"God really spoke to me tonight. I was able to make it to Pompano Beach for Bible study. My spouse lives in the area and knew I would be in town. He said he might be able to see us if he got out early. During the study I prayed for God to show me something. My husband has filed for divorce. After the study my cell phone was dead. My husband had been trying to reach us. He drove up to my friend’s house. Thanks be to God." (Florida)
"Last week when I was speaking to my Pastor, he responded with, 'You need to continue doing what you know God has called you to do.' I Praise God for that." (Pennsylvania)
“Like the author of Monday's edition of Charlyne Cares, I also have been questioning if the restoration of my marriage is God's will. I now know that it is. The writer mentioned in her column Psalms 46:10 which oddly enough is the same scripture that the pastor's sermon was on at church this morning, “Be still and know that I am God.” This also is the same scripture that I cling to when things are not going so well with my prodigal. I thank God that He knows when I need encouragement, which seems to be quite often. Thank You Jesus.” (Mississippi)
"I was feeling discouraged since my prodigal had not acknowledged my birthday. Then last night I got a call from a woman in my church who said she needed encouragement about the challenges in her marriage and felt led to call me. We prayed and I allowed the Lord to speak through me. We both were encouraged. God showed me that despite the current condition of my marriage I still am reflecting Him and His love and hope, rather than defeat or bitterness. To God be the glory." (North Carolina)
"Halleluyah! My husband has cancelled the divorce after one year of no communication and court battles. Suddenly he wants his family back. Praise God for He is mighty. Thank you, Charlyne and Bob. Your daily 'Charlyne Cares' email helped me a lot." (Austria)
"My husband has been home for a few weeks. We are doing nightly devotionals and weekly Christian counseling. He told me that he had no peace while he was gone. He now realizes what a treasure he really has and he is trying to be the spiritual leader that God has called him to be. With God all things are possible and our family will be completely healed. Thank you for teaching me how to stand for my marriage and trust the Lord to hear my prayers. He did and my husband is a changed man." (Florida)
"God has delivered me from severe depression and a pain that just wouldn’t leave due to my separation. He has put new hope in my heart and I am now standing for my marriage again." (Jamaica)

I thank God that every small step is a step from Him. I wait for the day that God will bring him home again. Thank you for your help I will continue to read your words and advice.” (Tennessee)
"My husband left two years ago. It has been a long road, but I rejoice to share with you that on the 4th of July he moved back to this city and got an apartment and a job. He signed a six month lease and told me that his goal is to take this six months and work on restoring our relationship and his with the kids. Praise the Lord!" (Minnesota)

"The Lord knows how I struggle in my stand, but I know how powerful our God is. When someone tells me my husband won't change, those words make me pray more. I have determined to be the one to pray in the gap. Words from the enemy help me be more resolved. I know this is God's strength." (Texas)
“Friends of mine came in and gave me advice on getting a good lawyer. When they left, I sat down praying and asking the Lord to please speak to me. Within five minutes a couple walked in the room and the lady asked if she could pray for me, and at the end she told me to wait for my sweet husband and for a restoration in our marriage. Thank You Jesus.” (Kentucky)
"I visited Rejoice Pompano Bible Study this past Monday night while in South Florida on business. I encourage all standers if at all possible to be blessed by this experience. Not only was it a pleasure to be in the company of other standers, but what a pleasure to meet Bob and Charlyne. I was blessed by that evening’s teaching, even if I did cry most of the evening. Two days later I was blessed by a sky writer spelling out the words 'God Cares' and 'Jesus Loves You.' These messages were just another confirmation for my continued stand for the restoration of my marriage to my prodigal wife." (Ohio)

She confessed to me her plans and sought forgiveness. We have begun a time of healing. God is drawing our hearts to Him and toward one another." (State Removed)
"Last night God spoke to me through a movie I was watching with my kids. There were two divorced couples who marriages were restored. God is moving. My God said He will restore." (Maryland)

