A Quiet Reminder
My marriage and the tribulations it has gone through is not 'new news'. It is known I was unfaithful and continued to be unfaithful. It is also known that my husband forgave me and we continue to grow in a new love for each other. I make a choice every day to love my husband and my family. He chooses to forgive me and teaches me unconditional love, daily. My husband loves me as Jesus does (maybe not as much - but pretty darn close!)
Just the other day, my Facebook Timehop reminded me that I struggled 3 years ago. A post requesting prayer for my kids and myself. Another stated getting rid of 250 lbs. and even another reminded me that something terrible had happened between Christmas and New Years 2011.
I asked my husband if he re-called what happened 3 years ago, he couldn't remember either.
I literally racked my brain for awhile wondering what in the world could have happened and I got nothing. The thought quickly left my mind as I know that's not where we are now. Whatever it was, it must have not been too bad because we are still married.
In Sunday School today, we were reviewing the Book of Joel and it hit me. Right there, in Chapter 2:25:
I will repay you for the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the hopper, the destroyer, and the cutter, my great army, which I sent against you.
That's it!!
God repaid us with helping us 'let go' of this horrible time. Can you believe it. I can't even re-call the argument, the situation that lead me to post such vivid status updates.
God also provided me the restraint to stop posting life's awful details and he taught me that those thoughts need to be between my husband and myself.
So there it is.
Another testimony how God continues to bless my life and he will/can bless your life too.
