Restoration

If we're all being honest, I would imagine every marriage has its trials and tribulations..mine is no different.

I recently heard someone say something to the effect of being tired of hearing TV and Radio personalities talk about their troubled PASTS, and noone claiming any troubles NOW.

We all have our troubles, our demons to cast aside. It may sound trite, but a verse that got me through a lot of "junk" was
Romans 8:28 (King James Version)
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

If you believe the bible to be truth and infallible, take heart at this passage, because it doesn't say all thing pleasant, or all things that make you feel good, or even all things free...nope, it says all things.

I want to take a moment to share a wonderful resource for your marriage, if you ever find yourself in my position. It's called    Rejoice Ministries.    They stand for the restoration of marriages, throughout times when one would even biblically get a "get out of jail free card". Their daily devotionals, sent by Charlyne Cares kept me sane and my resolve strong.

If you are in any kind of "dark" place..I ran across this verse today and it physically struck me:
Joel 2:25 (King James Version)   And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten

I'm in that time now. "Locusts" have eaten at my marriage, my health, my husband's spirit, but we are in a restoration period now, and I am grateful.  Nope, it's not perfect. We're not perfect. But we're getting better!

I again say, I am grateful. God is in control, now, then and forever.

Hope this helps someone!
