Almost 18 years ago my husband and I made a covenant {promise by a pledge: to enter into a contract} to each other. We took vows. Little did we know that those vows would be tested and tried. Our promise to each other and God has been the glue at times when we wanted to give up. We’ve experienced some good times, bad times, and some really ugly times. I’m not gonna lie there were times I wanted to throw in the towel. It seemed easier to just walk away and take a loss but God never, EVER sees it that way. His word is final. His promise is a guarantee forever. No matter the journey he’s in it for life. He promises to never leave or forsake us. His love is unending and faithful irregardless of how we feel. He never doubts his decision of choosing us. We have always been his desire. I have been having dreams of getting remarried and I truly believe this word is for the church…his bride. The past years have been rocky. You wanted to walk away and give up. You’ve said to yourself it just not worth it. You’ve felt denied and neglected. I am getting ready to make a new covenant, a new promise, to you. Because you have remained faithful inspite of your feelings I will honor and show you great favor. Our relationship had to go through the testing and trials. Get ready to experience a new level of love, trust, and relationship with me. This will be a season of warm and fuzzies again. You will see and feel my love like never before!! Thank you for hanging in there with me! 

Thank you Lord for your word for they are life to us. You are a rewarder of those who diligently seek you!!! Be blessed my friends this Labor Day!!

faith, family, football, obedience, promise, restoration

  

When the Lord called us out to Texas my family and I had to walk away from family, friends, church family, and our football family. One of the hardest things for my husband was having to give up coaching his football team. He literally cried {that NEVER happens ever}. Those kids were his heart. He loves coaching and we had built our family on faith, family, and football. Moving was NEVER on our radar and to some we seemed a little crazy {to most…a lot crazy} but to us this was our life. We knew the Lord was directing us to move. Our obedience to the Lord came at a price but God delights over us when we trust him especially when the cost seems to be too high. It’s been 4 years since my husband last coached football and this season he had an opportunity to coach again. Yahoo!! I love to see God restore to us the desires of our heart. He promises to give us far more than we ever gave up for his sake. He’s faithful like that. We don’t always see how or when but he will restore…eventually. Hold onto hope that restoration is in the plan for your life. Count on it. Depend on it. It WILL happen!!!

Today will not be the day the Lord breaks his promise to you. Neither will tomorrow or the day after. He is unchanging and every word he has said is true. Every promise he has given will come to pass. Every ache you feel at this present moment is serving a far greater purpose. Your promise with process is nothing but an inheritance to be spent unwisely and wasted. Wait for it. Dwell there in that dry place. Even though it seems like nothing is growing there…you are! I pray Lord that everyone reading this will be infused with new hope and enduring faith. I pray that you, Lord,  remind them today of how faithful you are. Show them your goodness in their desert. Provide for every need. Illuminate their way. Strengthen them. It is not your intention that they die there. You will see them through this because of your promise!! Help us to believe again today! In Jesus name…Amen!!
