Last night, God was with us. Angie did great with her testimony. The whole time as I watching my beautiful bride up there, I was in happy tears. I was thinking of how much the past 7+ years have meant to me and what God told me when I married her. I was told by God when I married my wife, that it was going to be hard, but she is the one. I didn’t know what that word ‘hard’ meant, but I accepted Gods plan. Nothing would stop me from marrying her after that point. Satan tried to stop us from getting married, but at that point, because of what God said to me, he already lost that battle. During the testimony, I was thinking of the hardships we endured, the struggles we had. I was thinking of all the times, I asked God to help me through situations. All the times I asked God to heal her pain. All the times, I looked back to the time, I accepted God in my life. All the times I prayed for strength, comfort, and patience in the situation. Each time God gave these things. When each storm left, I learned something new. I learned to trust God in all things even more. I learned more about God in the last 7 years then anytime in my whole life.

Then about 8 weeks ago, God did something to my wife, I didn’t think was going to happen. He healed her heart, her body, removed all the addictions from her. He freed her from her past. Instantly, I noticed the changes in her. I waited it out, thinking its only temporary. As time past, I knew for a fact, it was something God did. Her smiles was brighter, her attitude for life was different. She wasn’t struggling to live anymore, she was embracing life. She was excited to wake up each morning and begin a new day. She was talking to God more, she was trusting him.

Then after 6 weeks since she was healed, God told her to give a testimony at the church. We decided on a date one evening, that was two weeks away. Her speaking in front of people wasn’t something she wanted to do or has ever even done, but was doing it because God told her to do it. Satan didn’t want her to give her testimony, he started to attack her with lies and temptations. He was relentless in the attacks. This tested both of us big time. I knew with each attack, her giving her testimony was what God wanted. It was hard on each of us, and we had a lot of ups and downs. She had temptations to go back to her old self, but each time she resisted. God at this time, gave my wife a few new friends to help her and pray for her. Friends that she could talk to at any time. She gained many prayer warriors, that prayed all the time for her. satan suddenly backed off for about a day and half. Then the night before her testimony, satan told her a big lie. She was confused and frustrated. We continued to pray and we decided to go on with the testimony, because God is the one in control. The day of the testimony, my wife was in complete peace. Satan knew he lost and gave up. She allowed the Holy Spirit to talk for her. The service was awesome, her testimony and our baptism was awesome. I still feel the water washing over me. I am so happy my wife did what she did and trusts in God completely now.
