Taday’s devotional is based on Ephesians 5:19 The most sounds that we can make with the sounds of our voice is to automatically open up our mouths, nd begin to speak the sound of praise to the Lord, but how do you get their? There has been times on yesterday where I laughed, prayed, and…
Todays devotional is based on Psalms 75:1 There is always something to be thankful for right? Lately I have been in a little bit of a funk that I could not shake off, and I fel no guilt of wanting to just remain there I mean with all that is going on in my life I did not feel the impact of thankful inside of my spirit. It’s times like this where I needed God to love on me more or was I just making another excuse for myself to stay covered in my shame of reeling in the pain of being without my husband.
Have you ever thought how being seperated can do a lot to knock you off of your square, and at time it stucks just to hold onto the memories while God is working it out in the spiritual realm? I know what a lot of you would say be thankful because you know that He is working it out. Well come step into my shoes, and give me this same stretch of advice; but on the flip side something changed yesterday when I went to the beach with my mentor I was by the water, and i could feel the effects of the winds, and it was very cold outside, and I took my hoody off, and took a pictured while thinking about the cares that I can not place on tomorrow because I did not know what it held but I knew whatever came my way that God would for sure see me through it all.
Have you ever been in a season of unthankfulness where God pressed on your heart to give him thanks but somehow you could not mustard up a word of thank you Jesus because your heart was hurting to badly? Well if you have then trust me you are not the only woman that has felt like this before in this season of your marriage, and or life but what has to happen within yourself is your have to find joy within your journey again with a thankful heart go to God, and show forth your thanks unto Him by loving on Him because he is truly a good Father.
There is always something glowing in Heaven down on you The light that God illuminates down from His thrown is the light that breaths down into your soul to wake you up each morning, and in that just alone is what I found to be most thankful for. I have the option to walk. or drive, and or take public transportation. These things are called options, and right now someone does not have these things to choose from because they are not here anymore, and this is a true eye opener for me. This morning I chose to rely on the love, and joy of God to guide me through everything rather than me just feeling sorry for myself based on what i am experiencing in my life right now.
What can turn your blues into sunshine again? Just because you are in a fiery time right now does not mean that you life has to reflect what you are going through. Get out of the house mingle with your Holy Christians sister in Christ, but do not I repeat do not have a crying session but rather take the time to celebrate the fact that God is wrapping up this season in your life, and He is going to pour out unmeasurable grace with tools to teach you ow not to make the same mistake in this current season that you are in. God want you to learn from what you are facing now, and use wisdom to love on your husband to love, forgive, heal, while God is doing the reconciliation in the back ground. Please take this time to be obedient to God.
Take the focus off of youself Take your blinder off, and see the the dirty ol’ devil is doing in your home he is trying to trick you into beliving that God is not going to keep His promise to you concerning your marriage, but you have the power to silence the enemy by using the word of God as your spiritual tool to get him off of your back, and out of your house once you get acustome to using the word as your sword against that dirty old satan than you will have you your joy back, and you will find many more reason to give God thanks for making you wiser through His word.
For the betterment of your home I f you are cureently seperated use this time to work on you, and give everything over to God, and wait on Him do not rush the process just because you may get lonely at night some times ( trust me i know how your feel.) You have to allow God to examine the foundation of your marrige, and let God uproot what does not belong; so as He brings you, and your husband back together their will be nothing left uncovered that needs to be healed inside of your marriage.
Silence wrecked our marriage. Unhealed wombs divided us. Unkept vows separated us. Hello! My name is Jereè and I began this BLOG to share my journey as a wife as I start the process of mending the pieces of my broken marriage with God’s help by sharing my life #UnMended. God inspired the name “Mend The Vow” which means repair (something that is broken or damaged) Relationship with God and with our husbands. It is based on the Scripture in 2 Chronicles 24:12. My hope is to encourage other wives in the world who are, have been separated,and want to mend their marriage back together.
The biggest cry for today is God help us both forgive each other for the hurt in our marriage. This has been the cry of my heart the the last two years of going on, and off the grid of this things the world calls a separation but yet it is merely a divide in which the enemy, and sometimes self causes a rift in the marriage.And what is next for my marriage is to wait on God to fulfill His promises. Has it been easy No! But it is worth the wait to know that God holds a stake in my marriage to redeem the places that He will fulfill in my marriage.
Have you been standing for your marriage? There is always a restarting point where you can head back to in order for God to rectify your marriage back to His standards which He has formed from the beginning of time.Let’s Pray! Dear God This morning I choose to heal, and to not hinder my marriage, I also choose to forgive instead of holding on to unforiveness in my heart. Father help me to be equipped daily with the choice to always choose your best for my marriage, and when times come, and when times go help me to always be the submitting wife in whom you have called me to be in Ephesians 5:22 . Father thank you for clothing me with the garment of righteousness, and with the choice, and freedom to choose today to be the wife after your heart. I pray these things in Jesus name. Amen

