I come here often & pray for others. I love doing this.
I believe that my ex also loves praying for people & there was never any doubt we crossed paths for a reason.
What most devastates me in all of it/ is the day to day burdens that have been left for me to deal with, which are many. The coals, as you put it...
I never ever wanted him to stay, if wanted to go, I would beg of course at times, do not go.. etc etc..
but always, it is free choice, why would Anyone want someone that did not want them? I didn't get this, but it took me some years into adulthood to grasp this fully... I waited to marry too..
it wasn't easy, but oh if one does not believe that when we wait & pray, that God bring us the one, that is meant for us, well God Does Answer our prayers, but the funny thing is, it is all in HIS TIMING, if the two not be at the same place, as to spiritual development & I will say without a doubt, that most marriages, the ex will say, this & the other will say that about the former spouse.. but as wisdom tells it, does it really matter?????????????????????
Isn't all for HIS GLORY anyways?
That is why it is VERY hard for me to say bad things & esp on a public place, & my dander does raise at times/some days in my dealing with, "divorce," HOWEVER, if I had not gone into it with the intent for commitment & the vows I took, that I did mean, well....
this divorce (divide force).. is work/ it is exhausting, quite litterally, all there is to do. That is why I guess I do not understand quite frankly the desire of people to end something such as this..
but whatever. It's all about looking at the bigger pic, if said, X is happier with Y & Z, then ok so be it.
I am a logical person & this is where my head is at.. I know what is, & God's Truth so I am most always at complete peace & in HIM.
This is part of maturing/ growing in him (as I reach for my ice cream float & calm my previous brief intense emotions

).
Really though. this life is so short, so VERY short.
Life, the years, loving & loss, all of these are lessons, for God's Glory in the end..
I love posting prayers, praying for others.. it is my desire, what I so much pray that I share from my heart & I do believe in my ex that he knows God, but I will not share the negs here/ but that I do believe I know quite litterally who he is/ but I do not understand why he does what he does.. again, whatever.. so much of this hodgepodge razimataz, will make sense IN HEAVEN, not here, some days nothing makes a lot of sense in that there are happenings beyond our control/ on occassion. or this or that.. but I choose to think of HEAVEN, & this is who I was prior to now X, so to go back to this place is fine. God Is My Spouse.
I was given, & am given much. I clearly see the defining features in my life, those that have stuck by my side.. the loves that are still here, those that want to be around me & are faithful friends.
It is not as we know in our hearts/minds & souls/ when we know that someone loves us, we just know they do.. but as to whether they will be around us/ or stick by our side, or how it all plays out?
Only God Knows this.
SO, as I rant on & on/ I can say that I am particularly, hugely blessed in this life, on a rare occassion/ like today/ I may need a large ice cream & yes, a larger bible to fill my head/ & perhaps reminder that, God Is In Control, let go of the control panel!!!!!!!!!!!
I choose to believe, in, those that I love...
I believed in my now X. I am not exactly sure why he chose to go on another path, but I know who he is/ & it's like most things/ life/ in the big pic, whatever. We know one thing for sure. God Is With us!
We can Always rely on HIM!
God Bless & thanks for letting me post a reply also to my own request & ( to adoring 1's reply ).. I think the older we get the more we realize too how brief life really is/ that it is about our lessons, & in God it is ultimately for HIS GLORY.
whew.. I now feel peaceful.
God Please do not allow my emotions to catch up to me. As it is YOU I Love & YOUR HEART that we cling to.
