Lorie you are so right. You need to be ready for the return of your spouse and this is the hard part. You want them to return so bad, but then God could have a different plan for your life.
For me, I was so focused on having my h return that I couldn't really listen to what God was trying to tell me. The wait was so long for my h to return and then when he returned I wasn't anywhere near ready, but God has paved that way for restoration now. It's like we both are on cloud 9.
Angel that is great that you have a deep relationship with God. You are so right, when we feel that our lives are going good we can get lazy and then forget to pray or put God on the back burner. I am guilty of that as well. I am standing strong now though all that he has given me in the past few months I don't ever want to take my eye off God again.
My walk with God too has been a rocky one. I was raised with going to church, but then my mother passed away when I was in high school and it was at that time I no longer believed in God.
Well as I fell on hard times in my life I turned to God. I spent much time reading the bible, having home bible studies and strengthened my walk with God.
God speaks to me at times through visions. I am a visionary as a person, so this makes total sense to me. He has also given me messages for others. It is only when I am really close to him though that he gives me these messages.
With all that I have been through in the past years, I spent much time seeking out God and I feel he restored what was lost in my life. Even though much time passed without my h and my marriage in turmoil in one full sweep God restored it all. I can't really fully describe to anyone how alive I am today. I was a depressed person just going through the motions of life.
Today I am so full of life, nothing can break me down now, but I give all the glory to God.
I am just so full of joy and can't wait to see what is in store for my life. Anything is possible with God!
