However, simultaneously, I believe the Enemy- whom is real, comes in at the precise moment and steals-- ok, well tries to. Our Family was restored to balance last year. This is not only answered prayer, but answered scripture. Can that be so? With this, came what seems to be a shattered life. I have fought through asking and demanding to know why the Lord felt so compelled to allow someone to ruin and obliverate a child. Psychologically, emotionally and physically. He literally harbored a kid and did not take care of him and refused to let him go. Horrible. Thank you court system, way to watch out for the children you are entrusted with! Way to go. Why was it so important for the enemy to be able to steal our son? What good came out of this? A child now 18, now spending his senior year at a new school, finding his way.. Safely, he escaped. Yeh, and with lots of baggage. I can't tell you how much I have asked God to smite the destroyer of our life out of this world, but I realized- that is just not Jesus' heart. And I only want Jesus.
Restoration came with a hefty price tag. But before I gloat in how the Lord covers it, I must say, we had to RID ourselves of people in our lives that were praying against us, speaking out curses and willing our demise. Sounds harsh? Ummm, yes, its happens quite often, its just we are all so complacent to the negative in our families we ignore it and move on. Well, then your problems will subside and come back another day. We removed ours. Restoration began. The price tag? I could not possible name the horrific expenses we have incurred in a few short months. Like, we thought- Hurray!!! God gave him back, He did what He said He would do!!!!! Then the enemy came in and said- I will make you wish you never crossed that line. I have been to court more times- costly, that I can count. I had a judge tell me, he didn't have to honor the other judges court order if he didn't want to- that I was in his court. Then he made me pay another $1500. Satan has had a field day making us financially pay for Eston returning home. Worth it? Yes, God provided. I had another fine moment with the Judge in December whom said he would put my case in a 45 day review as to whether he would attempt to stop child support over an 18 yr. whom has been living in my home. A signed court order during the summer changing custody and stopping support. I was arrested 20 days later and another $1000 plus dollars had to be paid. Was it worth it? Yes, God provided. Does this surprise me? NO. I actually feel blessed. Super blessed. I am a child of the Most High God. I firmly believe in John 10:10. I fail in faith so often when I go thru the fire and these times REVIVE ME! A lot of people just don't get this. But I DO! So thankful. Jesus is the GOOD LIFE! Ok, yes, more battle on this issue. Oh, and talk about the enemy gloating, the text, the phone calls, really? He is in the midst of a lawsuit and continues to want to tell me what all he is going to do with ALL this money he is going to win from suing Mcl. Co. I have blocked him, I have done everything and somehow he manages to still get thru. I manage to have money stripped off my household and given straight to him, yet, he wants me to continue knowing he is WINNING. Nope. not buying it for a minute- satan- you can go ahead and line it up with the other ones and get THE HELL behind me! I find it boring now that the same time my EX feels the need to contact me, my hateful removed ex-others do the same. REMOVED is permanent. God does the restoring not me. The previous is on the removed list.
What is Restoration? By definition it is- The act of returning something to a former owner, place or condition. The act of restoring.
Ok, so were are in the process. This is good, excellent. All the Glory to be given to YOU LORD GOD!!!
The following is as all of everything is out of our hands as well. But to write it and get it OUT- feels so good!
Restoration is taking place- our insurance went up $6000 dollars this year. Bought Eston a truck. He had never had insurance coverage on him- yep insurance company did not like that- so we helped them out. He is a senior. Nothing had been done his junior year to prepare him. All Senior things had to be ordered first six weeks of school since he was behind everyone else whom did their things their junior year. Does anyone want to take a guess on how much it will cost you for a SENIOR? Well, that's why these companys spread it out over the junior year!!! Payment plans!!!! So no, we didn't get the payment plans. GOD provides. We still have a class ring to get, but that's coming in around the corner to invitations, prom and senior pictures! Yes, He has a DATE FOR PROM!!!!!!! OMG!!!! RESTORATION. GOD provides!!!! His trucks transmission went out, been in the shop for weeks $$$$. Oh, yeh that college thing. Deposits, dorm deposits, deposits, application fees, deposits. Oh, did I mention deposits? He is officially enrolled in college and moves first week of July! OMG!!!! Restoration!!! GOD provides!!!
His failing grades the years previous with no parental guidance- went to to all A's and a B!!! With all the extra courses he had to take just to PASS! Yes! Restoration. Eston stating, I wish I had escaped sooner- Priceless! However, God's timing is all we worry about, move forward and do not dwell on the past. Thus this post.
Moving Forward. Yep, we now have a huge lawsuit in our midst, a surprise one of course. In hindsight, leaving the Carolina's, yep- Cost us.............GOD provides. We are praying for God's hand to move on this as well and HE will. . It was a long fall to move our family for lies. I pray Restoration over this as well.
God is Good. He will Provide.
Jehovah Jireh- God our provider-Jesus!
Its a Journey, never a quick fix.
He is a relationship, not a one liner from a book.
