Hi to everyone! Thanks so much for the support. My, what a difference a few uplifting words can do to my spirit! Amazing things have happened since I wrote that email. I don't want to turn this into a religious forum, but I've really gotten back in touch with my spirituality and realized, AGAIN, that I had turned from God and was trying to handle life on my own. I end up a train wreck when I do that. I have handed my life back over to God and an amazing thing happened tonight. I went to my daughters soccer game (kids are still at dad's for Christmas visit) and was very dissappointed that my 11 yr old, Courtney didn't show up because I haven't seen her since Christmas. So, after the game I called my ex and asked him if I could take the girls (Courtney is 11 and Traci is 8, we also have a son, Jonathan who is 16 but he is off doing his own thing!) anyway, I asked if I could pick them up and take them for about an hour. So he let me pick them up and we went to dinner and had the best time. I also needed to go to the store so we had fun there too. The amazing thing that happened though, the night ended perfectly. I was pulling into the driveway to drop them off and a song came on the radio. A song the three of us learned at Bible School 2 summers ago when we were in the middle of this nasty divorce and custody battle. I was still living in the house with him and things were UGLY! I wasn't sure where I was going to be living, if I was going to get custody, where I would be working, $, etc. Anyway, when this song came on and we all started singing it together it reminded me how far I have ALREADY come in this 1 1/2 years since learning that song at Bible school. I have a job, primary custody of the three kids, a roof over my head, money to pay the bills and familly and friends that love and care about me. I'd say that is a huge improvement!
I know this thread is long, but I just HAD to share it with you. It might not impact you the way it impacted me, but God is so good to me and sometimes I need to be reminded of who is in charge.
AND you were all right whoever said he is someone elses problem now and she will get the same bull that I got! AMEN SISTER! Just wait until she gets left at home with sick kids while he is out playing with his "friends" and she finds out it is another woman. She thinks she found herself a rich man, boy she is in for a big surprise when she finds out that he spends every dime he makes and then some...and then some more...and then some more!!
OK, is there a limit to the length of a thread? I am going to get thrown off!! Thanks again to everyone here! I LOVE this place! I will surely be here more often!
Love to all!! HUGS!! Karen
