Dear Brides, this chapter ["Could this be His Plan?"] has made me see a new way at looking at all my trials and tribulations. I know God the Father stretches you to bless you and get you ready for what He has for you. It has made me want to feel excited when trials come my way. I will now try to see the trials as blessings from our Father and hopefully it will be easier to go through them.

He has taught me that’s it’s going to be okay and that I can trust Him with all my heart because He will always take care of me no matter what. Thank you my Love for showing me that you love me so much no matter what and that you have been here this whole time healing, comforting, teaching, and protecting me and my girls. I want to seek you with all my heart so please help me do that. My heart hasn’t been willing to love or feel love since it’s been broken but I know that my Love will help me overcome that.

I have been trying to let go of my EH (earthly husband) in my heart because I know that is what my HH (Heavenly Husband) has been wanting me to do for a long time. This has been very hard for me but that is what I’ve been working on with fasting and prayer. The first night I started my fasting I asked my Love what was taking my restoration so long? What was I doing or not doing that was stalling it? My Love is so faithful that the very first verse He sent me the next morning was Jeremiah 29:11-13.

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."

He was telling me that I was not seeking Him with all my heart and He confirmed it twice! So that is what I am working on now and I know He will help me seek Him with all my heart and I am willing and ready to do that so I’m trusting that my Love will help my heart do that.

I will go forward now and ask My Love to help me rejoice in the trials that Our Father sends my way because I know My Love will always be here with me to catch me and I know Our Father is stretching me to bless me.

Dear Brides, I have learned that God’s plans are always better than our own and that we should rejoice in our struggles because He just wants to bless us and prepare us for what He has in store for our future.

“Look among the nations! Observe! Be astonished! Wonder! Because I am doing something in your days—You would not believe if you were told” (Habakkuk 1:5).

This verse just gives me so much hope in His promise to me that good things are coming and that they are going to be more than I ever can think and dream of.
