Story #129
-
4 years ago, my christian husband of 17 years, announced he had taken up gambling over the past year. As the story unfolded it revealed the depth of his addiction had led to him loosing $15,000 in one year and the lies he told to cover it were numerous - disolving trust in our relationship.
All this challenged me to practice the Word Pastor George preached - watching my tongue in front of the kids, forgiving, but looking for repentance and being confident in that decision. Not focusing on his poor choices, but how would I believe God in the midst to restore the finances, repair the broken trust heal my heart, etc.
I would come to church and the songs we sang were words the Lord used to help me release the pain, and affirm my faith that “Savior, He can move the mountains. My God is might to save…” Those were words of hope when it looked hopeless.
Now, 4 years later, our family attends church together and my husband is faithful to God and our family spiritually and financially.
