Harvest of Blessings

I am having a difficult time not jumping up and down and doing a happy dance today.  God has blessed me beyond measure, as always.  He continues to show His love and mercy minute by minute. 

If you have been following my blog, you have probably realized that my marriage was headed south and appeared to be over. My mistakes and struggles pushed my husband away and sent our marriage spiraling into the abyss of doom.

Since September of 2016, I have been praying that God fix my marriage if it was His will.  I prayed that my husband would have a forgiving heart and be more gentle with the way he deals with things.  I prayed that God would make me a better person and, in turn, a better wife.

My faith in God told me that my marriage was going to be okay and that God would use me in a big way even through my mistakes.  God kept whispering to me in His still, small voice to wait on Him and just trust.  So...I did but only through His strength and love. And then...

Well...wait for it.....
Friday, February 10th, 2017, my husband asked me to move back in with him and wants to get our marriage, our lives, back on track. Yay! God has softened his heart and even given him the ability to talk me down off the ledge as I had a bit of meltdown over an issue that is really not even an issue.

God answered my prayers abundantly more than I could ever imagine.  I prayed for restoration but got complete renewal.  My husband and I share thoughts and feelings like we never have before.  The brokenness from my past kept me in hiding and behind walls that hindered me from having the relationship with God that I, truly, desired and from having a full, deep relationship with my husband.  I feel, now, that I can tell God anything and that I can tell my husband anything.

Are things perfect? No, the rest of the family will have a difficult time adjusting but God has proven that He is faithful. If I keep doing right and be obedient to Him, God will bless me abundantly.  I might be a slow learner on some things but knowing God's power and that He keeps His promises, I learned that very quickly. He is amazingly loving and compassionate.

God promises that if we do what is right...if we don't run away from our brokenness but give it to Him, if we don't give into Satan's lies and deceptions, if we don't fail to trust and have faith, if we give God the glory for ALL that He does, we will "reap a harvest of blessing."
"Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit. So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up. Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone—especially to those in the family of faith." Galatians 6:7‭-‬10 NLT

People will think you are crazy as they look at the circumstances you are in.  They will think, and sometimes say, that your storm is too much to survive.  They say and they think these things because they don't TRULY know MY God!!!  I have seen God's faithfulness throughout my life and have no doubt that He gives us His best if we trust and let Him. 

Praise God!!!!
