"When we let our past memories springboard us to higher views of God's grace, it energizes our praise and solidifies our Christian confidence."
~Robert D. Jones
The past few months have been filled with waiting, growing, and watching the Lord move in indescribable ways. In fact, on a daily basis I feel like I have to pinch myself because I can't fathom the grace and mercy He has bestowed upon us. I have struggled with wondering if the power of the past would ever loosen its grip on my little family...and slowly but surely it has.
I have come to learn the my Savior is good in all things. His will will prevail and we have victory in Him. I hate to think that it took the tragedy of a broken marriage and a broken family to drive this home in my heart. But nonetheless, I am ever more grateful each day, and by His grace I understand this lesson more and more. It is my prayer that our home will continue to be founded on Christ and His saving blood.
Without going into too many details I decided to take a temporary hiatus from any non-essentials in life until I received a final verdict from a custody case hearing. The trial was very much David and Goliath...and I have to say that facing Goliath is terrifying...that is until I fully came to understand that my God is mighty to save! And I do not mean this in a boasting way, because this confidence overcame me about 5 minutes before court commenced :) I thank God for that peace. I know I made it through that day on His strength alone!!
I received the verdict December 15th, 2010 that I would maintain sole custody of my son. I am still in awe and sometimes disbelief, and I hope that continues. I never want to forget God's goodness and mercy over my little family. I can not wait to tell my son one day about his Lord and Savior pursued and protected his little heart from such a young age.
I can't wait to get back into blogging. I love having an archive our everyday life!
