well guys i had a message this weekend in the form of a sermon. Boy did it speak to me. The message was that we all have big plans when we marry and have a lot of dreams and hopes. But our plans sre not always god's plans and some times our dreams get shattered. it is then that we feel failure and we suffer a brusied spirt. That is when we should be listening for god's message. But we don't we cling to the hope of fuffiling our dreams our selves instead of turning it over to him and letting him handle it for us. I think as humans we forget that there is something more powerful then us and we forget to lean on him for our strenght.

I have learned to leave it in God's hands and take care of the things I can take care off my self. and leave the rest to him to handle. I know it is a hard thing to do because we all have the need to fix things. I cannot fix my marriage because my husband has alied him self with the wrong side he is taking the path that will lead him to ruin. I am not going along for the ride he will be on his own. But i will be there if he chooses to chang directions and come home to his family but I will not wait forever. I am moving on and the Lord gives me strength that I didn't know I had. Up until recently I felt like I had a sone over my heart and it weighed on me but it is no more I have given up my burden into his keeping . So no worries. I will not LB anymore no matter how angry I get. I will RB to him when he starts his picking.

I know who I am and any man who is my partner will be lucky. be it my current husband or the next.

Hi Joanna,
Isn't it funny how sometimes it seems like the sermon is directed straight at you.
When my marriage started falling apart, I started going to a new church I had seen an article on in the local newspaper.
Each Sunday I would go, and find tears streaming down my face as my spirit cried out to god, as I was sitting in the pew. I know I must have piqued the curiosity of other worshipers, here comes the lady who sits in the back pew, and cries silently every sunday.
Each Sunday, the sermon was something that I had prayed about the prior week. It was uncanny.
The one sermon was about the mustard seed; this was when I was unaware of my husband's affair, and he had told me he didn't love me and hadn't for years. I was at a very low point in my life and was loosing hope for our marriage.
Yes, you are right. Anyone who is blessed to have you as your partner will indeed be very lucky.
Jesus will continue to give us what we need to know, when the time is right, and without fail, he will provide just what we need, maybe not what we want, but what we need.

Blessings,
K.D.'s Heartbreak


In the end, I have nothing to lose but everything to gain, by trying to save my marriage.

i have my faith to sustain me and the knowledge that I am in the right by keeping the faith. Weather it is my Wh I end up with or someone else it is in God's hands now he knows what I long for but he really knows what I need. And that is what he will give us. He must humble us to teach us how to be servents to him. Thank you for your kind words. It maybe to late for my marriage but may God bless You and keep you in his thoughts as you struggle to save yours
