God redeems it all

‘Who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion”
(Psalm 103:4, NIV)
The first time I ever posted on here about feeling that I had been caught in the perfect storm was about a year ago. Recently, I’ve also posted about it because I’ve heard Beth Moore teaching on it and it reminded me of the last year and a half.
I was driving to one of my last counseling appointments on Tuesday when I began to think back over the past year and a half. I was in a place so devastating I wondered if I would survive. And, then I realized something. I wouldn’t change it. If I hadn’t gone through what I’ve been through, I wouldn’t be as strong as I am today. I wouldn’t have had the strength to leave a career making a good living and chart off into unchartered territories. I wouldn’t see the doors that God has been opening to make a better life for us. I wouldn’t have ever started this blog to try and help others. I wouldn’t be planning to write a book about my experience. Even when my husband left me and filed for divorce, I was strengthened and upheld by God Himself.
God brought my husband back home. He opened doors to move from a life that was killing us stress wise and into a new life where He has created “streams in the wasteland.”
I heard Beth again this morning teaching on this subject and it brought everything full circle. She said sometimes God allows the perfect storm to break to pieces the enemy’s hold on us.
Amen and amen.
Getting through ocd.
