Strength Through Struggle


It's been a little over 2 years since my world changed forever. "Affair" - that still causes a twinge of pain in my heart. 
"How?" I'd ask myself. "Why?" Still don't have the answer to that question. 

 Looking back, I can see the hand of God in those days, weeks, years following my sad realization of the marriage coming to an end. Sometimes I wonder, should I have tried harder? Only God knows the answer to that one.

 God has been the one unshakable, unchanging, supporting "factor" in my shaken-up, very-much-changed life. I love Him so much because He rescued me. He reached His loving hand down into the pit that I had gotten myself in to, and scooped me up and set me on the Rock that will always stand firm. 

 I just want to publicly say Thank You to my Saviour for all He has done in my life. Undeserved. Merciful to me. The strength that I did not have, He gave to me and said "Use it for MY glory!"

 Thank you, LORD!!!

 "The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower." Psalm 18:2

In Times of Trouble

So, I haven't posted in almost a month because, well...I got sidetracked. The devil is good at that. But I'm back! I'm going to share a passage of Scripture that helped get me through my divorce.  It is Isaiah 55:4-17 (*Correction: Isaiah 54. Thank you Lydia :) (4) "Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded, for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more." (5) "For thy Maker is thine husband; the Lord of hosts is his name, and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called." (6) "For the Lord hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God." (7) "For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee." (8) "In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but wit...

Afflicted For Our Good?

I was studying today in my Bible in the book of Psalm and I happened upon a verse in chapter 119 that puzzled me.                       "It is good for me that I have been afflicted;                                   that I might learn thy statutes."                                                  Psalm 119:71 I couldn't get past the question in my head of "What does being afflicted have to do with learning God's commandments/laws?"  David, who might have written this psalm, definitely saw affliction, emotionally and physically. Imagine the physical affliction of being hunted like an animal as David was, because Saul wanted to kill him.  Imagine the emotional affliction that David felt because of the m...

Crossroads

I haven't posted much lately because I've been at a crossroads. Crossroads are tricky. Life, in general, has had rabbit trails that I've followed and fallen off the main road. I'm not quite sure I've gotten back on the main road, though. Life is confusing. It's hard not to focus on the "what if's" and the distractions, at least it is for me. Is it for you? I should hope that I'm not alone to say that life is hard to navigate. I am thankful, though, that I do have something that is a help in life. A guide. A path to follow if we only will follow it. A hope that things will be okay and that the walk doesn't have to be this "perfect thing" that we do. I'm thankful for God's guidance. I have more experience with the "single mom" title than I do with any other title. It's quite hard to make the appropriate decisions with no spiritual guide (in the flesh) to help make them. I know that's where God meets m...
