Martha, thank you for sharing this. What stayed with me most was "Get out of my way." I think every one of us who has tried to fix a spouse, or fix ourselves, knows that ache of failing at something we were never meant to carry. Only God changes a heart. We just love and pray and stay out of the way.

The picture of God breaking off branches that didn't bear fruit hit home too. Those seasons feel like loss while we're in them, but you said it perfectly: you didn't lose anything except what He didn't want you to have. That's a hard truth and a freeing one.

Nineteen years, two unemployed and afraid, and you call it one of the best seasons of your lives. That's the gospel right there. He really does make everything beautiful in His time.

Praying God keeps opening doors for you and Jimmy to tell this story. Congratulations on the anniversary coming in July, and to God be the glory. 🀍

I am coming for prayer for my grandson. He was arrested for arson on two cars and vandalism on other cars. They are going to do a psyc evaluation on him. He is really mentally messed up. I know Jesus can heal and I pray for that healing. I also know he needs to answer for what he has done. It was more than wrong.

Debbie, I pray the blood of Jesus over your grandson that he turn to God and know his worth in Him, be changed for the Glory of God and become a new person in Him. I pray for peace in your life that you be still, let Him fight for you and wait on God as you find peace in the storm. πŸ™. Pray without ceasing. ❀️
