God Can Reconcile

This morning, I felt that nudge from God wanting me to write but had no clue what about.  I sat down and this blog just poured out of me.  I know that this is meant for someone out there.  I know you're in a tough situation.  You're at a crossroad and are unsure of what to do.  God sees you.  He is there.  He loves you.  Remember that always.

Marriage is tough.  It's even tougher once you learn your spouse has had an affair.  What do you do?  Do you leave or do you stay and try to work it out?  This question can only be answered by you.  Everyone will give you their advice on what you should do.  But at the end of the day, it's between you and God.  Not you and the world.

It is possible to overcome infidelity in a marriage.  It's hard, but very possible.  If I had been given a choice, I don't think I could have stayed in that marriage.  I wouldn't have been strong enough.  I knew God was releasing me from it all.  God had a different future in mind for me.  So I let go and stopped fighting against Him.

 But for you, God has something so big planned.  You feel it, but can't wrap your brain around the potential of what it could be.  He wants to show you his ability to change the hardest of hearts.  He wants to show you that people can change and that He can do it in an instant.  But mostly, He wants to show you that you do matter.  You are loved.  You are a strong woman.  And it is okay if you stay.

You plead with God for answers.  But, you don't have peace in what you hear.  You don't want to leave your marriage, but how can you stay now?  You tell God, "If it's your will for us to divorce, he is going to have to walk away. Not me".  But he isn't.  He is trying-really hard to restore his relationship with God.  To reconcile the relationship with you.  He really does love you and is wanting to show you that God is changing him.  

You struggle with trusting him again.  You struggle because you can see the changes in him, but you don't want to believe that it's real.  You are afraid he will do it again.  So the wall you put up is getting taller.

In time, you will see.  You can gain trust again at your own pace. It's just going to take time.  Our God is real.  He is alive.  He is working to restore your broken marriage.  Just imagine the potential of what your relationship can be.  It can be reconciled and restored through the grace of God.  Stronger than ever before.  You just have to let go.  Let go and forgive him of his mistakes. Forgiveness doesn't mean that you are saying what he did is okay.  Embrace his changes one at a time.  God is showing you His love through him.

In time, you will see.  God can restore.

Thank You, God, for Making Me a Mom

Looking back on my life, when I was just a small girl, I dreamt of becoming a mother one day. Being a mom was the only thing I wanted to be when I grew up.  I didn't have aspirations to be a doctor or a lawyer or a teacher.  I simply wanted to be a mom.  So today, I am so thankful to my God.  He is the one who allowed my childhood dream of motherhood to come true. I am truly humbled that he picked me to be Cody and Owen's mommy. I come from a lineage of women who set the perfect example of what it is to be a great mom. The love of a mother is endless, as my mom, continues to show me even as I am an adult and have children of my own.   Today is the day we celebrate our moms and all of their hard work.  To show our appreciation to the one who has cared for us and loved us from day one.  As I celebrate my mother and all she continues to do, I am also reflecting upon my God.  What a mighty God we serve.  It's because of His blessings, I am a mom of two.  I am also thi

A Letter to my Boys

Cody and Owen, If I could give you any kind of advice it would be to just live.  Live your lives to the fullest.  Don't be afraid to go on new adventures.  Travel the world.  Don't be afraid to experience new things.  Meet new people.  Try new foods-at least once.  Do not ever be okay with the status quo.  Take risks.  Dream bigger.  When you are told no, don't let it defeat you.  Let it drive you.  Never lose that drive to become better men.  You only get one shot at this life, don't waste a single minute of it. Most importantly though, have a heart that loves God.  Put Him first above all else.  Live a life that honors Him.  He will watch over your coming and going. Because one day, you will leave home to forge your own way in this world.  At times, it will seem big and scary.  He will be your protector.  He will guide you along the paths you are to walk down.  Remember to be still and listen for His voice.  Consult Him on every decision.  No matter how big or

It’s hard to believe that this will be the second Christmas without my boys in it.  But even in their absence, they will still be here in memory and carried throughout the day in my heart.  Ever since this parental alienation journey began, it’s been my goal to still celebrate them and keep up with the traditions I’ve always done; even if they wouldn’t be here to see it.  Their stockings are hung, their picture with Santa has been placed on the top of the piano and their artwork from preschool have been displayed.  All in attempt to keep them alive and present with us all.   Boys, we may not be together, but I am always here.  I pray that your Christmas is filled with unspeakable joy and love as you move into the New Year.  I am praying big things over your lives and future, and I need you to know that you are loved, you are wanted and we will never give up on you.
