Hello,<BR>I am new on this site. I was just browsing the web site and ran across this web site. I have read a lot of interesting topics. My prayers are with all of you. I am asking for anyone that believes in God and believe his will be done in my life to help me understand why I can not move on with my life. I am a 35 year old female, I was married for only 2 years and in those 2 years the Lord bless me with a beautiful baby girl, by my husband. I shall never forget on the day of our anniversary when I told him, his comments where just, Oh!. And we had been praying and asking God to bless us with a child. This is my first child and my first marriage. <BR>I started figuring out that my marriage was falling apart when he got a pager and from there he started working late, then he would have to go work on Sunday's and he never wanted to work on Sunday's. I never stop trusting him, but I did approach him and asked him was something going on that I needed to no about. He said everyting was fine. My annivesary was in July 1999 in August 1999 he said he did not want his marriage anymore. I was four months and I was completely stunned. I tried to talke with him but he would not talk, he said that I aggervated him. So I stop communicatin with him unless he called. I was under so much pressure until I had to be restricted from work and put to be bed. The only income that I had was mine. He never came to any of the Dr.'s appointments, he never called just to see how I was doing are anything. And if he did call he would call and just say that things could not work out. <P>So in December 1999 I asked not to call anymore because it was to much of strain on me and the child. So far I was doing good. I found out later the lady that I thought was messing around with my husband, that told me to my face that she was not, was seeing my husband, they had moved in together. I continue to work part-time and my hours had been shorten by employer because of health reason. My child was due March 1st my last day at work was January 31st. <BR>I managed to get the baby nursery and everything ready, He did not contribute to any of this. I 5 days past my due date March 1 2000. I had made up in my mind I was not going to call him, I left to go to the hosiptal and my sister contacted him and did show up to my surprise. Shortly after 14 hours of labor and I delivered, he left. He did show any kinda of concern or happiness about the birth of our child.<P>I did not hear from him any more, When I did arrive home, I had a message on my voice mail that my employer did not need me anymore and that the poistion that I had was no longer available. I did not have a job to return to, my benifits were terminated immediatly and I did'nt have anything, all my savings were put into my child nursery, I lost my home, I lost everything. As time went Nvember of 2000 he married the young lady that was a memeber of the church we both attended and that he was living with. I still have not been able to understand what is going on and why. This young lady was married as well. They both filed for divorce at the same time.<P>I love my husband, When I found that I was completely destroyed, He has not had a relationship with his daugheter since she been in the world. He did not come for her first baptism, first thanksgiving, first christmas, and the saddest is he missed her first birthday party. <P>I feel like my husband made a decision of allowing the devil to destroy his marriage. To make this topic short. I still love my husband, not because he is the father of my child, but because, I felt that when I prayed to God and asked him to bless me with a husband, he blessed me with this man. I do believe that God knows what is best for me. I have tried to move on with my life as well as trying to block memories and my ex-husband out. But each day I am reminded of him. I finally got a call from my ex-husband and he wanted to see the baby, but he wanted to take somewhere, which means away from me. I don't really don't trust him with her by his self. I bascially told him that I have not had problem with yu having a relationship with his daughter and that I have no problem with him coming to get her. The only problem I have is that you have a wife that betrayed me and I will not allow my daughter to be around her. After I made that statement, he hung the phone up in my face. And to this day I have not heard from him. In my mind I said I hope I did the right thing.<P>It has been 1 year since our divorce. I have not met anyone nor have I been involved with anyone, because my heart is still with him. <P>I want to be happy, feel my happiness is with him. Our child does not even have a relationship with him to no who he really is. Because I think of him all the time. And you would think a year is enough time to aleast heal a litte.<P>Did I make the right decision<BR>A cry for Help!!<P><P>------------------<BR>

