The Game of Life

The Game of Life(Life) is a board game that was originally created way back in 1860. It simulates your life as your make your way through one challenge or success after another.

You come to learn many things in this simulation, such as college, careers, marriage, kids and so on.

Some of us may be living our ideal lives. Some of us may not be. But, if you could simulate reality, what would yours look like? Would you change anything? Would you do something you always wanted to do? What would you study in college? What type job or home would you want? And just how many kids would you have? The world wants to know.

I've been having a really hard time the last couple of years. I was married to a man who constantly put me down and cheated on me. I was afraid of what people would say if I decided to divorce him so soon after the wedding feeling like it was my job to be patient and pray for him. I stayed in the marriage for 4 years until he kicked me out of the house with our daughter who was 2 at the time and publicly announced his relationship with his new girlfriend. Growing up I never imagined my life would turn out like this. I thought that single moms were those woman who made poor desicions and got pregnant before they were married. Recently I've been having a big hole in my heart. I would like to find friendship and someone who I could support and they could support me. If I could change my life I would. I would like to marry a believer and to have a family like God intends. I can't say that I am unthankful for what I have. I have supportive family, a warm home to stay in, and my daughter who I love very much. But I feel a deep sadness

Hi Oksana

I really identify with what you are saying... I devoted many years to my marriage and family, and my 5 children have been greatly affected by the marriage break-up. I also have deep sadness. If I could go back and change anything, I would have chosen to be brought up Christian all my life and I would have married a mature, faithful manof God. It is through much suffering that we enter into Heaven, and I know it will all have been worth it one day when we are there. I know a young woman in a situation very similar to yours and her parents kept praying for her- she has just married a lovely, Christian man who is a good Daddy to her little girl. There is always hope dear sister. God bless you xx

I often find myself wishing with tears that I had come to know the LORD in my earlier life...

Looking back ( I have been saved going on five yrs ) I believe God was calling me , but I was seeking Him in the wrong places ...

I am a mother and grand mother to many children ( 15 grandchildren ) I have made some grave mistakes and the consequences live with me to this day...

But O how I am so thankful that the LORD did not give up on me and kept calling me in my later years ( I am 58 ) for that I am forever grateful beyond measure , may He use me to rear my grandchildren to the cross Amen...
