Will Be Made Whole

In the Spring of 2011 I attended an outdoor church service in my small town.  I snuck in late, sat close to the back row and hoped I would not be noticed.  It had been some time since I had been in church.

I enjoyed the service and snuck back to my car as quickly as I could.  Someone caught up with me.  She said that before the service she had noticed a small pile of broken glass under an empty chair, she said the Lord spoke to her and said

“Who sits in this chair is broken but will be made whole.”

She said she looked back after the service began and the chair was still empty.  Finally once when she looked back I was the one sitting in that chair.  I received those words like living water, they refreshed my soul.  I needed refreshing. To my amazement, it was my sister-in-law giving me these words.  We were married to brothers.

I left my husband in the Summer 2011.  A you know there were many blogs, and many prayers.

Even if every single ounce of responsibility was on me, then so be it, I made peace with God.

I divorced my husband in the Summer of 2013.  No attorney just him, me and a judge.  “Let no one else be responsible, except us two.”

Now, as the leaves change color and our temperature  ranges from 28 to 89 degrees I am reminded that this is Fall in Texas.  The Fall of 2013.

Made Whole…

I think that my journey is still a work in progress.  I am changing daily, still growing, stretching, learning….

Any day that I get down or struggle – I go to the wall and look at the map with my stick pens up and down the Eastern Coast of Africa and say

“Oh, yeah….YOU’VE BEEN THERE !!!”

Then I look at the World Map on the wall next to it and hope and pray that I will travel to new places, meet new people and smile on new shores.

The same Bible I carried in college went to Africa and was used to teach Bible Stories to children.  I pray for the opportunity to learn more so I can teach more.

I believe the best is yet to come.
