Dear brides,
My beloved is using my journey not just to transform me into the woman He wants me to be, but also to help my mother to find Him and create that intimacy with Him.
Some days ago I submitted a praise about Spending my Sunday with Him where He was able to put my sister, her son, my mum and I together enjoying some time together sharing his word.

Well, today I would like to praise my HH because He is showing me faster and faster how He is leading my mom's heart to Him. I must share that when I started my journey, some of the most hurtful words to me came from my mom's mouth, and she even said I was a different person, not because she was happy about it, but because I was a fanatic, a religious woman a pharisee under her eyes. Ouch, that was painful because I was in the middle of my brokeness crying out to Him for help. Well, He has used that pain and hurt for good. He shut my mouth everytime she came hard to me with those words and I was able to learn to surrender my feelings and still continue loving her as much as I have always done and I still do. Time has passed, many years in fact, and my Beloved is starting to show His Fruits on her.
Let me explain, a few years ago she had a Zoster Herpes in her right hand, this is a viral disease that attacks your immune system and kills your nerves, so due to this, she lost most of the strength in her right hand. It is difficult for her trying to open containers with lids. So, the story begins because She had 3 nail polishes and wanted to open them to make her nails at home, but she was not able to do it. She immediately decided to solve the situation by going to the store in the city and getting new nail polishes. However her HH had a lesson to teach her. On her way to the city, she stopped at the house of the lady who makes her nails and this lady asked for the nail polishes and easily opened them and she even asked my mom to practice opening and closing them.
During my call at night, mum was telling me about the nail polish situation and she said:"Today God showed me that when we wait on Him, He fixes everything for us. I am so mad at myself, because I can not understand why I keep being so impulsive and want things done right away according to my will. Why it is so hard for me to change and be transformed? I was ready to spend on new nail polishes but He showed me that it was not His plan, that it was mine. I am praying now, for Him to guide me everyday and prepare me more so I become closer to Him when it is the time He calls me to his presence. I want to live His Abundant Life"
Ladies, I do not have to tell you how speechless I was, however, He led me to tell her, that for Him everything is Possible and that if she continues surrendering every single detail of her life to Him, then He will be guiding her faithfully, giving her that peace that goes beyond understanding. Age is not important for him, He just wants our hearts and obedience.
I have been praying for my family members for almost 7 years and now it is His time for me to see the answer to my prayers and witnessing how my Beloved is turning their hearts to Him.
“Age is not important for him, He just wants our hearts and obedience.” I loved what you said here my dear Poppy. He just wants our hearts and obedience in everything we do. ❤️
Oh dear Poppy, what a stage of brokenness we can see in your mother’s words. How sweet to see her desire to let Him continue to guide her and to be closer and closer to Him.🙏🏻💜
Thank you my dear Marta, her journey has taught me so many things as well, because we want the transformation of our beloved right away and this does not depend on us, we can do nothing to make it happen or see fast result in their lives. We just need to live his principles as much as we can for others to see Him through our actions. And this is the most amazing that during my journey I have failed many times but He continues to be faithful.
I know your beautiful mom and I am beyond happy to be a part of her journey through you!!! What an amazing change!! He is turning her heart and showering her with love!!
Our testimonies matter, we can touch our families through our examples!!
Yupiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Amen! my dear Isabella.
Wow Poppy, this is so amazing great, very encouraging for me to read that age is not important. But the wishes of your heart. Your mother wants to change and He will do it for her. So that she also can have the Abundant life as promise.
