My Personal Journey and BIO

What brought you to RMI, and how did your Restoration Journey begin?

I came upon RMI in 2023 after finding the first chapter of the book "How God Can and Will Restore Your Marriage" on Google.

From 2021 on, I prayed that we would be married and searched for any help about restoration that included the Lord. Things worsened and changed more as my fiancé worked in America. He went back to work in America for a second year in 2022. I once watched a movie about fighting for your marriage in prayer, which kept encouraging me as things got worse and I looked for help on restoration. I prayed a lot when my fiancé came back at the end of 2022, seeking prayers for both restoration and warfare. I occasionally discovered something. My previous life ended in 2023, which is when I first arrived at RMI.

What has RMI and/or Encouraging Woman done to help you, and what has it meant to you? How have you, and how has your life changed, since learning of the promises and applying the principles from RMI?

I was a broken woman when I arrived at RMI. Yes, I was broken, but I learned every truth from the "How God Can and Will Restore Your Marriage" book by going through every chapter and doing every lesson. I went through the mill as I discovered and learned about the kind of woman I became, the Lord wanted to change all of those things about me. "Make me the woman you want me to be" was what I asked to the Lord just before I lost my previous life. I had to be broken in order for Him to begin working on me, so that as I understood every principle, I could admit my own shortcomings. And these are the principles of the Lord found in his word, not the principles of the world. I have changed because I have allowed the Lord to transform me and made every principle a part of me. I felt more hopeful after watching every encouraging video and reading the encouragement from many other women.

Why are you interested in becoming a minister?

I would like to help every woman and child who goes through the hurt I went through. I want to be the Lord's pen. I want to work for the Lord, and He can work through me.

Who is FIRST in your life? How did this come about?

The Lord, my Beloved Husband is first in my life. I lost my old life and learned the truth. I realized that the Lord was not first in my life.

Are you currently "seeking" restoration for your own marriage? WHY or why not?

I only want what the Lord wants for me, which is my life according to His plan and will.

What would you like to say to a woman who is reading your BIO? How would you start ministering to her?

I was acquainted with pain from an early age. In pain as a young child, I was unable to recognize my father because of his change, and I didn't want to see my mother's hurt any longer because it was too great. And then going through the same pain as a fiancé and a mother. I am more aware of the truth now than I was when I was a child. Also, I've learned to forgive everyone from my past, including my father. Healing and forgiveness go hand in hand. A person moves one step closer to the healing that the Lord desires for us when we truly ask for forgiveness and ask the Lord to assist us in doing so.

My prayer would be that the women reading my BIO can feel the love and hope that comes from the Lord, seek Him out in everything, and allow Him to transform her. And to love every woman in the same way as He loves me.
