ok...Im supposed to reveal what is bothering me. I am married. It is not the best marriage and we have struggled. We have 4 kids 3 of which are in college and 1 in high school. For the past year I became involved in an affair. I fell in love with another man. I am trying to end it mainly because I do not want to give up on my marriage and this other guy wants a woman in his life and so he wants it to end also. Now I am soooooo sad. sad that I did something so horrible and sad because I am giving up someone I love. But I have to do it.

I cant stop crying. I have begged God to forgive me. I want my marriage to work and I want to love my husband. I pray everyday for these things. I hate myself right now and am so depressed.

Sbennet *hug*

We cant undo what has been done. But we can choose to not let our past destroy the future God has in store for us. And we can learn from our mistakes so that we dont repeat them.

God has forgiven you. Now you need to do the same, and find out where God wants you to go.

Its good to have you here, and its wonderful to see you taking the steps to find God's will for your life.

Sbennet, we all fall down...we all do things in our life that we are ashamed of...and that is why we need Jesus....just know that He can redeem you...He can pick you back up....He loves you....and He can heal you and your marriage. You've made the first step....time to seek God and get close to Him...make Him first in your life...let Him work on you...then He will be able to work on your marriage...take it one step at a time...God is there and He's gonna make you a new creation in Him....repent, receive His grace, believe in Jesus and fall in love with Him....He has a plan...just grab hold of that hope...

Praying for you.

Welcome to the Oasis.

Take care and God Bless
Do you know my Jesus? Do you know my friend? Have you heard He loves you? If not, I'd like to introduce you.
