Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope:
Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.”
Lamentations 3:21-24

Dear Wife, You’re Not Alone
We can approach the throne of mercy and grace with confidence. On days of doubt. Days of loneliness. Days when our lives feel impossibly broken.
On our best days and our very worst days, we have access to mercy and grace.
Dear Wife, Let’s Talk About Holidays
In our last post, we talked about how we have the capacity to hold both devastating grief and growing hope at the same time. Today let’s talk about some of the more practical stuff…
Dear (Weary, Wary, Over It) Wife,
So dear weary, wary, over it wife, when you want to escape the hurt– it’s ok to ask God for an out. He is able to do all things. But let’s also remember that He knows best. He has a purpose and plan. He is good and His purposes and plans are good, not harmful. So if He says no, rest yourself in Him, your heart’s Strength.
Dear Wife, Even In The Valley
And you are alone here. Alone in the valley of death’s shadow. Enemies lurk and taunt to the left and right. Fear of today, of tomorrow–it crushes in on you from every side. You have found yourself in the midst of deep darkness.
I Was A Bride
I wore white. I entered into a sacred covenant. I became part of a new family. I feasted and celebrated a bright future.
I WAS A BRIDE.
I’m no longer her, but a Bride I still am.
Dear Wife, God Will Perfectly Father Your Kids
Dear Wife, God will perfectly father your children. You don't have to be Mom AND Dad. You are free to be Mom, and only Mom. God—our Everlasting Father—will take care of the rest.
It’s About Beauty From Ashes
If you hang around here long, you’re going to hear “it’s about beauty from ashes…” So what does that actually mean and what are we implying?
Dear Wife, Be Careful What You Believe
Dear wife, be careful what you believe about God in the midst of your suffering.
Dear Betrayed Wife,
Your husband let go because selfishness ruled his heart. God hangs on eternally because perfect, steadfast, abounding, giving love rules His.
Dear Wife, Let Go Of ALL The Things
Dear Wife, If we really believe Jesus is holding all things together, then we can let go of all the things.
Dear Rejected Wife,
Do you carry a story of rejection? Maybe it feels like there is a banner over your head declaring that you are UNWANTED, UNLOVED, REJECTED? Rejection carries tones of shame that cannot be covered over easily. It infects us, down to the very core.
We Focus on God and Who He Is
Restored Home chooses to focus on God, and Who HE IS, rather than our ex-husbands, and who they were not. You don’t need any more reasons to be bitter. We want to be very careful to help guard your hearts and minds.
