July 19...

Well, six years ago yesterday I got married. And now it has been two years since my divorce. I have some great friends who gave me a call to see how I was doing yesterday with it being July 19. However, until they called I had no idea what the date was. Life is moving along well. Sure I can reflect on how right now in 2009 on July 20 I would never have imagined myself divorced but I am learning to lean on God for strength.

Everyday gets a bit easier. Sure there are times I miss being with someone and not being alone but I have good friends and a great family who support me and love me. Even when I was married there were times of loneliness. Now I cling to God even more for strength. I lean on Him for understanding and guidance. I have learned so much about myself over these past couple of years. The places God has taken me has been hard at times but so worth the journey.

I get excited to see how God is going to continue to use me and move me this year and years to come!

Divorce

Well, this past week it has been officially a year since I have been divorced. And even though divorce is hard and not what I had in mind, by any stretch of the imagination, I am realizing just how great this year has been for me.

I have learned so much about myself. God is showing me things and teaching me things I never thought possible. I have been so blessed to be a part of new ministries and have had the opportunity to get closer to my sister again. The five years I was married we kinda went our separate ways for a while but now things are great between us!

I am looking forward to seeing what God is going to do in the future and what journeys He is going to take me on next. All I know is that I would not change what has happened to me. Because in this time of total despair I have grown so close to Jesus. Clinging to him for all support. And it has made this whole ordeal worth it for sure!
