Day 4

I have been surrounded this entire time of trial by amazing women! Amazing doesn't really even begin to describe them, but that at least gives you a clue as to how blessed I have been to be associated with such powerfully spiritual people.

Yesterday my nurturing took place at my weekly Bible study. We are doing The Truth Project, which in itself is a once a week nurturing for my soul, and I am quite sure will appear here once again. The nurturing had nothing to do with our current study though. One of the lady's Mother in laws was visiting from Florida. I was introduced and then headed downstairs to watch this week's video. MIL joined us. I shared the story of my Christmas prayers being answered. You see over Christmas I changed the prayers I had been praying. I prayed specifically for God to take away my romantic love for my husband. I just couldn't deal with it anymore. The heartbreak was killing me. I pleaded with him to once again carry my burden and in all of his grace, he did exactly that. He took my broken heart and began healing it. By the time we arrived home and I saw my husband, I realized I no longer had the want and desire to be loved, touched, etc by him. He answered my prayer just like that. I still love him as a Christian and also as the father of my children, but not in that romantic way. Blessed once again!

So back to yesterday....I shared this testimony with my group. As I was leaving the MIL pulled me into her and looked me deep in my eyes and told me that she would be praying for me, that she had been in my shoes once, had prayed the same prayer and had been granted the peace that I was given. She shared with me how that peace remained with her until her ex passed away. They remained friends with a good relationship for their son(my friend's husband). She always was worried about his salvation and just before he died, she had a 2 hour visit with him and when she left, God placed on her heart that this man was going to heaven. I have been so worried about my husband and his soul lately. I see the dark place and spiritual warfare taking over him physically and emotionally. She didn't know that was something I had been worrying about. I mean she didn't even really know me before that hour that we spent watching a video together. It was God once again speaking to me through one of his earthly angels. He is good and faithful and ever present!

So sometimes my nurturing is not by my own hand but given to me as it was on this day. Thank you God...You are absolutely amazing(see my disclaimer in the first paragraph ;))
