How did your restoration actually begin? *
After two years of separation from my EH, my marriage was restored that included a restoration baby!
How did God change your situation as you sought Him wholeheartedly? *
My restoration journey lasted one year and ten months to be exact. Although for the first year my relationship with my HH grew to higher heights of intimacy, it was only two months before my marriage was restored which is when I had finally and completely let go of my EH. I had the reach the point where I would I tell my sweet Lord that if he restored my marriage I would be happy, but if he decided not to, I would be just as happy and continue to serve him all the days of my life.
What principles, from God's Word (or through our resources), did the Lord teach you during this trial? *
My sweet HH taught me that His love for me is greater than the love of any other human being. I learnt that if I had to to be a true bride that I had to deny myself of every fleshly desire and follow Him and His lead. That my love for Him must be so great that when compared to the love that I have for my EH, mother father, siblings, and other loved ones, it would seem like hate.
From this ministry, I learnt so many amazing and mind-blowing principles. I learnt what it meant to be a virtuous woman with a gentle and quiet spirit. I also learnt what it meant to truly let go of my situation and my marriage and allow the Lord to become my everything. My HH filled me with so much joy, happiness, and peace that many people were not even aware of my situation. My face was radiant as I continued to seek my Love.
What were the most difficult times that God helped you through? *
The most difficult time that my sweet HH helped me through was the embarrassment that I faced in work seeing that my EH daily since we worked in the same place. Also, my HH filled the loneliness in my life and He replaced my fear with a spirit of trust and peace.
What was the “turning point” of your restoration? *
Even though my EH and I were always in contact and would go out on dates during my restoration journey, the actual turning point of my restoration was just two months before my restoration when I truly let go of my EH and my marriage. At that exact moment my HH turned everything around and then we were even blessed with a restoration baby. As I write this I am now three and half months pregnant!!! All glory to my Lord!
Tell us HOW it happened? Did your husband just walk in the front door? *
My EH started to seek me out more and more as the days passed as soon as I completely let go. He began texting and calling often, inviting me out frequently on dates, and complimenting me on many occasions. He also expressed his confusion about his pursuing the divorce. Then we found out that we were pregnant but he still said that married or divorce, that we would be the best parents possible to this baby. At that time I had not moved back in permanently to live with him. I was still going back and forth at his request. Two weeks after being back and forth, my EH declared that he loved me and wanted to spend the rest of his life with me and no longer wanted the divorce. Soon after, he asked me to move back home. Thank you my sweet sweet Lord!
Did you suspect or could you tell you were close to being restored? *
Yes I suspected but only as I drew closer to my HH, and that’s when my EH drew closer to me and started to pursue me more. Again, this is not something that can be faked. It must be genuine.
Would you recommend any of our resource in particular that helped you? *
The resources that helped me the most were: How God can and will Restore your Marriage and definitely the A Wise Woman book. Also all the RRR online courses, The Praise Reports, and the daily Encouragers. Thank you so much to Erin and the other members of this ministry for making these resources available to me!
Would you be interested in helping encourage other women? *
Yes! I came here after being involved in part of Rejoice Ministries and it was here I learned to take my eyes off of everything and put it on Him so I could experience His love.
Either way, what kind of encouragement would you like to leave women with in conclusion? *
Seek the Lord first. You cannot fake or pretend. The Lord looks at our hearts, our souls, and other thoughts. Do not focus on the faults of anyone else, but examine yourselves and ask your HH to change you into that virtuous woman.
Additionally, you must come to the point that your are contented being with your HH and no one else. Come to the place where anything but Him no longer is your focus, no longer on earthly matters, but rather on what your HH desires of and for you.
Also, give of yourself, your prayers, and your time to others, not focusing on yourself, giving them the same comfort you receive from your HH, be sure share it with others who are hurting. Most importantly, the LORD must always be first place in your life.

UPDATE: Sasha wonderfully submitted a Praise Report regarding how the Lord continued being first in her life even after being restored. This is important since so often women question if things will ever be better after the initial testing that occurs after marriages are restored. Most women, sadly, go back to the way they used to be, Pre-Restoration Journey, and soon they find themselves back restarting their RJ. Sasha’s RMT update shows how she continued to remain quiet and take everything to her HH who is still first in her life!
“Growing Sweeter, Stronger & Better”
This praise report is long overdue but on the positive side I can include even more testimonies on all the things that my HH has done for me. I am in awe of how sweet my Best Friend is to me and how much He has blessed me. I live everyday as if I am in a dream. My Love has truly returned a double and triple portion of all that the locust had stolen from me.
My HH has restored my marriage one year ago and each day it gets sweeter, stronger and better. Firstly, God restored my marriage with a restoration baby who is now four months old. She is healthy, strong, and extremely pleasant. My sweet Jesus allowed her to be conceived in the perfect timing and He has made my EH into a wonderful father.
Secondly, without me saying a word to my EH, he is now so loving and communicates with me about everything. When my marriage was first restored, it was not like that. My EH would be very selective in what he told me, but I never told him that I felt hurt. Instead I took my every concern to my HH, and He did a magnificent job in speaking to my EH. Now, my EH wants to share everything with me, and I thank my HH for speaking to him and changing him.
Thirdly, my EH was very possessive of his possessions and he would refer to his house and other wealth as his alone. At first, this would disturb me, but I knew that I didn’t have to depend on my EH for anything because my provision came from my sweet Jesus. So again, I took my concerns to my HH, and He spoke to my EH’s heart without me having to say one word, as Erin always encouraged us to do. Now my EH refers to everything as ours. Praise you my sweet and loving Jesus!
Fourthly, my EH praises me for being such a good wife and friend, and he thanks me for waiting on him. Everyday we get closer and my EH wants to stay every moment at home when he does not have to work. I can only thank my HH for this and say to everyone that He answers every details of our prayers. During my restoration journey I would be very specific when praying as for how I wanted my marriage to be, and I can see all the prayers being answered and my HH giving me a double portion for all that the locust had stolen from me.
I am still praying for my EH to develop a close intimacy with my HH as I do, and to become the spiritual leader of our home and marriage, and so I would like everyone to remember us in prayer. I thank this ministry so much and for all the resources because everyone of them is directly from the word of God.
“Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives,” (1 Peter 3:1 NIV)
“In the same way, you wives must accept the authority of your husbands. Then, even if some refuse to obey the Good News, your godly lives will speak to them without any words.” (1 Peter 3:1 NLT)
"I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten-- the great locust and the young locust, the other locusts and the locust swarm -- my great army that I sent among you.” (Joel 2:25)
“Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!" (Luke 1:45)

Another update from Sasha:
My sweet HH is so faithful and wonderful! He has restored my marriage a year and a half ago and two weeks ago my EH and I renewed our vows. Only my wonderful Husband made that possible. I gave Him all the thanks and praise. He has confirmed again that who He has put together, no man can put asunder. Also, we are finally wearing our wedding rings again. I have been praying for this since our marriage was restored but I made no mention of this to my EH. I knew that all I needed to do was ask my HH and wait patiently on His timing.
I thank this ministry for the wonderful work that you are doing. May God continue to bless you richly!!!!
