Sometimes I find it very amusing how God works. He stays with us through all of our "fickle faith" times in life and all of our "wilderness" times of life and our "it's all about me" times of life. Through all these times of unbelief and pain, He is with us (whether we choose to see or acknowledge it). Yet He uses these times to shape and mold the foundation of our faith and - oftentimes - to minister to others.
I have been faced with this recently as I have been asked to speak on " What does a Christian marriage look like" while in Zambia. I actually laughed out loud at the irony of this when I was presented with this topic. It seems so ironic to me that I would speak to this subject when marriage is something that I failed miserably at the first time around and that I feel like I have no expertise in discussing. But, as my wonderful current husband tells me, " just share what you know - you don't have to be the expert." I know what didn't work and am beginning to formulate what has worked eight years into my second marriage. And - ultimately - I just need to convey what God says about marriage.
It will be interesting to see how God will take what I think of as my biggest failure and use it for His glory.