“I am divorced after 25 years of marriage. The Lord has been turning (husband’s) heart towards home. Last week we rode together to pick up our daughter from college. That was a miracle, for in the past he would insist on driving separate cars. On the way back, we listened to old love songs and continued to talk. A few miles from home, a Covenant Truck pulled alongside us. This Saturday we will be attending a wedding together. Since the divorce, the Lord encouraged me to create a wedding folder with plans for the remarriage ceremony and reception to my covenant husband. I even have my colors picked out. '...the vision is for an appointed time...(I) will wait for it.' Habakkuk 2:3” (Illinois)
“My former husband and I have been apart now for 11 years with no remarriage on either of our parts. He called last night and we talked about issues some openness and understanding. Praise be to God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.” (Wisconsin)
“God is so good. I praise and thank Him for all His miracles. My husband went to church Sunday. My heart has been singing all week. The next day he called me and told me not to give up, that it is almost over. God told me from the beginning that he would walk into that church. He kept His word.” (Illinois) (A PS from Pompano-This stander wrote us on October 9, 2004, “I know God will bring him to church with us again too. God told me he would and I believe what God says with my whole heart and soul.” May we always remember what God has promised to each of us.)

“My husband told me that he is having a lot of financial problems this month and will not be able to send me his truck payment. I look at his financial problems as a way that God is showing him the other side is not as green as he thought it was. With man, it is impossible, but not with God. With God all things are possible.” (Texas)
"I thank God and praise Him for being so faithful to me and my family during this time of waiting. I know whom I have believed and He is not a man that He should lie. My marriage will be restored soon." (Kansas)
"Thank you so much for the ‘The ABC's of Standing.’ I have used that as a basis for my personal Bible Study, looking up each key word in my concordance and then looking up each time the word is used in the Scriptures. I have learned a great deal by doing this. God has blessed and changed me in ways I did not think was possible. I am not nearly done with this project and look forward to my time in God's Word every day. The ABC's have been such a great blessing." (Wisconsin)
"I was traveling on a busy interstate when I saw my prodigal's car next to me. Strangely I didn't get upset. Since divorced, we have not seen each other anywhere. That chance encounter helped me to understand God's perfect timing. God continues to reaffirm His faithfulness." (Delaware)
"The LORD is far from the wicked but he hears the prayer of the righteous. A cheerful look brings joy to the heart, and good news gives health to the bones." Proverbs 15:29-30
“My husband called me and asked me to send him something in the mail. I did and included Christmas pictures and a prayer request for my surgery. He called me to say he liked the pictures ( he and me at Christmas dinner with others) and said he would pray for me. The Lord continues His healing work in our marriage.” (Arizona)
"At the beginning of my stand I was tempted to snoop on my husband and the other woman online. Jesus helped me stop and trust in Him.

God will do what He says He will do." (Michigan)

"Your ministry has had an impact on building my faith and standing for my husband. I am from Sri Lanka and my husband left me. My Lord took over as I called to Him in the day of trouble. I sought the Lord with all my heart and He began speaking to me through the scriptures. I journaled everything and He even told me from Psalm 81 that I could rejoice. My prodigal walked through that door and we are now working things out together in the Lord's paths." (Sri Lanka)

"This Thanksgiving I am waiting for my husband to come home from work, packed, because he has made reservations for us to get away for two nights, three days somewhere in Tahoe.

Praise God again and again." (California)
"My husband's grandfather died. At the funeral my husband stood in the pulpit expressing his love for this man. God reminded me of my husband's calling to ministry. Seeing him up there gave me a glimpse of what is to come. Thank You God for moving in a soon-to-return prodigal." (Maryland)
“I was listening to your message on the web entitled 'What Will Bring My Spouse Home?' You spoke of a man who said he was thankful his wife left because he came to salvation in the Lord. I also thank the Lord that my husband left me. I was a prodigal daughter who ran from the Lord for 22 years until my husband said he was leaving me. I am sure I would still be lost and running today if it weren't for that shocking event. I turned my life completely over to the Lord. I was a fool to run from God all of those years. Whether or not my spouse comes home the greatest thing that could have happened was the restoration of my relationship with my Lord. He has been by my side every step of the way and is guiding and protecting my daughter and I. If it wasn't for Him, I don't know where I'd be now through this separation. God is so awesome.” (Pennsylvania)

“My wife and daughter left our home months ago. I was served with restraining orders and then with divorce papers. I had not so much as spoken to my wife during the last four months. Our court date is less than a week away. I received a call last night from my wife telling me that she does not want the divorce and that she is contacting her attorney to stop the process. God is working another miracle.” (California)
"My spouse changed his address to mine on a bill of his. He also promised to fix my roof which has been leaking for months." (Florida)

Although he is still out of the house, this week was a special birthday for him and I asked God to have him contact me about anything so it might give me the chance to say 'Happy Birthday.'
