Without a doubt, this has been one of the most exciting times for FAM Fellowship members, and we are just totally in awe and amazement as we witness the mighty hand of God moving so powerfully as He SUPERNATURALLY and radically changes hearts and renews and restores so many marriages and families right before our eyes!!!

The following After Marriage Restoration testimony was posted just a little earlier on the private FAM Fellowship website, and I thank Kelly for her permission to share it here. Kelly became a FAM member last May as a prodigal turned stander. By the time the Lord convicted her that she had to return to her marriage, Chris had become involved with someone else as well. But Kelly didn’t know that and soon after they reconciled and relocated too another state, Chris decided to return to their home state and the NCP. So Kelly became the stander and soon after joining FAM, their marriage seemed to be reconciled again. But Chris still harbored unforgiveness in his heart and it wasn’t long before he returned to the NCP. But as He ALWAYS does, God had the final Word and used a very strange means to melt Chris’ hardened heart; a letter Kelly had written to Chris’ parents to ask for their forgiveness when she returned home, which his mother thought would help Chris in an anticipated custody battle for the children, and which he had not seen before! That’s why I titled that post NEVER GIVE UP ON GOD!!! What an awesome testimony proving that what is meant for harm and evil, God ALWAYS intended for good and the saving of many lives; just as Joseph declared in Genesis 50:20! So read Kelly’s beautiful testimony and be blessed and encouraged!

Hello FAM family,

It has been awhile since I have posted and it has really been on my heart lately to get on here and post what God has done and is doing for his Glory. Let me start by saying that on my desk sits a document from the court that confirms that ALL divorce proceedings have been withdrawn and that our marriage has been reconciled. When I read this I was so amazed that EVEN THE COURT had to declare THE WILL OF GOD! It is so true that nothing and I mean nothing can stand against the will of God, not the enemy, not my selfishness, not Chris’ selfishness, no NCP, NOTHING!

Chris and I have been together with our children now for almost three months, and I must tell you all that God has done EVERYTHING that he promised to do to the letter. And He continues to rebuild and restore our lives, our family, our marriage and our children; all for his Glory.

A scripture the Lord spoke to me during my wait was that he would “add to our number.” Well, he has! I found out about a week ago that I am pregnant! Our baby, who will always be a symbol to Chris and I of God’s unfailing mercy and grace, will be born sometime in June, 2009, and we are both so excited! In addition to that, Chris and I have plans to renew our vows before the Lord some time in November and we will be exchanging new wedding rings too!

The Lord promised me that his Spirit would fall upon Chris and that he would give him a new heart and he would be changed into another man, and he did exactly that. Chris has been wonderful. We pray together almost every day; he is attentive, loving and supportive and very committed to me and the kids and our NEW life together. I am a changed woman and he is a changed man. That is for sure.

I am writing this all to give thanks and Glory to Jesus and Jesus alone. This was all Him and most certainly not me or Chris. He is mighty and faithful and we can take him at his word; believe me. I am also writing this to encourage all who are still “pregnant” with his promise; DO NOT GIVE UP! He CAN NOT AND WILL NOT fail. He will do EVERYTHING that he promised you. I know it is hard to wait, but he is a wise and patient gardener. He knows when the fruit is ripe and ready to be picked and he will not be LATE. You can trust him. He is doing things that you can not see. He is weaving a tapestry of blessings for you that you can not understand right now. But trust that he is good. If you believe, you WILL see the GLORY OF GOD!

I love you all and thank you all for your prayers and support. I will continue to pray for you all as well and look forward to rejoicing at the news of YOUR restorations. THEY ARE COMING!!!

In Him,
Kelly
