Back in December I posted a message for support because my wife had left me after 17 years of being together. I wanted to update everyone who was kind enough to offer their prayers and support. In May, my divorce was final. This ordeal has been an incredible journey for me. I have learned that the Lord is with you and you must trust in him when everything in your life feels broken. I still feel that my situation was incredibly unfortunate and sad, but I am finding the strength to move on. Remember, the Lord knowns your pain and he will comfort you. Give yourself the time to except the pain, gain strength, and finally move on with a renewed spirit. I believe that the Lord will guide your life in times of trouble, just have faith. If I gained anything from this experience, I have learned faith indeed can move mountains.
God Bless all of you who are going through this ordeal.
The past couple weeks I have been mending and whiel I was doing that I began wondering “why” things happen the way they do. Even spending 10 days at home I found that my focus was more on business and self than anything else. At some point God was pushed down on my list of priorities. You would think that with all the time on my hands I would have been able to squeeze in some bible reading, meditation, or journaling but I didn’t. I thought about how to make it as a single parent, medical bills, paying for the kids schooling, new tires on the car, and a whole bunch of crap that God would provide if I would just let Him.
So instead of getting too wordy here I have decided to FAST (take a break)! Monday 4/19 through 4/25 I will not be using my home computer for work or play. That goes for my work computer as well except for the work part. I want to encourage visitors to continue to submit their requests, emails, and helpful advice, however for that 7 day period of time http://www.walkingthechristianlife.com will not be updated nor will I be responding to emails.
As I type this I am convicted and reminded of the song: “Heart of Worship”
When the music fades and all is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring something that’s of worth
That will bless Your heart
I’ll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You’re looking into my heart
I’m coming back to the heart of worship
And it’s all about You
All about You, Jesus
I’m sorry, Lord, for the things I’ve made it
When it’s all about You
All about You, Jesus
King of endless worth, no one could express
How much You deserve
Though I’m weak and poor, all I have is Yours
Every single breath
Please pray for me because I think I am addicted, and just the thought of not being on the computer is making me anxious. God Bless You ALL!
After 28 years of marriage, I didn’t want to be alone. The last thing I expected was divorce in my marriage. Even though my husband was not faithful, he has been forgiven by God and by me. I won’t belittle him for being imperfect. God loves him too.
I’ve begun my life again as if I were 22 years old. However, I have more bills than I did then. God is ever faithful to me. He is so magnificent and wonderful. I’ve had heartache since my divorce. I know that no matter what my situation, God is with me.
My daughter is getting married next week. I still believe God wants marriage for a man and a woman. He wants the two of them to be as one. God does not want man to separate them. I am happy for them because I know they will be blessed in their marriage.
Some day soon I will be with God in heaven. No, I am not sick but life passes quickly. My advice is to be long-sighted, not short-sighted. Our reward for winning the race is at the finish line. Therefore, finish the race and praise God for His guidance along the way.
Through 2009 I was married, divorced, and saw my divorced spouse Home after a lung cancer illness of
4 months…..Overcoming all of these circumstances is humanly impossible. God has shown His committment, His ownership of the law, extension of forgiveness, and witness of death from all the sin in this world ! I’m having lies I’ve believed clarified, mainly about divorce. God never chooses one over another – is not a respecter of persons – and in Christ there is neither male nor female….I am indeed IN Christ AND NOTHING CAN TAKE HIM AWAY….As I move forward putting my hand to the plough, His Strength is being made perfect in all of my weaknesses. I am and know for sure that I am the chiefest of sinners that God made in His Image, fearful and wonderful…..I fall short of His Glory, but know that everything that happens to me is for my good and His Glory…..I remain ministering to nursing home residents through a Sun. service, continue
giving care to my grand and great grandchildren (ages 13, 7, 4, and 15 mo.) They teach me much and consider that a ministry, too!
I’m learning the real meanings of empathy and sympathy and take full responsibility for getting married to a quadriplegic that I felt so sorry for….definitely poor judgment on my part…..I lean on I John l:9 very heavily….My daily verse that I share is “This is the day our Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it” – Through it all – yes through it all – I trust Him alone…. Without love and forgiveness, this old world wouldn’t be worth anything !
I found out in November ‘09, that my husband was having an ongoing emotional affair with a woman at church that we were in ministry with. She claimed (pushed) to be my friend and the church treated them like indispensable hero’s. Even thought it was funny how most people thought “they were married”, because they [...]