believe n God,<P>My heart goes out to you. Betrayal and to be abandoned are such heart wrenching experiences. Everyday you feel your life slipping away and yet when we have God in the center of our lives, we survive. We hurt and we struggle to understand. Sometimes there is no way to understand what has happened at the time. <P>I wonder about Joseph after his brothers traded him to the caravan traveling by, how he felt. He was a young man and his brothers sold him to travelers and he was carried away. How did he ever make any sense out of that?<BR>In time though he thrived though. Away from family and his own people he had to come to get to know God in his life, not through religious training by his parents and the elders but by God alone. In time he prospered. In time he was betrayed, accused and thrown in jail again. What must he have thought then? But still God was with him and made His presence known to Joseph.<P>In time Joseph saw the prophesies he performed in front of his brothers for selffish gains be used to free him and used as a means to free him from his prison for God's glory. He was put in a position in which he provided the means and a place of safety for his entire people. "Don't be afraid. Am I in the place of God? You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. So then, don't ne afraid. I will provide for you and your children. And he reassured then and spoke kindly to them"(Genesis 50:19-20)<P>We don't know why the things seem to turn out the way they do. I have been in this crisi of my marriage for 6+ years. My husband now wants a divorce. We met with a mediator for the first time yesterday. I have asked over and over why have things gone from bad to worse as I have prayed so intensly these last 6 years along with many people. Why has my husband's heart continued to grow harder and harder? I have no answer, but I know that God said to put Him in the middle of my marriage and I believe that He has a plan. When I got home after the mediation there were two devotionals on my email. One included the first verse God gave me just before the crisis and has brought back to me all during the 6 years. "Trust in the Lord Yuor God with al your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight. The other one was entitiled "Commit everything to the Lord" and ask what are you not yet committing.<P>I do not believe that it was coincidence. I believe it was God telling me, He was still in it no matter how things seemed at the present. I am searching and surrendering to God and commiitting everything to Him. But I haven't been able to do that until now, now that I am letting it go. I have to let God be the God of my life and not my husband or the circumstances. <P>I do not know why things have gone this course. But I imagine there are ways in which God still needs to work in me and prepare me for His plans for me and there are things He must work in my husband's life to prepare him and get him where He wants him to be. I realized no matter how much I want this man back, love him and believe it is meant to be, that I don't want him back in his current state. He treats others, myself and our daughters with little regard. He loves our children but you would not know that from his actions. He says mean things to me and to others. He is angry underneath and takes it out on others. He is quick to react to others if they make him wait or they can't understand what he wants them to do immediately. He has to rational his life's choices at the expense of others including his children and his guilt is drin=ving it all. I can not tell him these things, they will be taken in the wrong way and may actually block God's ability to get to him. <P>So I have to let go and get on with the things God gives me to do. Those things are to seek Him with all my heart and keeping my eyes fixed on Him and to nurture my children, helping them to heal and mature. If God chooses to return my h then he will in His time and I know with all my heart my h will be a different person. He will not be emotionally abuseive or self centered as he is now. God doesn't want me and our children to live with such a person. Don't get me wrong, my husband is a wonderful person inside and so wants to be, but he is so caught up in his sin and is blinded to his sin and he doesn't even see how he reacts and treats others.<P>Your name answers your question. Believe in God and His sovereignty. What do you need to do to create the life God is waiting to give you and your daughter? Do you need to move to get some distance between you and them? Do you need a better job to provide for your daighter? Do you need to be instructing her in the love of her Lord? You will find the answers when you seek the Lord your God with all your heart and are open to what He is telling You. This doesn not mean it will not hurt, but it means you make a decision to ask Him to help you let go and move on.<P>God's plans can not be thwarted! He is Sovereign, and in control. a little while ago some one sent this poem around and it really helped me.<P>Letting Go<P>Letting go doesn't mean to stop crying,<BR>it means I can't do it for someone else.<BR>To let go is not to cut myself off,<BR>it's the realization that I can't control another.<BR>To let go is not to enable,<BR>but to allow learning from natural consequences.<BR>To let go is to admit powerlessness, which means the outcome is not in my hands.<BR>To let go is not to try to change or blame another,<BR>I can only change myself.<P>To let go is not to care for,<BR>but to care about.<BR>To let go is not to fix,<BR>but to be supportive.<BR>To let go is not to judge, but to allow another to be judges by God.<BR>To let go is not to be in the middle arranging all outcomes,<BR>but to allow others to effect their own outcomes.<BR>To let go is not to be protective, it is to permit another to face reality.<BR>To let go is not to deny,<BR>but to accept.<BR>To let go os not to nag, scold, or argue,<BR>but to search out my own shortcomings and correct them.