He is a different person, and so am I. About a month before the transformation, I started to pray for the other woman and, as God would have it, they both came to the same decision at the same time.

I know this could have not happened on its own. God is great.” (Maryland)

I turned around and there was my husband watching our son and proud of him, but the Lord did not stop there. My husband asked where we got the mower and I told him it was the old one from the garage.

When he heard the news from the kids that we had a new vehicle he said he was really happy for us.

I then realized that I did everything that Charlyne said a prodigal does. The abrupt ending of the relationship. The back and forth in my spirit about returning to God and remorse for ending the relationship. I often could not explain to people why I ended the seemingly wonderful non-covenant relationship.

She and her husband had accepted the Lord and joined a local church. We are now both friends and sisters in Christ. What a miracle! If the Lord can change her, He can also change my husband.

"The Lord unfolded a series of events which led to our restoration. We didn't plan on marrying in December this year, but God did.
