SEVEN FLOWERS: A good marriage!

Seven Flowers

I awoke one morning with this name on my mind. I knew God wanted me to use it for the title of this blog. I believe God clothes the flowers of the field in magnifigance yet He says how much more will He clothe us His children?

I have seen His hand on our family, yet I know we are only a part of the vast family of God. I myself cannot wait for heaven to find out all that HE has done in my fellow family of believers life. The WOW book contains true accounts of his miracles and intervention. I am blessed to be one of the editors of the 2nd edition.

I will update as the book is soon to be published as well as take any stories you would like to share.

I will edit and send you an updated copy of your story for your viewing and approval. The final selections for the book will be prayerfully considered.

In His Service,

Nicole Nolley

A good marriage!

A good marriage is one between two good forgivers!...Ruth Bell Grahm.

Wow! When I saw this quote, I paused and reflected on the profound truth of this simple statement!
I spent 15 years in my first marriage.
Trying to earn forgiveness.
Trying to seek a way to rectify my mistakes from the past.
Trying to hide from the truths I had willingly shared with someone I never thought would try to use these truths against me!

How freeing these words seem to me now!
I am free to forgive his unforgiveness!
Does that even make sense?
It does to me!
It allows a person to go on with their life.
It allows one to allow room for human error.

Yes I have battled with trust issues.
Trusting again was very hard in the beginning.
I don't think I can ever trust another human being on the level I innocently did in my first marriage.
I was young, naive, and very misguided on the whole subject of Christianity.

I have discovered there are some Christians you can trust with these truths from your past.
And then there are others that will pick up your grave clothes that you just shed...
and throw them back in your face.
Not the picture of God's Grace I pictured every Christian possessing!

Yes I am a work in progress.
God isn't finished with me yet.
Thank Goodness!
