God Grace:

Gods grace is awesome. I am so thankful for his grace.
I have never heard the story of David and Bathsheba before. But I will never forget it. It has definitely spoken to my heart.

I have repented and I know that no matter how hurt, or unhappy I was, or what things that were done to me or said to me or about me. It was wrong for me to be with another while still married.

I see now that what you don't know can also hurt you.
I tried many things to make my marriage work but they probably were not the right things. I should have took it to God.
But I live and learn. I fall down but I do not stay there, I get up dust myself off and keep fighting, keep growing, keep learning, Keep praying.

For some reason today all day I was feeling down. Just stayed in bed thinking about a lot of things. But god word is working because I thought to myself that I know this is the Devils work. Making me feel bad, having regrets and blame. When I know in my heart that I have repented and that I am truly sorry for how things turned out.

I finally got up and started listening to gospel music and a song game on called I will encourage myself in the Lord. And that is what I am doing.

God is great and greatly to be praised. My spirit is lifted.

Thank You Lord.

I want to say that this is only my 3rd day on this site. And on day 1
I looked around and read others story which were very encouraging to me. Thank you all for sharing your stories. One of the hardest things for me to do my entire life has been to let others know when something is wrong or that I'm hurting. Some of my family members that I am close to say that I sometimes disappear. And I try to explain to them that thats usually when something is wrong or because I am going through something. I sort of retreat into myself. I guess from embarrassment, not wanting anyone to see me like that. But also a lot of times I feel no one understands or cares really. But I have come to learn that that too is the Devil. He wants you to think that to keep you isolated and from seeking help. *help

I was reading someone's page and the lady stated that she saw a
t-shirt that read anything that you can not talk about has control over you.
WoW, that is so true. I shut down and stop talking.

I am trying Lord. Make me over.

Tomorrow step 4

Wow! Thank you for sharing. I wrote that down. Going to think about and pray about that myself.

Sharing in your journal really does help you as well as others.

God is good. He wishes to prosper you and give you abundant life.

Wow as I read your journal, I felt I was reading about myself on the last half...I too am one to retreat when something is bothering me...I clam up and share with no one...I try to just stick it out and get past it on my own...and how many times I've made a mess of doing that. Thankfully, my Father knows me well and usually sends someone to come and drag me out of the mess I've closed myself off in. I believe God sent you here to the Oasis...not only to heal through the counseling steps...but to make some friends who would care about you...and we do care

Take care
