My story is multi-faceted. The blessings and out pouring of God's grace and forgiveness in my life have been imeasurable. If I had to choose the most significant one thus far it is my marriage miracle.

We married out of the will of God. We had been living together and had a baby 1 year before marriage. Looking back now, I have no other reason than I cared so little for myself that I knowingly married an alcoholic and drug addict. He had a good job but just enough days off to fuel the addictions. He would attend church on and off and many times tried to stay sober. This went on for over a period of about four years. It was such a daily struggle that I was literally thrust into MY SAVIOR'S ARMS.

I knew God, "knew" Him my whole life. But I was living off momma and daddys God. I had never discovered Him for me until my life was so tragic I did not want to live. I prayed for God to take me. I wanted out easy. But He didn't let me. Praise Him for that.

There is much, much more but I fear I would run out space. So let me get to the good part. OOOOOOOOHHHH God is GOOD and patient and so gracious. My husband was pulled out of pit so deep he didn't know what true LIGHT was. His lenses have adjusted, the scales fell from his eyes, and God showed up in the most astounding way. He is truly not who he was. He has been transformed by the renewing of his mind. Daily God is using him. In his work place, in his family, in our church even....he gave his testimony not too long ago. And praise God, HE allowed me to witness all of this.

What my husband still doesn't know is that so many of my prayers and proclamation that I shouted and cried through have been answered to a tee. That's what I want anyone to know. If you will obey and submit your will, even through tears of anger, sorrow, or just plain lost it, YOUR GOD will show up with a mighty SHOUT. Praise God...that gave me chills!!!

Thank you for this opportunity to share our God's heart.
