HAHA Fasting works! Is that a surprise to anyone? shouldn't be :-) Check this out!

So prayer and fasting did this for me.. Now this is a long story and I will have to tell you about it more later, maybe one night in bible study I can have the chance to share with everyone. But long story short, my husband and I were having some major issues in 2006 and had been having them off and on since I met him and married him in 2001. I held on and prayed for him and we were both not right with God but I was always determined to have faith in Gods promise and tried to help fix him with church ect. One day in church I prayed to God and that if Sun-e (my husband) was not going to change for Gods will that God take him out of the picture in my life. Well, be careful for what you pray for, because 2 weeks or so later, the very night we separated in 2006, my husband left and went to a couple of police officers house and started drinking. He left that house with a .28 BAC and got in our brand new Saturn Vue and started heading home. On his way home he hit and injured a man, eventually killing him. He started serving his sentence awaiting trial in Dallas county and then Collin Co. in 2006 and then was sentenced to prison in 2008. While he was in jail he found the lord and started studying his word and really loving it for the first time since I'd known him. I knew he had changed because we began speaking the same language when it came to spiritual talk. He has since become my light in a very hard time in my life. I mean being alone and raising two kids on my own is so hard when you have had someone by you from the beginning. But I would rather have an incarcerated saved man than a free lost man. Know what I mean? Anyway when I need uplifting I usually receive a letter from him at perfect timing filled with spiritual uplifting things that only God would have known that I needed to hear. It has been a VERY tough year on my husband because his dad(one of his most favorite people in the world) died with brain cancer 3 months after testifying for Sun-e's (my husband) character and his sister died during eye surgery 3 months prior to that so all in the matter of 6 months he had lost his dad, sister, and 17 years of his freedom. He never lost his faith though and through it all I believe he has gotten stronger in the Lord. Recently he was given some time to share his testimony on the Mike Barber show that I believe will be airing sometime on Fathers day. I will keep everyone updated. With all this said, I have to explain to you something. It wasn't just Sun-e that needed some dicipline. I had always put Gods shoes on my husband and expected Sun-e to fill them and walk perfectly in them even though I married him knowing he wasn't saved. I placed him on a pedastool, knowing all along that that is where I should have placed my God instead. So I have to say within 10 years I have learned as much, if not more, than my husband. I also know that God works miracles even though you aren't always obedient as long as he knows you have learned from the experience. I also learned that time doesn't apply to God so 17 years is not the issue all God applies is "us" to a situation.

Now, two days after I had fasted one whole Saturday I got a letter from Sun-e saying that his back time from Dallas county was applied to his prison sentence (214 days) which makes him already passed his due date for a parole hearing. Now listen, there is SOOOO much more to this story and different things happened I just can't explain them all but one of the things I placed on my commitment card was that my husband come home from prison. I am shaking typing this because 10 years ago as he cursed Gods name I never thought I would be writing like this about him. I love the Lord for his Grace and it is sufficient enough for even the worst of acts, feelings and people to be changed by it. Nothing is ever too big for God, it all starts with you! He waits for you.
