Busy Christmas and Angelic Intervention
And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way. -Matthew 2:12, KJV When Jesus was vulnerable as a baby, we see a battle to end his life and God sending His angels to preserve Him.

Weapon fit for service
“See, it is I who created the blacksmith who fans the coals into flame and forges a weapon fit for its work.

Underestimated
Often, I believe cheaters underestimate us, faithful spouses. They assume their games will continue undetected and without confrontation. Maybe they had had “success” for so long that they got complacent? Some treat the faithful spouse as a lesser being. They fail to respect our agency and inherent worth. Cheaters just give out contempt. But that … Continue reading “Underestimated”

I testify to God’s faithfulness.
And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, “The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness….” -Exodus 34:6, NIV When I was going through my divorce from my cheater, the future looked extremely bleak on the employment front for me. I was SOOO close to giving up on … Continue reading “I testify to God’s faithfulness.”
A good distraction
When I was heading for my divorce and then recovering from it, I had some wonderful friends who helped distract me from the pain. It was a gift. I hope you have a true friend or two who does that for you as well. Sometimes, we need a break from the grief work. That is … Continue reading “A good distraction”
