@shelbyleighhall: This video brings me to tears every time I watch it, because wow.. what a God we serve. This is why where you’re planted matters. This is why relationship and community matters so much. This Sunday, a few weeks ago, was the first Sunday that Jennings returned to our home church. He sat several rows behind me, which was fine beyond words, in my eyes. Because it was never about him returning for me. It was always about him returning home to the Lord. There were many Sundays I didn’t want to leave church during our separation. I would sit through both services and just cry through most of the message. I would pray over that empty seat next to me, not in the hopes that Jennings would return back to our home church, but for him to be planted in the House of God, whatever that capacity looked like. My church family surrounded me during a time in my life, where I had literally hit rock bottom. My entire life was caving in around me. They helped to keep me on track and they helped to pick me up every single day. They surrounded me in prayer on the days that I had no words. They prayed over our kids. They prayed over our marriage. They prayed over my husband. They prayed over me. During a season where I had nowhere to turn, I turned to God. I turned to healing. I turned to faith. I knew I would come out of that season of life, a completely different person, because through God, all things are possible, and I knew, that even if my husband was what I lost through the transformation, through the revival of my own life, I knew that if it was God’s will, that it was worth it, because I found myself. It doesn’t mean that the prayers over Jennings never stopped. It doesn’t mean that I lost faith. It simply means that I laid it all at the feet of our Lord and Savior and trusted in His plan for both of our lives. I praise God everyday for the blessings that He has poured out over us individually. The growth that is happening everyday. The marriage that is being restored in His name. The family that is being reunified. We are truly two people who are being renewed and transformed by the hands of God. Not going back to our old ways, but relearning each other and rerooting ourselves in faith. God took our dry bones and breathed life back into them. Thank you, Lord. Thank you. #restoration #faith #testimony #ourstory #thankyoujesus

LouAnn Holzer :

That pastor has been on his knees praying for your marriage! You found the right pastor!

Bart Harley Jarvis :

my church totally turned against me when my wife and I split. I was removed from my leadership roll, I no longer got the smile and the hug when I walked in, I wasn't spoken to in public, all because I made the decision to leave my ex wife for cheating. so yeah I'm a little jealous here.

shiann.s.h :

oh once he seen him he looked for you, he’s prayed for yall! keep him close

The first time I came back after 11 years, on stage the pastor stopped talking during service and looked right at me and said “It’s good to see you.” It felt so sincere and warm. I didn’t think they’d even recognize me.

lossseeeerrrrr :

I wish I could find a church I connect with🥲

Mickaylaaa :

Crying for yall! I literally feel the same way. GOD separated me and my significant other for a reason and maybe it was because space and time is needed for independent growth. GOD always has a plan.

Misfit4Jesus99 :

My mom and dad spilt and mom got shunned. It was my mom’s fault for the divorce, but at that age I was mad, and upset they did that. I still am to this day.

Jaxxy🇺🇸 :

Where’s this church? I go to the well in Utah and love it but if we ever visit other states while camping would love to make a special trip…

h a l e y :

I love this. normally with churches the second you sin they completely disown u and start pointing fingers. not realizing they need you more than ever. just because you’re saved and go to church every sunday doesn’t mean ur perfect.

mariah jane :

thank you God! you are so good to us! we love you forever my Lord!

Madison Brown :

Ugh I’m crying

The one thing I missed about the small church I used to attend. It’s so much more personal with the pastors.

Dalisa :

Woww what a blessing! Where is this?

emilymb253 :

Lexie :

Beautiful. And when he said “somebody needed to hear that this morning” it reminded me of what I’ve always felt about church. A good church, a good pastor and sermon. Something in the message will ALWAYS touch to what someone is going through ❤️
