I will be posting later today, but I am asking for your prayers this morning. I am going to go see my friend who is working on reuniting with her husband. She wants to talk. Ladies, I need to listen and wait. Wait on the Holy Spirit to inspire my words or to hold silent. My friend is very excited and has renewed hope for her family, yet she is also tempered with reality of former vices and problems, not to mention the fiery darts of the devil.
I need to clarify that though I had talked to her ex husband about getting back together with his ex wife, my friend, he was already desiring a restoration. Kevin and I were a big factor in his reluctance because as he said we were the ones there for his ex when he wasn't there and he knew we were angry. I shared with him that God is good and He is in the business of building and rebuilding Godly relationships.
My friend didn't know we had this conversations with her ex husband on Saturday at their son's birthday party. She was sitting in church watching the youth skit and tears came pouring out of her eyes. She said she has always known, and now was clearly aware that Jesus wanted her back with her ex and to restore their family. There are obviously more details and history that were bringing them back together, but what was the final leap was an answer to prayer. You see, she has always said that she would never go back to her ex unless Jesus himself showed up and told her to. Guess what? Jesus stood on that stage and held back all her distractions and fears and allowed her heart to heal and He sent her back to her ex husband. It is such a God thing I cannot stand it! They are moving slowly in their relationship. They have been divorced for 3 years. They are dating and spending time together as a family without the sexual component. Last night they watched Fireproof the movie. I am so anxious to hear how things went. God is good my girlfriends!!! Of course you know this but I have to say it "THERE IS A GOD!"
Thank you for your prayers.
Sonia, I am an odd duck at times and yes, we don't agree on the Shack but I am so thankful for our common God and that you continue to feed me and share the truth. I can't wait for the "HOME" posts. Can I share the post site?
I will catch up with you later taters...I still have to share about our Esther lesson last night. Our core group is hanging in there and we are growing, glowing, and going places. Love it! Love our Lord! acf

Of course you can share the address, Anna. And I wouldn't call you an odd duck. Where did you come up with that? Lots of people love the book so that doesn't make you odd. In fact, I'd say it makes me odd that I took issue with it. So maybe we're two odd ducks on two sides of the fence. But quacking together is still nice...
