Today is the 4 year anniversary of Josh's return home. It has been a wild ride of redemption, healing, and restoration. We are planning on doing some celebrating over the weekend. It is important to remember the days that we saw the hand of God move mightily on our behalf.
Over the past 4 years we have seen God's hand move on, around, and in us in such amazing ways. We have seen him remove us from positions of authority to allow us to be placed in places of influence. We have seen Him take pain and give us joy unspeakable. We have seen His hand of provision move us across the country 3 times without extra debt. We have seen Him take the ashes of a mediocre marriage and give us one of beauty. We have seen Him take the testing of our faith and turn it into a solid foundation. We have seen Him rebuild marriages around us as His testimony is being told though our lives.
4 years ago it was hard to imagine that this day would ever come. When the wounds were fresh it is hard to believe that things will ever change. But, God is faithful!! He did what no man or power on earth could have ever done. We praise you, Jesus, for where you have brought us from and where you have brought us to.
Your story being written today may not look just like ours and your outcome might be a little different. The path that He leads you on may look and feel differently than ours. But, this much we know....if you will keep holding on, keep believing that He will, and NEVER give up...our basis for our testimony will one day be yours also. That testimony is this...God is bigger and He is ALWAYS faithful!!!
Prodigals DO COME HOME!! And we know this! Happy Anniversary!
Josh and Serena