<BR>To let go is not to adjust everything to my desires,<BR>but to take each day as it comes.<BR>To let go is not to criticize and regulate anyone,<BR>but to try to become what, by faith, I can be.<BR>To let go is not to regret the past, but to grow and live and love more.<P>unknown<P>I pray that You will let yourself let go and let God. Discover yourself and His plans for you. You cannot change what your husband has chosen, but today you can gain the courage to face and grow in your Lord, Jesus Christ. Your current dreams are gone, but God never takes away what we won't miss and always replaces our dreams with even better dreams when we have the courage to let go and Trust Him With all our Heart.<P>Did you see the third <BR>Indiana Jones movie." Indiana Jones is in the cave searching for the cup of Christ. He comes to this giant casim. He is faced with a dilemna. How to get to the other side. The directions from His father say take a leap of faith. You can only guess that since he is reading his father's book and directions that he must trust him. Since he knows his father ans knows that his father would never hurt him, he is able to take that leap and step off the cliff. Behold there is a rock walkway that is invisible. He had to step out in order to discover it. <P>Is this not the perfecrt image of us and our Heavenly Father. We have to step out to discover his hidden rock walkway. When we do then we follow that path having lerned something wonderful of HIm. He is ther and is wating to give us incredible gifts, life. That is exactly what Indiana Jones found in the room when he walked across the bridge. He found the cup of life and brought it back to his earthly father ans he was saved from death. <P>He is there and loves you so much and your child. He will protect and provide for you as he already has. <P>Why did it happen this way? Only God knows and He may or may not reveal the reasons why. But unless you leave that behind and step off the ledge, then you are left on the ledge stuck in the same place where you stand wondering why and you will not discover what is out there for you and I guarantee it is better. And I am confident to say that because with God it always is!!!!<P><BR>I pray that you find Him today and ask Him to take your hand and lead you from the ledge and take a leap with Him. He loves you and is waiting right now to show you what is out there.<P>I must say that as I read this I know there is a message in this for myself as well. God is so good and I praise Him and honor Him with my praise.<P>God Bless.<P>hw <p>[This message has been edited by hw (edited June 07, 2001).]

Every word you have said is so true. I thank GOd for you. I had to lay my hands on the computer screen and thank God, for your words of encouragement. HW this has been a hard long road, and it seems like I have been put in a room with 4 walls and can't get out. Thank you. I will let go, I will move on with the help of God and the prayers if the rightoues. I believe that all things worketh together for the good of them that love God. My spirit has been lifted, my burdens have been lightened. What God has in store for me it is for me. I just wanted just to be done on him. I wanted him to feel the pain that I have felt for the past 2 years. <P>My mom told me a long time ago, If it is yours free it, it will return, If it is not it was never meant for you. I am letting go as of now. That weight that I have been carrying I must let it go. I must heal, so I too can do the work of the Lord. I sing a song the artist is Vanessa Bell Armstrong, Faith that can conquer anything. I have the faith that God will do just what he said. I am standing on the promises of Jesus, who has never left me, nor forsake me throught this storm. <P>If I can help somebody see the light today, then my living will not be in vain. Thank you God , hw for opening my eyes to this storm I have been. You are the head of my life, I give this burden to you.<P><BR>HW, please keep in touch, you have help me, stregthen me. I want to be a listening ear for you, I want to be shoulder if you need to release, I would like to be your prayer partner.<P>I am praying right now for your marriage, God I plead that You protect this marriage in the midst of the Satan, Deliver this marriage from his evil, destructive plans (1 Peter 5:8)<BR>Fatger, bless and strengthen this marriage in the midst of the pressure and problems of there lives. (2 Corinthians 12:9)<P>Please! Please! Keep in contact as I will. <P>I must ask you at this point, If my ex-husband calls and would like to see the baby and me should I go?<P>To God be the glory:<BR>

believe in God,<P>That is a question only you and God can answer. I think that if you don't trust him then it is reasonable to say that you may want him to visit with you near by or if their is another that you could trust with him, at least at first until you do see how he is with her. It is his daughter and he does have a right to see her and she needs a father no matter how you feel about him.