Be very, very still and allow every new experience to take place in your life without any resistance whatsoever........ You do not have to do anything, you simply have to be and let things happen (Eileen Caddy)
A sincere word of thanks to you all for your prayers, and encouragement.......... I couldn't have done it without you all,a big thanks to my "bestest" friend, for always showing me that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, ............ I have had three amazing weeks, weeks in which the messages I received were no less than a miracle.......................... I have always been something of a power freak............ yes no kidding, but over the last few years have more and more given things to God including my divorce, and everything went smoothly, no fights, no arguing, everything falling into place. But then I got a bee in my bonnet and in the words of old " Blue Eyes" I tried to do the division of assets "MY WAY" and all hell broke loose, the accusations, the retaliations, the evil spitting forth of insult for insult, I tried to get the division of assets through the courts and doing this we would have lost more than half of everything...... I started to believe the things that "The Ex One" was saying, I started to doubt my Christianity, I started to doubt by faith, I started to doubt my self................... and found myself in a downward spiral a dark place where i didn't want to be.... and then God took over.............
Two weeks ago at our cell, we watched a DVD of Louis Giglio, it is my DVD I have had it for about 5 months and never got around to watching it........... well, maybe I should have watched it sooner, but maybe God was saving it just for a time such as this, it was about no matter what you have done God loves you......... you are an awesome being, Holy Spirit in You, Christs blood covering you, and God taking care of everything .........wow.................... Next morning i get to work and my daily inspirational message is "God didn't say No, he said not Yet" ........................... and then on Sunday the message was John 1: 12, " Yet to those who received Him, to those who believed in His Name, He gave the right to become children of God" ............... and I said............ " I read you loud and clear Lord................. " It was as if a peace came over me, a realisation that i am never alone. "The Ex One" no longer wakes me every night when he comes home, In fact although we share the same house I can go days without seeing him................ I get to be at home, and he has to go out to his new " family."...... but every night he leaves her to come back here......... and I thought i was living a life of hell......
And as i sit here on my beloved verandah, the first time in months, the first time since the onset of winter, it is just a few days from the first day of Spring, as I watch the birds eating from the bird feeder and see the new green leaves on the trees, the spots of colour in the garden from the seedlings that I planted in anticipation of just a day like this ........... I realise that this is the season of New Beginnings, it is the season of Hope, the season of change, the season of new growth, the season of colour, of new life, it is time to take off the old and put on the new, it is time to leave the past behind and more on to the furture........ Gods timing is perfect I am through the Winter, and how amazing to have Spring, with all its beauty only a few days away........................
i cannot say how happy i am to read this post of yours dear Karen... this post is so inspirational and brings forth a power to start all over.. i am so happy for u my dearest person... God's timing is perfect... sometimes we choose to ignore what He is trying to tell us.. but eventually He wins us over and makes us see the things that we actually need to.. i am feeling God is with me as i write this... thankyou for making me feel this way Karen... thankyou and all the best.. :-) Happy Sunday...
ReplyDeleteKaren, Welcome back friend! Today in church our lesson was on patience..God's time, not our time..."Be still and know that I am God"..and now I read your blog that testifies to what I learned today...A million miles apart but only a click away and thoughts that combine and uplift. That never fails to inspire and amaze me. Even though we are at summers end here I always feel like fall is also a new beginning time. Schools back in session, harvesting what we've sown and so forth. Have a great spring Sunday and keep on smiling!
ReplyDeleteKaren first of all I want to say how sorry I am that I have not been a very good friend of late. I feel so bad that your going thru all of this and I have not helped you.
ReplyDeleteAlso honey I can not tell you what your prayer for my Kaci meant to me today. It lifted me up to a place I needed to be.
I wish I could do the same for you.
Right now as I write this I am asking our sweet Jesus to ease your pain and to let you have the peace that you so deserve.
If I could only sit on that veranda with you and talk. We would be there all night. lol
I hate to admit this but when I found out that my husband was leaving me for his college sweetheart I did not let him have anything and I mean anything. Selfish yes but what he did to me and my kids I figured if he wanted to leave it would be with what he had when we got married...a few clothes...lol
Write me honey
Love
Maggie
Karen, I am beginning to get a clearer picture of you now and I know that you will be OK. Hugs, JB
