Okay....the post you all have been waiting for. The big news. I'm not sure if this will be lengthy or not but here goes.
October 6, 2010 my husband got saved. I don't want to dip into the past and say things that I shouldn't but Matthew has been away from the Lord for two years and we've been separated for almost two. The Lord has gloriously saved Matthew and He's working miracles in our home, our marriage and in Matthew's life.
(Matthew asked me not to post these pictures because he hadn't had a haircut or shaved and he had a straw behind his ear but I wanted to post ASAP)
Matthew surprised me on Tuesday night by coming to Tennessee and knocking on the door. It was the best surprise.
But I'll have to say that the best surprise of all is God's mercy and grace. His forgiveness and his love towards us. And his willingness to answer our prayers when we least expect it.
I ask that you all please keep us in your prayers as God continues to move for our family. We all know that when God is doing something wonderful in our lives that the devil will fight with everything in him to destroy the child of God. Especially when God's doing something in the home. The devil hates a home being put back together. Please keep us in your prayers and pray for Matthew as God moves for him.
I'll try to post more pictures later today!

How romantic for him to surprise you in TN. I LOVE everything about this situation! You both look so happy & you can see the love of God in Matthew's eyes. How wonderful this is.
ReplyDeletePsalms 125:1 "They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever." Keep trusting in him & spend forever together!
