Grief comes in waves. It ambushes you sometimes from nowhere. I was collecting pictures for an old friend who knew me in my previously married state.

Make them a mere footnote to your awesome story
So the Lord blessed Job in the second half of his life even more than in the beginning. -Job 42:12a, NLT Faithful Spouses, we have a choice: Do we keep on allowing the cheater to be the central player in our life story or do we go out and take command of our story forging decisions … Continue reading “Make them a mere footnote to your awesome story”
Sing it and claim it in faith!
“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

“At just the right time”
You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. -Romans 5:6, NIV “At just the right time” I think we are conditioned as a species to think the “right time” is when we are able to “save ourselves.” We think that is when a partnership with God is appropriate. … Continue reading ““At just the right time””

Beauty in the World
The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. -Psalm 19:1, NLT When reeling from infidelity discovery, it is easy to loose sight of the truth expressed here in Psalm 19. The world turns grey in the midst of our depression. Yet the heavens do not stop shouting out God’s glory even if … Continue reading “Beauty in the World”

Divorce Minister is on vacation this week enjoying some quiet time on a lake. Posts will be more “spotty” this week due to my vacation and wifi access (or lack thereof). I hope to continue posting, but it may be more irregular than usual July 8th through July 14th. We all need breaks after all!
Validation, What a gift!
