Your choice to believe that truth that God is refining you even now, that He has a plan and you have a choice on whether or not to follow. . .and then that you allow us to see small bits of that journey. . .well, that encourages and challenges me. Thank you. You certainly have unshakeable faith in unspeakable circumstances.<BR/><BR/>Thank you,<BR/>BrandiBrandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01080173627359254887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7967120109771786511.post-49651919890505031622008-03-09T21:12:00.000-07:002008-03-09T21:12:00.000-07:00Heather...

I'm so glad to know where it came from!<BR/><BR/>It's a beautiful concept, and one I think is very true. God's ultimate purpose in <I>all</I> circumstances of His children is their sanctification, so why not in the most important relationship we have?<BR/><BR/>Heather, I don't glorify you, but I <I>am</I> in awe of God's work <I>in</I> you through Eric's death.

Your posts really do help me remember how truly blesses I am. You help me see what I have my eyes closed to. <BR/><BR/>But, this post has really hit home. <BR/><BR/>"My challenge to you is to see your husband or wife as a gift from God. Not in the "lucky to have him" kind of gift but rather a gift of sanctification. Find milestones in your own life that show the growth in your character through the help of your spouse. If you can't find much then set your focus of your marriage on holiness rather than happiness and you will see God work through your marriage."<BR/><BR/>I accept this challenge and know that the Lord will show me things that I need.<BR/><BR/>Shanna from PWShannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17106550802052036136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7967120109771786511.post-33785004651557521252008-03-03T21:47:00.000-08:002008-03-03T21:47:00.000-08:00" I will sing of your mercy that leads me through ..."

I am so glad the two of us take time to share daily and he knows exactly how great a blessing he has been and continues to be in my life. Not only that, but I know what a treasured blessing I am to him as well. <BR/><BR/>Continuing in prayer for you all ~<BR/>Diana OrtegaAs One Voicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00422858737167931654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7967120109771786511.post-7464828677722728362008-03-03T14:17:00.000-08:002008-03-03T14:17:00.000-08:00Priceless.
