HI; Well, I am so into day 3.
I was separated from my wife and baby since June 2009. I was served with the Divorce notification in September. I was never notified of the Court Date. So I really came to Christ on 17 Nov 2009. I asked God if He will restore my marriage, but never got any reply, not even through His prophets at church whom I also consulted. Everyone just told me that What God join, no man is allowed to separate. Well, so in December I put back my wedding ring on my finger and said God, I trust you to restore my marriage. In Jan 2010 I saw my wife and baby for the first time and everybody encouraged me so that it is a sign from God that He is working in my wife as well and things will get back together. We spent countless hours together, discussing possibilities, all the while knowing that she received a court date in December already and she knew full well that she will go ahead with the divorce, and she do not want to reconcile. She knew full well how I felt, as I made it clear that I am sorry for my mistakes, and I want to get back together with her and my baby. She looked me in the eye all the time and did not even say anything.

I believed that for 3 months. 3 Weeks ago, I went to talk to my wife about the salon she is running that is still on my name as there is legal and tax issues that I need to sort out. Things got a bit hot in the conversation and she dropped the bomb on me, and I quote: "You are already divorced and you don't even know it!!!" Well my world was so ripped out from under me.
I have received a copy of the DIvorce settlement in the meantime, and I actually took 7 days off to try and deal with this horror, as I almost assaulted a guy at work when he pulled an attitude on me as usual.

Well, 4 days ago, I was praying while just walking around in my flat and the Holy Spirit just talked to me and said that it is now just me and God. Nothing and nobody else, just me and Him. A peace that I cannot describe came over me regarding my ex and my baby.

Yes, I have issues that I need to be helped with, but I believe that God will never leave me nor forsake me. I want so to trust Him with my life, serve Him in Spirit and in Truth. I want to mean something for God, as I never meant anything to anyone on this earth in my 35 years.

Well this is me for today. Thanks for the replies yesterday. It is much appreciated.

May God richly bless you and yours in every area of your lives.

hey there...psssttt...I have a secret for ya...that divorce was not the end of life...but a new beginning. I know that you feel hurt...that you feel overwhelmed...because I too am divorced...and I know at the time of my divorce I felt like something was dying inside of me....but now after 6 years, I can look back and say...hmmm this was a new beginning for me with Jesus. See I didn't know Jesus at the time before my divorce, and in fact I met Him a little over 4 years ago now...and my relationship with Him has continued to grow stronger...and we are now best friends...He is my number 1. So my new friend...I want you to know that Jesus wants to be your best friend too. You are right...He will not leave you nor forsake you...He wants to take what you have been through...and to heal you...and then to grow near to you...and to see you be able to reach out to others who are going through what you have been through...and to know that there is more to life than what happens in the world.

My prayers continue for you. You are doing great with the steps.

luv ya
