hi steph.
you've made the right move by reaching out.
Jesus has no problem leaving the 99 to rescue the 1....i got a feeling He already heard you and maybe set you down in this little pasture for a spell.

as for the family, stick close to the Shepherd for a bit, seek His Wonderful Counsel....He'll know what to do.

don't be afraid.

p.s. steph....
i love this little pearl:

"You may never be able to forget the years of wandering, the many sins of which you have been guilty and continue to commit, but that which gives peace is the knowledge that God will never recall them again. He has blotted them from the book of His remembrance and He has done it in righteousness for the account is completely settled, the debt is paid," Doc Ironside

I am also recently separated from my wife. One of the beautiful benefits of being a Christian is we have such a large extended family of brothers and sister in church who are equipped to support you with friendship and love and acceptance and care. If you haven't re-conected with a church yet I strongly urge you to do so, and then to be bold to approach one of the leaders and tell them your circumstances. The Lord never intended us to be alone, and it is really difficult for those of us who are separated from our spouses. The Lord bless you with His love and peace!!!!!

Hi Steph,
Just remember that God will never separate himself from you, only you can separate yourself from the love of God. God loves each and everyone of us and is always with us!

Just stay blessed as God blessed you a verylong time ago!!!!!! Love you!

Need some good advice

Hi everyone, my husband just recentley left my 5 year old daughter and I for the second time. Im having a very difficult time dealing with it I sometimes just want to crawl under a rock and go to sleep but I know that's not possible I still have to go to work, make sure my daughter gets to school everyday and just continue my day trying to be strong. my husband and I have been married for 6 years but I feel like he will never be happy with me he can be verbally and mentally abusive and it's caused a huge insecurity in Me. I need to just meet some new friends that have good Christian values that maybe can give me some good advice on what I should do. I am trying hard to do the right thing but everyday it just seems so hard I know divorce is wrong in Gods eyes but how much abuse can a person take I love my husband with all my heart and thinking of my life without him tears me apart but sometimes I know it's for the best I need some advice can anyone out there help me?

Stephanie, welcome to the site.

Humble yourself before God and place your problems at this His feet. He will act, relationships can be restored, you will be made stronger. Pray for those whom you have hurt or have hurt you and the healing can begin.

In the meantime, bury yourself in His word. Make yourself right with God. Make yourself available to those you seek to be restored with and wait, God will work on drawing you back into your relationships and fellowship. Look for a local body of believers and become intentional in your faith.

Praying for you! And know you are not alone.....

Re: Need some good advice

I think that it is very important to note that the word does not teach that divorce is wrong, it teaches that God does not like it. Divorce destroys families and causes much pain and these are reasons that He dislikes it. Forget all the talk about it being a sin. My fist wife divorced me in a state where I had no say so in the matter. How could I be in sin when I couldn't do anything about it. He love us no matter what. Always remember that.

WHAT?

Sorry, till death, bone of bone flesh of flesh.

No if ands or buts about it.

If it makes you or others feel better to think that, by all means you can go for it.

Personally, my wife of 28 yrs. left 6 weeks ago, ........we'll have to see what happens.

But whatever she does is between her and god...... separate, adultery , divorce??

What ever she does does not effect me (spiritually speaking).

Until she or I dies, we are married. (and whoever is unfaithful is an adulterer).

So, I hope we can reconcile, but if not, It's still until death in my eyes and not wishing death to her but I'll keep my eye out in the obituary columns.

When i hear of abuse, i always suggest leaving. I am a strong advocate against verbal, emotional and physical abuse and when i hear any of it going on, i always say leave the jerk and don't look back.


On a side note, you may not want to post your issues in another person post, but rather start your own thread.

My husband and I are recently sepearted. I am sorry for your struggles, as I can relate. We need to stay strong and find yourself and pray that both your hearts will soften and can forgive eachother. I mistreated my husband for years due to my depression and being bi-polar. Not making excuses for my behavior as he did not derserve me disrespecting him. My husband and I do not want a divorce, although he has moved out and purchased storage so that scares me...He said in order for him to heal, he wants to be completely seperated, financially and nothing of his in our home. I try to focus on day by day and stay in the moment. He prefers not to communicate during the day unless its via text. However we can say goodnight on phone. He wants to hang out as a family every other weekend, which I look forward too. I know I have alot of changing to do on my end, I just hope he can forgive me and we can one day be reunited and look back at this a lesson learned and never forget the pain we have sufferred. I will keep you in my prayers. Stay Strong and keep the faith.

Hi Steph! Jesus himself said that HE IS THE WAY. And this is true in every sense of the word. (wordS if you like hehe) HE IS! And bearing in mind that he does not lie - it gives us comfort :) especially when we are lost. He will guide you and comfort you. He will redeem you, restore you, and make you whole - YOU and YOURS. I pray you find people who will bless you and who will be blessed by your life as well here on the site - I know I did. :) Send me a message if you need prayer Steph. God bless you!
