Praise

God is so good. So much good happened today. Chris and I went to visit Cody in prison and we had a good time with him. On the way home, he was playing music that he had recorded and we were just talking and laughing and having fun. It felt like the old days. I had a chance to spend some time with God afterwards and I really felt like He was saying this is the next start of restoration for us. We even talked about wedding rings while we were with Cody and Chris asked about his ring. He forgot that he's lost it, but it reminded me that I bought that ring for him that says "Man of God" and I was waiting for God's direction to give it to him. I wonder if this is the right time. Please pray for me about that. I think I will give it to him tomorrow. And just as I had finished writing this, I all of a sudden had the idea to put the ring on a keychain. His long standing excuse for not having a ring is that it is uncomfortable and he's afraid he would lose it. But on a keychain, next to his car key you better believe he will keep it. I did go get the ring from the car and put it on a keychain that I had on my keys (I've never seen that keychain before, but maybe that's just me being unobservant lol). I am feeling confident though that this is the right decision. Chris has already said that he is coming to church tomorrow. Please keep praying for him friends. I am so happy and relieved after today. When I got home with the kids, I was praising God and crying and I really felt this deep love for God followed after by a deep love for Chris and I really truly feel like my priorities are finally straight. God is first and foremost, Chris and my family are second. I know this praise is a bit all over the place, but something I've learned about restoration is that the same way our marriage didn't suddenly die, but slowly and progressively it went down is the same way God has been healing us. I was reminded today though that around June or July, our pastor spoke a prophesy for me that my harvest was going to come in soon and I received that. And at that time I felt God telling me it would be within the year. So I feel strongly that this is the start of the next phase of our restoration. God is so good.
