My oldest went away for the spring break to visit family that she lived with
for 8 years while she wasn't with me I became afraid for the temptations of
the past and of loosing her to them again.
She loves them and I have to let her go (I don't have full custody, yet), but
there are things I am not content with. I had told her she was covered by the
grace that covers our family and I remembered this.
So I started praying, I had been reading Rev., Michael English was singing in
concert on TV. I prayed God please give this family A larger covering of your
grace, I do not know why but right now I feel like we need it Lord.
All of the sudden I was driven to my knees with my head on the floor, crying
hard, and I'm saying Lord what do you want, what do you want from me? After a
while I realized He didnot want a thing from me ha had something to give me.
I saw a huge hand come through the ceiling and it came down and covered me. I
have never had such an immediate answer to prayer and now I am at peace.
The NTC part of this is my husband went. I am thanking God. My husband has
always been wonderful. But the man who came home this weekend had a new
purpose in his walk with God. Also Fred Deaver (SP?) was there he told the
trainees, when you become a Christian, you are in God's army, when you wake
up in the morning, every morning you better be listening for your marching
orders and be prepared to follow them. You need to put God first in
everything and your spouse is right there just a little lower but next to God.
He told them to work on their walk with the Lord and to work on their romance
with their wives. The man that came home to me had such a tender heart, he
said NTC was exactly what he needed, and this same man was more loving and
tender towards our children and to me then he had been in years (did I forget
to mention that I had also prayed that God would reconsecrate our marriage?).
I had to share.
God and my family have had a busy weekend! I hope the same can be said for
all of you. One of these days I'll have something to write that will be short
and sweet till then. . .
Gods blessings on you all.
