Wow. I am reading a book right now and I have put it into effect called Give God a Year, Change your life forever.

I have given my life up to God, everything my marriage, my finances, my children, my business all to God.

And I am excited about the big pictures and I see the Changes already after 6 days.

Thank you for the post.

It’s been quite a year. A friendship of 30 years that is no longer and some challenges in my marriage. But I do believe that a year is what it takes. Just like if someone has surgery it’s not just about the 2 month mark or 3 month mark. It takes a year. You have to believe and wait and pray to see as I truly believe that we do not know the reason why some things happen but you need to believe.

And sometimes, you wait a year for a miracle and God works miracles in one of you but not the other… and it takes miracles of God being your hearts desire for the miracle in your marriage to happen… and it didn’t. And it’s really sad to see the reality of not what God didn’t do but what free will sometimes does especially when coupled with mental illness. Sometimes things don’t turn out as hoped or expected but God is ALWAYS good, faithful, loving, merciful, my protector, my provider, my defender… the ONLY one on whom I can rely. In my year of waiting, I have learned much about the One who loves me as no other. And for that, I am so thankful… for in Him, I can continue walking, one day at a time into an unknown future.

My first comment was deleted…I think because I included my blog url, in case you were wondering WHERE I quoted you. But anyway…I found you through Cindy Beall’s blog this morning, and I did quote you…and I hope you don’t mind.

I love that you and she are testifying that our God is, indeed, strong enough to restore marriages, for this is a message that the world and the church sorely need to hear! But He can, and He does, for His is faithful and merciful and so AWESOME!

He does all things well!

I just found your blog through Cindy Beall’s…and I hope you don’t mind that I quoted you here.

I love that God is showing that He is powerful enough to heal broken and destroyed marriages! He is so good, and so merciful, and so faithful, and so powerful, and so miraculous, and so much everything that we will ever need! And HE DOES ALL THINGS WELL!!!

Sarah – I continue to admire the beautiful woman you are and the story you have shared with us all. I’ve been married 31 years (to the same man!) and we have never had the amazing relationship you and Chad have – with each other, and with our awesome Saviour… I want to be just like you when I grow up!!
