Let me just be honest, and confess that my dh does not live with us, and hasn't for well over a year now. As of 2009, the Lord has me as a single parent and in charge of the household. NOT complaining and with NO regrets, I am a mother AND a father to my children (by God's wisdom), I keep the bills straight (by the grace of God), and we still have a roof over our heads (again, by the grace AND MERCY of God). I have no other One to give credit to (certainly not myself) but to the Lord Jesus Christ for His sovereignity and will, and for the powerfully sustaining assurance of the promises He keeps in His Word.
If you have read my pages, I hope they were edifying to you. However, things don't always go as we have them planned. Let me just say that I believe God is working, and He WANTS my dh saved and going to heaven. But God works in ways we cannot understand, and it is His will and prerogative to do anything He wants. He is in control! Amen?? This situation is between us and the Lord, but I believe that God will not give us too much to bear, and that prayer is powerful and does work!!
Let me get a little personal here. Even when it seems like we have done all we can do, and we throw up our hands and say, "That's it. I can't take it anymore," my friend, THAT'S when GOD does His miracle-working wonders!! He WANTS us to "let go of the reins," so He can manifest His mighty power in our life! And don't get the silly idea that God wasn't around while you and I were struggling. It was His grace that got you through, and it's by His grace you are where you are now! Amen! He knows EVERYTHING, and can even see way past this fleeting moment in time to eternity future. So how do you know you were alone, or can't continue in the will He has planned for you? How can you assume that all is lost, and you are ready to give up? Don't you believe God is a big God, and He answers big prayers? Just hold on a little longer, and do as you're supposed to do. I hope I am preaching to the choir right now. :-)
Thanks for stopping by. Boy do I appreciate your company. Keep praying for your spouse to be saved. God NEVER goes back on ONE promise He makes. Just do your part, and He will do His. Amen.
Love ya. (((hugs)))
