, get through it all!
At church on Sunday, the pastor started a new series on prayer. It seemed like he was speaking to us. We are working together to make our prayer life stronger which will also make us better and stronger.
God is good and it feels great to know that both my husband and I are committed to renewing our marriage and to make it everything that it should be . . . and to glorify God in all things!
In His Love and Blessings

I know seeing things first hand, that it is like night and day. I have been so impressed with both of you! It is obvious that you both want this to work. Keep it up...I'm impressed.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to hear that you are in the process of coming back together with your husband. What a huge answer to prayer. God truly is the God of miracles! Have you had a chance to see FIREPROOF, it is an awesome movie and one worth watching together as a couple. I will be praying that God will heal the broken parts of your marriage and make it stronger and better than it's ever been before.
