Married Folk



If anyone would have asked me this time last year if I'd still be married today my answer would have been a heck no for sure. Well maybe a h#ll no. We had divorce papers notaried and our own thought out custody arrangement, so when I say we were thru we both believed it at the time..We tried everything we could first it was the fighting and yelling then we moved onto the silence then couseling then more silence. I think we both reached a point when re relized that WE couldnt do it by ourselves and if our marriage was ever gonna be somethng worth having then it could only be done by God because the two of us were destoying one another slowly but surely. We got used to tearing each other down in subtle ways. Now we are learning to accept compliments and encouragement from one another. A friend told me to pray for god to bring other Christian married couples into our lives and thats exactly whats happening. We pray at least twice a day together and the difference is crystal clear. I feel covered by Gods grace and I wouldnt change that for anything. We still disagree and are far from perfect but we do things out of a love for God. Theres a spiritual maturity taking place and I think I'm starting to like trusting and believing in my husband. He's not perfect but he's mine and God is continuing to do a mighty work in the both of us. All that is to say be encouraged married folk God makes a way when u cant see it as being even possible. Just remember to tell others of the good news. Until next time be encouraged.

Evolving




Tonight around 10pm God put together a group that was made especially for this nite) we went underground to feed the homeless.
Sure I knew they existed but something happened when I saw first hand the amount of young people who were sleeping on the concrete and dumping trash cans so they could use it as a blanket. We gave out food and prayer to all who needed it. The story gets better I found myself doing along side a group of wonderful God loving people. There was no fakness about it there love was real they spoke of God the way I think he should always be referred to. There was a since of comfort that I cant explain all I can tell u is that after tonigth I am forever changed. My life may not be exactly as I planned but I know God has something far greater in the making if I just hold fast to his teachings. I got so much encouragement tonight not just on my consistency with talking to God but not being afraid to proclaim his name. If he's done all that u know he has for you why wont you tell others. Why am I sometimes shy to tell of the things that God has blessed me with. Why do I put "I" when it should be God. I don't just have a job.. God blessed me with a Good job. I don't just have 2 kids. Gods trusted me to raise up children in his word. I have so much to praise God for that I could stand on the roof top and truly proclaim it. But until tonight I felt uncomfortable but that's gone tomorrow is a Bran new day and I look forward to God waking me up. My children spent the night with my parents and I cant wait to kiss and hug them 1st thing in the morning..I am going to share the good works of my God. He is worthy and deserving of our everlasting praise
