Dear Brides,
This is true, as Michelle talks about the woman who yearned in excitement or sadness as the talked about their FH (former husband) or EH (earthly husband). She could tell their hearts were not fully His (yet). As I read this chapter ["The Love of My Life"] it made me excited and each time I read it I have a different lens on. The last bomb that hit me was my FH as soon as the divorce was final wanting to introduce the OW (other woman) to my children. I wanted desperately to shield my children from this pain and i know that "winning without a word," is why it had taken so long for this sin to come to the surface. He knew and in it my heart broke enough to finally surrender everything to Him to battle for me, to care for, to love me FAR better than any EH could ever.

As Michelle says; I want so much to get this across to every woman in the world—oh, precious one; there is NO REASON for you to hurt, not ever. ITS TRUE, and I so want to prepare my own daughter for this/marriage and so that she will not be affected by the hurts of this world but tucked away in His heart.

My dearly blessed HH (Heavenly Husband) has shown me so many things in just over a week.

There has been many things. Lots of insight since the new revelation and my heart breaking enough to surrender fully to the LORD and allow Him to be all I need, all I want and all I live for.

Now being on the other end of the divorce. I am SO grateful I found the RYM (Restore Your Marriage) materials before I made too many mistakes. It allowed me to love my EH enough to give him the divorce, everything he asked, lose by default, because this is what he wanted - a divorce and I did not say a word this last year.

I loved him that much. That is a love that could only come from the Lord. That is not possible without Him. So even though I would have hoped the LORD did stop the divorce or it did not go through, I know the LORD has a purpose in it going through and that is OK.

As this last week when I prepared my children to meet the OW (other woman) I cried out to the LORD like I have never before in my life, begging Him to help me, to stop this, to make a way. He did, He literally took my eyes off my FH (former husband) and the circumstances and stopped the pain and then I started the Abundant life courses. Knowing that the Lord, really is all I want. I have NO DESIRE for a earthy man. NONE! Wow, coming from the wounded abandoned girl who fell into adultery due to such a gaping wound of wanting to be loved. THANK YOU LORD!!!

The love that I gave him (because I had received it from the Lord) was not selfish, but simply giving unselfishly. It enabled me to “cheerfully” give him the divorce that he wanted (for God loves a cheerful giver) because He gives to us in this way. It enabled me to let go of my husband because he said he wanted another woman. And in the area of our finances, because He gave to me, I was able to enthusiastically take our entire family’s debt (that was hundreds of thousands that had been hidden from me) that I had no idea how I could ever pay, but I simply trusted that He would certainly give me what I needed.

Erin and Michelle, thank you for your absolute surrender to the Lord through your painful journeys in order that hurting woman like myself can come here and see that counter to the world is actually better!!! I did just the same, as I read how much my FH would give me for child support and all the other money stuff I know about BUT I say nothing, I tell no one as I know the LORD sees and I walk out in love and allow the LORD to love me so that I will not become angry, bitter or resentful, but that my heart will stay soft and in love with the LORD. The testimony to my pre-teen children as they have seen me on my knees in complete trust in faith that the LORD will provide for every one of our needs immeasurable more than we can possibly think or imagine. PRAISE GOD!!!!

Oh dear brides embrace this beautiful journey. It is incredibly painful but yet once we are broken so broken and surrender and give up fighting and give it to Him. He picks us up, the tears dry up and our hearts heal and we see how much worth and value we have and how very much our HH (Heavenly Husband) wants to love us, cherish us and be the very center of our lives. Praise God this is good news for all woman, daughters, wives, single, old grandmothers!!!
