We are thrilled to announce that our First
RESTORATION baby, Tara, was married on August 20, 2021.

Tara, who married her husband, Gentry, just welcomed their own baby!

"A virtuous woman who can find, for her worth is far above jewels."

“Many daughters have done virtuously, but you excel them all…
a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.”

In 2021, many daughters will get married, but only one in a million will have saved herself for marriage. Tara is not just a virgin— she has remained morally pure for 29 years!!

One year after Erin's marriage was restored, after she prayed not just for her marriage but also to fill the pain of having just lost two daughters, Tara was born in March 1992! That was 29 years ago. 

After my husband left me with four young children and the Lord showed me His promise "nothing will be impossible with God" [that's on RMI's Home page because nothing IS impossible with God], I knew that this promise He gave me wasn’t just for restoring my marriage but it was for everything! Everything that is right and good and everything that He lays on our hearts HE is more than able to do it because HE is God.

The Lord used homeschooling as the means, the protected environment, for this to take place and also by planting this truth and desire into my children when they were very young—by telling them stories. How thankful, how grateful I am to the Lord for giving me these allegories, first the "Wedding Clothes" and later the "River of Life" so my children could understand at a very young age the importance and beauty of saving themselves for marriage. 

I'm so amazed how Tara, in particular, was spared from ungodly influences because she has never attended any school—even though there were so many times the opposition came to prevent that from continuing. "Nothing is impossible with God." Even when she was mocked and pressed to know why she wasn't "going to college," Tara SSG "simply sought God" ready with His answer. Her resolved heart opened the door for Tara to travel around the world—sharing her testimony of saving herself for marriage and forgoing college allowed GOD to instruct her and prepare her for the life He was calling her to.

Not only was she spared from having to attend school while I was pregnant with Tara, but Restoration Fellowship was also just beginning. From the moment God formed her ears, she began hearing the Spirit of truth. Each week, as I stood at the podium sharing the newly forming lessons from A Wise Woman, Tara's spirit was being washed with the truth. Then, as a brand new baby, I would cradle her in my arms while nursing her in the middle of the night as I was writing each Wise Woman chapter!

A Long Wait! 

When I spoke to the Lord about Tara, He reminded me, again and again, "Tara needs just one man," and that young man, Gentry, was the man Tara was waiting to find her—the one man who'd waited for her— not just morally but he saved his heart and his love for her as well. It all happened suddenly and rather remarkably.

For years, Tara has been "living the abundant life" even though she was single and wanted more than anything to be married and have children. Tara chose to WAIT on the Lord, which allowed her to "renew her spiritual strength" so she would be ready for the man GOD had chosen and the man who said, "the moment I saw her picture I knew she was the one I had been waiting for."

*Gentry met Tara in April, and just four months later, they were married!

When Gentry told me this, all I could think of as I pondered what he said was this promise that I felt led to share with him: " He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord.” Gentry replied, "Wow, that's one of my favorite verses."

Later, when connecting with Gentry's mother, she confirmed his conviction as well, "Gentry has told us over and over down through the years that he was saving himself. We have always been very thankful for that."

If you have been reading any of the new His Princess Series, then you know that my family came from an excessive amount of monetary wealth that disappeared due to divorce and infidelity. Gentry’s family comes from a deep-rooted and excessive spiritual well, a well that never fades away and cannot be stolen!! This is what both Tara and I personally prayed for her future husband and for her future children to have a father and grandfather.

Something else to note, Tara told me the day she first told me about Gentry, "Mom, we're going through A Wise Woman and A Wise Man, we're on chapter 3." 

Is it possible that you or your daughter, your son, your granddaughter or grandson, your niece or nephew could live a fairytale for everyone to witness? ABSOLUTELY. Just BELIEVE "nothing is impossible with God" and do what He leads you to do—always look for and enter "by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide, and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter by it. For the gate is small, and the way is narrow that leads to life, and few are those who find it.” Matthew 7:13-14 If they haven't saved themselves for marriage, they are still due a True Life Fairytale Wedding once they begin to trust the Lord and walk in His ways.