Lately my heart has been crying out for the heart of my husband unto God have I prayed for the strength of the will of y husband to freely have the will to turn his life over to God, and serve Him.
What do you do when all you have done is Fast, Pray, while refusing to give up on the soul that needs to be saved which happens to be your husband? Keep standing, and keep beliving in the God that is more than faithful to keep you while you are barely hanging on by a thread to hope.
There nothing like God ministering to the heart of your need, and giving instructions on how, and what needs to be done to hold on while “The promise doesn’t look so promising while going through it yourself.”
Have you ever struggled with the feeling with not being good enough for the promises that God has declared over your life?
Has anything ever took you out where you know it was only God that sustained you in that trail in your life?
well for the two above question I can attest that i had these same questions come up when I faced the first storm in my marriage when we seperated for the first time thirteen months ago, and it shattered my heart not to have the company, love, and embrace of my husband. I was left feeling inadequent to the point where I became mildly depressed for some months. I was nothing without my husband at that time I relied on the touch, the sound of his voice for guidence, but on the outside i was displaying something different to him, and God was not pleased with me that I placed my husband as the centered of my life where only God should reside.
I know in this season of seperation that I am not the same woman as I was the first time around, and while I miss my husband very much I am doing this obedience task with God differently. I am listening to God rather than telling Him when, and how He should rush to bring my husband home. and while I am waiting on my husband to come home I am praying that while God is working on me that He is working on my husabnd as well so that when God does bridge us back together their will be nothing but Love, and Harmony between us both with a greater kingdom love shared that not a demon in hell can divide.
How has this season of marriage been for you?

When it comes to respect in my marriage it has not always been the best shown on my end to my husband I have been in many ways disrespectful to his feelings as a man, and as him being my husband.
In these stages of me recognizing how I have not set a standard of respecting my husband in the most ways that a wife should I see now how I have hurt, and hindered the vows in my marriage, and how I have bruised the oath that I took before God on my wedding day. I know now that respecting my husband isn ot just a choice that comes from myself, but a commandment that comes from the laws of God see 1 Peter 3:1
My actions in this area has robbed me of time spent with my husband, and it has not placed me in the best way with God in this season I have leanred that not only have my mistakes lead me into another cycle of separation, and I can not say that is was not need for time, and space for somethings to be uprooted, and reshaping the foucus on what God needs to heal, restore, and reconcile to the heart of my marriage.
2. How did this reflect on the heart of your spouse?
3. Did you correct the error in your ways of not being respectful towards your spouse?
I know now the redemption process for me in allowing myself to learn to respect my husband in underway, and I am learning to respect my husband even in his absence from the home by taking better care of the things that he likes, and does not like in order of our home.
For example he does not like dishes in the dish rack, and when I am at my moment tiredness I fold, and still want to leave them there but God softly reminds me of the journey that I am on; so I place the energy that I have left, and do the things that are appealing to the needs of my husband.
I love him, and I am writing the wrongs that has cost me time away from him, and this is just one of the things that needed my deepst sincere attention not to mention the countless other things that God is mendingk in the background where he, and I cannot see right now.
I pray that God is stirring your heart to build a bridge over trouble water in your marriage to resolve any issues that you are facing within your marriage.

For days now i have been feeling really low in my spirit, and I have really sunk into this uncomfortable pit. Why? Because i miss my husband badly, and this seperation period is ripping me apart, I cry over it, I fast during it, and i pray to fight while standing in the middle of opposition.
The days seem longer than ever before but the nights seem to roll by as I sleep wake up and scroll through my phone to avoid falling asleep again. In my body I feel emotionally drained, and I finally get the courage to text my husband to let him know that I have been thinking of him as of late, and moments later no text, hours fade by still no response from him.
My strength begin to fail me while I wait, and the sadness deepens within y heart, but God is a keeper of His promise, and His love for me. every moment that I would feel like breaking down again God sends me me a direct scripture to renew my strength in Him, and for the fight to stand for my husband no matter what this storm is showing me in the natural.
It get tough when the night fall comes to know that I can not reach out for him, and it gets the toughtest when i have to take out the trash, because my husband would always do that chore around the house. This is the reality of things in my household for now, but it is not the end of what god is doing in my marriage.
5:30 A.M this morning my alarms goes off, and the first thing I hear God speak to my heart is blog! this is the face 🙄 I have concerning that. I thought with all of the emotions I am feeling how come you desire for me to spill my emotions of a blank canvas, and here i am stank breathe crud still in my eyes, but God. I am realizing the measure of my obedience pleases god more than my whining does.
Being without my husband is like really not at all what I expected it to be. I thought I was going to show him a thing or two by trying to live without him while clinging on to God for my strength well it has been more like me dragging my faith to the alter to be renewed but only in this area. My mind set really had to change, and I really had to challenge myself not to be the weakes link in all of this…
Here’s the breakdown.
I was doing everything but sinning to make sure that My husband was taking care of. Read more here!
I know that i had to level up in my strength not to give into the things that would keep pacifying my husbands needs this is where God stepped in a few weeks ago, and got on me so badly. i was wrecked in my spirit, and I felt so bad by allowing myself to be in the way of God. Have you ever been there?
Getting me together in this dicomfort to a place of just rendering my yes to god even at times where I do not want to say yes to Him. 🤷🏽♀️ There is something about enduring in the wilderness that really makes looking at other peoples lives while at the same time wanting to weep becaause you know they need more deliverance, and you are going through without your spouse. Yes I’m going there but not living in comparision but in the norm of thoughts. Have you ever been there?
Here’s where the meausre of truth comes in, and I begin to think about why I am feeling so stuck, and so isolated when this is not how I felt a few days ago. I miss the cruddles, the kisses, the intimacy, and I want it back but not before the work is done I have to admit that because intimacy is the desire of my flesh, and I do not want somethng undone. Cab you relate?
Here’s some encouraging news God is not going to place anything on me that I can not bear, and as of this morning I am shaking off the dust to whom ever set a trap before me, because I am going to come out of this discomfort, and abide in the comfort of my Rapha because in Him are all things made new.
