Keep believing, believe, believe, believe.
Still standing for my marriage and all of yours.

It's Only For A Season!!
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will
fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they
comfort me. Psalm 23:4
Whatever you are going through today, be encouraged, it will not
last, it's only for a season. If there is pain, it is only for a
season. If there are disappointments, it's only for a season. It will
not last.
"Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more" (Nah.
1:12).
There are many dark valleys mentioned in Scripture, and these typify
the many sufferings and hard experiences through which the people of
God must pass.
Phil. 1:29 "For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not
only to believe on Him, but also to suffer for His sake"
Joseph's walk through the valley did not last forever. His own
brothers sold him to become a slave in Egypt. Through a series of
disappointing and frustrating events, Joseph eventually became a
ruler in Egypt and in this position was able to save many lives from
the devastation of a seven-year drought.
Joseph came to see God's hand at work through the very actions of his
brothers that had caused him so much pain and difficulty. In a
gracious gesture of forgiveness, Joseph told his brothers, "You
intended to harm me, but God intended it for good." Joseph's valley
experience DID NOT LAST. Yours won't either.
You may be in a situation right now where you do not yet see the
good. But it is these accounts and promises from Scripture, combined
with our own past experiences, that give us the confidence that He is
walking this valley with us. In fact, not only is He walking it with
us, He has gone before us and was in this valley before we even got
here!
Your valley experience will not last. All things will work together
for your good. Be encouraged, something good will come from this.
Trust God, He will see you through. He won't allow more than you can
bear. What the enemy meant for evil, God will turn it around.
Though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, it will not
last. It is only for a season. God is with us. He is working all
things together for good for those who love Him.
God is in your situation, He is in control.Thank Him for the
disappointments. That's right, thank Him for making you a better
person. Give it all to Him so He can use it for good. Remember, He
promises to never leave you nor forsake you (Heb. 13:5).
He promises to give you "beauty for ashes" (Is. 61:3). Seek Him each
day for strength to go on. Remind Him that He promised to be present
in your valley. Ask Him to see you through!! He will do it, if you
do not quit!
