Well, believe it or not but I think it is actually getting easier to deal with living apart from my husband! It's been two weeks now, and although the natural tendency to miss my husband is there, but somehow beyond that is the deep sense of joy and deep satisfaction in my heart and soul that comes from obedience to the requirements of God for our lives and a nation at this time.
In addition to this, I am also enjoying the personal growth, journey and stretching that this time apart is affording me. It's been wonderful to take on challenges that I would normally just have an input to.... but now I have to take the helm to lead and direct in these. Not only have these personal benefits fulfilled me, but also hearing the reports from Tonga and what God is doing there through David has been the icing on the cake!

I think one thing that is becoming clearer and clearer is just how much God has put inside both David and myself.... and when I think about that, it makes me think about how much God has put inside every married couple! The ability of God to supernaturally chase one thousand by one and ten thousand by two is truly a power that needs to be tapped into by couples today. Many times I think we only see the circumstances in our every day lives and by that we decide how much we are capable of. But when we see our lives not through our circumstances, but through what God has spoken, promised and declared would be, then we begin to understand the supernatural power of God to work through us; not because we are so great, but because we are so truly humbled by Him that we get out of the way and allow His exponential power to work through us, enabling us to do so much more than we could ever hope to do on our own strength, skill, ability and power.

I am learning day by day that the supernatural power of God is truly in us, if we would simply get out of the way, shut our minds down and allow Him to come through our thinking and we fully yield to Him through humility - He can truly do so much through us that at the end of every day we would look back and see how PRODUCTIVE we have been and how much we were able to do. Not because of our skill and ability, but purely because of our ability to humble ourselves, get out of the way and not dare to think or believe that we could achieve any of this on our own steam!!

Maintaining a pure heart and clear mind is a sure fire way to have the power of God work through us and get things done even in our everyday lives. The more we clutter our hearts with issues of our daily lives, or fill our thinking with all the cares of our life and everyone else's life (you know we do!!! HA.) the less room there is for God to move and get things done. Whatever we may achieve with our heart and mind clutter is usually reached through much striving, frustration, grumbling, moaning, complaining and burden that we eventually burn ourselves out and everyone else around us!
Let's do ourselves and everyone else a favor, and learn to totally let go of everything, not hold on to anything so tightly, and allow ourselves to CHILL OUT and TRUST GOD!

Honestly... the world would be a much better place if we all did this! And we would see our world change a lot quicker too!!
