My Custody Loss – Chapter 1

“And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten,
the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm,
my great army which I sent among you.”
Joel 2:25

Dear Mother, are you currently facing custody loss, or have you already lost custody of your children? I know how you feel because I also walked through this heartbreaking situation. At first, I couldn't understand why He allowed this to happen, but now I can see He had me go through this trial so I can share my testimony with you.

As His Bride, we know that He works all things together for good for those who love Him.

As I was rereading Chapter 1 of my Custody Loss Novel, a lot of the feelings I experienced that day and the following days came back to me. I remembered the total and utter shock I experienced when my FH (former husband) told me that he wanted to take over primary custody of the children. It was so unexpected since the divorce went through almost two years prior to this and he promised me that he would never take the children away from me because I am a good mother. I also remember the hopeless feeling I felt during the first week after his announcement, my flesh wanted to do something; I wanted to fight back, I wanted to take the children and flee. I was crying a lot, just the thought of my children staying with the other woman broke my heart. But I am so grateful that I already found my Beloved Lord and Heavenly Husband and that I knew He was the only one that could help, although I did make mistakes at the beginning of this trial. At that stage I did not know the full extent of his plans; only now, looking back I know that in part his decision was based on the fact that he was planning to get married to the other woman.

I want to share one of the lessons that helped me through this trial with you: Chapter 12 “Your Best Protection". This lesson also helped me before the custody trial when I was faced with exposing my children to the other woman, it helped me to understand that I cannot protect my children, only my Beloved Lord and my children's Heavenly Father can protect them because He is always with them, and He loves them more than I ever can.
