Girls, I praise the Lord for how He acted when I did not stand in the way of my EH and left it to Him. I mentioned before that my EH does various extreme things that normal people don’t do and because of which we often argued. It was the same this weekend. He decided to go for the weekend in the company of people who do not eat, but just doing breatharianism, because he has wanted to try it for a few years and therefore not eat or drink for the rest of his life. Funny, right?
What I’m stressing about, but well… . :)) I won’t tell you what everything went through my head, from how we won’t go to family celebrations, how we won’t eat together as a family, how he will look physically and what people will think, etc. He also told me that if he decided to do so, he would probably go away to nature for three weeks to cope with the transition, because a person can be completely exhausted and sometimes even die. So I would be left alone with three small children, without knowing what was going on with him.
Before that, I would have convinced him not to go there, that he can’t take such a risk and leave me with 3 small children, which would probably lead to an argument, a hardening of his heart towards me, etc. I also had to resist the pressure of my parents to talk him out of it, not allow him to go there, since they knew about it. Since I learned here at RMI about the principle of not standing in the way, I decided that I wouldn’t and I just handed it over to my Beloved, that I accept it and trust Him that He will take care of our family no matter what.
And all praise and glory to my Heavenly Husband!!!! My EH came even before it was over because he didn’t like how the people looked and that he wasn’t going to do it. Ameeeeeeen!!! And as if that wasn’t enough, he also told me that he met a guy there who he was talking to about another extreme thing that my EH was going to do (I won’t mention it for discretion, but it was very dangerous) and he talked him out of it, because he tried something similar and it was not as it is said to be. Thanks, thanks, thanks my Dear!!! It’s so wonderful to fall asleep without worrying that You have everything under control, no matter how scary it looks!!!! Thank Youuuuuuuuu!!!
How wonderful Anissa when we trust our Husband to take care of everything. It brings such joy and peace into our hearts.
My dear Anissa, this is an amazing praise. Letting the Lord be the Lors of our lives. He is the only who can change hearts. Praise Him that you are living under His wings and you had peace during this process. Now you are enjoying the fruits of applying His principles❤️😍
Thank you for sharing, Anissa. Not standing in the way is such a powerful principle, and I have seen how powerful it is in my own situation. Everything we want to say will only cause hearts to harden and cause rebellion. But we do have a Heavenly Husband who we can run to and pour our hearts out to. He is the only one who can act in the situation; we can just surrender and let God be God.
Thank you Anissa for sharing! A much needed reminder for the principle of “not standing in the way” and how powerful it is.
