Today is known as "hump day". Our church's 40 day prayer and fast for our country has started this morning. They are asking people to come to the sanctuary either 6am-7am or 6pm-7pm to pray as a church family for the country. I believe all churches around the country are doing it so that no pastor has to do it alone. My husband made a committment to be one of those that stands with the church in prayer. I heard him up and about by 5am and out the door before 6am. I have to say it makes me very proud and I respect him tremendously for his faith and his walk thusfar. He is a changed man by the blood of Jesus and it is like living with a whole new person. This is what I always envisioned for me and when I began dating him, it was his faith and belief that allowed me to even entertain the idea. I was not going to waste a date on someone who didn't believe or have the same church background. In the bible they call it being unevenly "yoked". However it has been a long nine years to get to where we are today. It is only by the grace of God that we are still together today. I have been divorced and I know the pain and the consequences of it and it is not an easy road. When I was weak and wanted to quit this life I would just say to myself that God doesn't make mistakes and I did not choose this man, God did. Yet what a process to get here. It is not the Lord's fault it is ours. But only because He is ever present in my life and His promises are true did I hold on. I also believe that because we stood in faith and were obedient to God through it all that He is pleased. I believe that great and mighty things are beginning to happen for us and much will be placed on our shoulders. I watch how he is educating Christian in all ways and I see the position God has been placing on his heart. He is making him the true head of the household and he is to lead us spiritually. God has placed much responsibility on him so he must obey and adhere to this calling. As much as God is pleased, the enemy is furious so we must stand guard and be spiritually aware. So keep us in your prayers today as we continue this whole new life. And remember never to give up no matter how hard something is at the present time. Look at me. Had I given up I never would be experiencing this wonderous journey now.
Hebrews 4:16
