When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things.
-I Corinthians 13:11, NLT
As I get older, I am realizing how time makes things seem less scary as they did at first sight. Years give me valuable perspective.
The work I do as a Chaplain also puts me into contact with people at the end of life or delivering news about a loved one’s death. That gives me perspective as well.
How do we want to be remember? What really matters? Am I using me fleeting time on this earth wisely?
Life is too short and precious to stay stuck in a relationship with an abusive Cheater. While rebuilding a life might look scary, remember that the other option is FAR worse–namely, remaining in the abuse and contempt. Divorce is a mercy (see Matthew 19:9).
When I went through my divorce, I thought my world was ending. The reality is that it was really just beginning. God had an even better future planned for me than I could ever imagine!