<P> Unfortunaetly, I'm not sure it is realistic to expect that the other woman never meet her either especially if he is married, though I absolutely understand your feelings in this. <BR>I have that delima now but my kids are older and have some say. My oldest met the ow and for 3 months they kept it a secret at my h's request. I was furious, not because they had met but that my h put that pressure on my daughter although she is 17 and has some say. I told her it was okay and that it was okay if she liked her even. Because I didn't want her to feel guilty because of me. (although I hated the idea of her liking her) It is very hard to take ourselves out of the equastion. <P>My younger daughter (almost 11)just found out about the ow and is furious at her dad and doesn't want to have anything to do with the ow and is more distant from her dad now. I do encourage her though and tell her that at some point she will probably have to meet her and deal with it. She is not ready for that. <P>I think also she has seen too many evil stepmother stories because today she said "who knows what she will be like to us behind his back." I assured her that there was probably nothing to worry about. But she too is older and has some choice in the matter. She also feels that this woman was willing to have an affair with her dad so what kind of a woman could she be. I try to remain neutral, but it is hard.<P>When we feel that we are out of control with our life, because so much happens that is not in our control, I think we have the tendency to try to control any aspect that we can. But again it is about letting go. God has shown me so much and in so many areas where I have tried to control so many aspects of my life and the situation. I don't think i use to feel the need to control so much, but I probably did. So slowly and so painfully he has been pulling out the long roots that I grew over the last few years trying to control. He has to break down these strongholds in order to creat more space for Him in my life. He wants to be the one controlling. <P>Whenever I fast those areas that have a hold on me become ever more evident. It always boils down to control. I either feel frustration about the way things are because I can't control them. Or I feel anger again because i can not control my h usually; he just won't change or see things my way. So I see how deep the roots are. I think it is also our wrestle with God about wanting to do things our own way!!<P>A wonderful book called "A hunger for God: Desiring God through Fasting and Prayer," by John Piper, and "Just enough Light for the Step I am on," by Stormie OMartin are both wonderful books that have helped me so much to let go further. When I started to realize the need to let go and seek God more I started a journal. I dedicated it to seeking God with all my heart. I wrote down verses, poems, song lyrics and my insights into what that meant. I read verses and listened to sermons. I studied God's attributes and praising the Lord. He has shown me so much through this time. <P>For instance I have learned that these trials and storms are God's call to us to thirst for Him more. He is taking away the things that distract us so He can get our attention. When I have a day when I feel all alone, like I have no friends I have come to know that that is God calling me to seek fellowship with Him. He wants me to feel deeply that there is no one else that can satisfy that deep longing within me and also to recognize i can't get there alone. He wants me to cry out for Him in my life. He wants me to seek to spend time with Him just to be with Him not for what He might do for me.<P>He loves you this much also. He is faithful, and He is strong when we are weak. In fact He needs us to realize how weak we are so He can fill that space with His strength. It is so humbling and difficult to ask for help and to accept help especially if you are an independedt type person. Why is it so hard? Becuause it means we are not in control, someone else is. It can even be scary. But God says do not be afraid, seek the Lord, with all your heart. He is waiting to give you the desires of your heart and His many blessings. It is a journey and it will happen slowly and in segments. Seek Him by reading His word, studying His word and praising and praying to HIm. Seek fellowship with like minded women, abd even study the word with other women. It will provide you with human companionship as well.<BR>Thank you for your prayers.<P>hw<P>He is such a faithful God and He wants you and your daughter to have such a heart after Him.

Dear Believe N God,<P>Hw's posts to you are so good. I don't have much else to offer you, except to say that I will pray for you also. When I read this thread, a song by Steven Curtis Chapman came to mind.... "His Strength is Perfect". If you haven't ever heard it, do a search for it on the web and listen to it. The words are so beautiful and so true. I'll post the words here for you to read:<P>His Strength Is Perfect <BR>(II Cor. 12:9,10)<BR>Steven Curtis Chapman/Jerry Salley <P>I can do all things <BR>Through Christ who gives me strength<BR>But sometimes I wonder what He can do through me <BR>No glory on my own <BR>Yet in my weakness He is there to let me know... <P><B>His strength is perfect when our strength is gone <BR>He'll carry us when we can't carry on <BR>Raised in His power, the weak become strong <BR>His strength is perfect, His strength is perfect </B><P>We can only know <BR>The power that He holds<BR>When we truly see how deep our weakness goes <BR>His strength in us begins<BR>Where ours comes to and end <BR>He hears our humble cry and proves again... <P><BR>Heavenly FAther, thank You for Your unending love for us, for protecting and caring for us. Father, I pray that You will fill Believe n God to overflowing with Your peace that transcends all understanding. Lord, lift her up and comfort her.
