Update on how things are going in my household:

This past week I really felt like my situation was a ticking time bomb. I got some advice on the questions I had, and went and filed the petition for dissolution at the courthouse yesterday. My husband was under the impression I wasn't going to file until later next week (because that had been the plan) but some issues arose Thursday night and I saw a side of him I'd never seen before. Yesterday was a really hard day because I knew I had to file the paperwork to protect myself and my daughters, but I felt bad going behind his back about it. I prayed the whole day asking for peace to just surround the whole situation. My husband went to meet with our pastor last night and when he came home, he humbly came and asked for my forgiveness for the way he's been acting. We talked for awhile and I finally came forward and told him that I had filed. He wasn't angry at all. He agreed with everything I put in the petition and the parenting plan. I know this is God. Without God he would have been furious and acted as he has been. But he saw my heart, how I have no ill will against him, no reason to take his kid away. And I saw his heart, how he is scared to lose her, scared that I will treat him the way his first wife did. And when we truly saw each others hearts.. it was beautiful. We agree with what is best for our daughter. We agree on finances. We finally agree on everything. And today has been an amazing day. There is no tension. No uncomfortable feelings. No anxiety. No fear. On either of our parts. The divorce is still happening. But we are friends now, and more importantly, we are being the parents we should be to our daughter. It's a bad situation but we can make the best of it. AND on top of that.... I had a phone interview yesterday for a job and they want me to come interview in person on Monday! I thank God so so so much for all of His blessings! I was even able to bless others today because God has blessed me so much! Please pray that my interview goes well, and that I'll be able to keep my apartment and not move! Thank you all
