There's a lot going on.
There is a word I really dislike...and its the one word my world seems to revolve around right now.
Divorce.
I do not like that word at all.
Amos 3:3 says Can two people walk together without agreeing on the direction?
2 Corinthians 6:14-18 says Don't team up with those who are unbelievers. How can goodness be a a partner with wickedness? How can light live with darkness? What harmony can there be between Christ and the Devil? How can a believer partner with an unbeliever? And what union can there be between God's temple and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God said: "I will live in them and walk among them. I will be their God and they will be my people. Therefore, come out from them and separate yourselves from them, says the Lord. Don't touch their filthy things, and I will welcome you. And I will be your Father, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty."
I have struggled with this decision, and have went back & forth on my choice. But I see no way he & I can move forward together when we aren't on the same path of faith. Our actions and reactions towards one another have been greatly affected by my choice to be involved in the church, and I can't continue to feel like my own spouse is the one wanting to tear me away from Christ.
So today I will be calling yet another family law office. (My attorney from the domestic violence case last year is no longer doing family law....this saddens me, as I trusted him both as my lawyer & as a mentor in my life)
I am working out some minor details. I have a house picked out to rent. I am starting a class on Monday that will get me the CNA certificate and thus I will be able to find a job pretty easily in my area to tide me thru for a while. I had an interview yesterday for an office position. It seems perfect but its entirely God's will, whatever he gives me, I will take.
I am sad that things couldn't have happened differently for me & dh but I gave that issue to God a long time ago. I am at peace with the things of the past and faithful that the Lord will be walking with me & the children all along this journey.

1 Corinthians 7:10-16
ReplyDelete10 Now to the married I command, yet not I but the Lord: A wife is not to depart from her husband. 11 But even if she does depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband is not to divorce his wife. 12 But to the rest I, not the Lord, say: If any brother has a wife who does not believe, and she is willing to live with him, let him not divorce her. 13 And a woman who has a husband who does not believe, if he is willing to live with her, let her not divorce him. 14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy. 15 But if the unbeliever departs, let him depart; a brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases. But God has called us to peace. 16 For how do you know, O wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife?
