NET SUPPORT

I wanted to put a comment here that I left for a young man who had just separated and was in real anguish. When I looked at his picture on his page and looked into his eyes, I saw the same pain there that I saw in my own eyes when I faced separation after 25 years of marriage. I hope to make this group a real source of support for those who are in this position that most of us never dreamed of being in, and then found our selves there anyway.
This is the post.
I do know the place where you are at right now, because I have been there. Without going through all the details of my experience I want you to know that because you have come to this net. You are not alone in your suffering anymore. I know how hard it is to allow others to help you when you have been so wounded. You do not need me or any one to fix this problem right now, all you need to know is that someone cares about you. I remember the day my Pastor came to my house, just set with me half a day, and cried with me. I kept listening to this song by Keri Jobe that helped me make it through my pain.

It didn’t turn out the way I thought it would after almost 4 years now.
Am I back in my marriage? No. The divorce will be final this week.

Is there life after separation, divorce or the loss of a spouse? Yes!
But you can’t deal with it alone. You need some one to help you find a way through the maze of grief, and sorrow that some one goes through with any loss. Stand no more alone and find some support for yourself that you need so desperately.

Know that I will, and others here will pray that God will lead you to those who will help. God can handle your anger and disappointment and your grief. He is a very present help in time of need.


Maybe you are reading this and your heart is broken, you are feeling lost, and have lost your hope.

I pray that you might just share your story here and allow God to minister to you though others who love the Lord and have a compassionate heart. I realize through my own experience that I needed the members of the Body of Christ to help me in this journey.
My motto has become: STAND NO MORE ALONE.

2009 is ending on a positive note I think. A long time chatmate, I've known online for over two yeas, has expressed interest in me and told me that they have been an admirer from afar for avery long time. I am happy about this but reluctant a bit too. Maybe this christian lady is meant for me. Maybe not. It will require more prayer and fasting , and seeking God's guidance in this matter. But it''s good to know that I'll be ending 2009 with someone that appears to genuinely care about me. I feel blessed.

Hello Eustacia, it is so awfull when you try and try in a relationship when all the doors just keep on shuting, and prayer dont seem to be answered, perhaps there not answered because God has other long term plans then they will be answered in he's perfect timeing, you and i know through expereiance that there are no quick fixes from our awefull pain, bitterness, anger, hatred, but Eustacia there is light at the end of the tunnel, but we must stay on the train, namely Jesus, at the moment it is like a prision sentance, but know this Eustacia one day you will be released Amen, your brother in Christ Jesus..Paul

I wish I had some magic wand I could just wave and all the hurt and pain would go away instantly for all of us. The best thing is God. He is still working on me. It's that stinkin evil one that won't leave me alone. I have been in your shoes Becky. I know how you feel. Rejection is not a good thing to have to go through. I will pray that God will bless you with all you need. It will take time. Live one day at a time and don't do what I've done for 10 years now. Worry. I have finally gotten that out of my system for the most part. I back slide some times. I wish you peace in your heart. Don't let the evil one crack you into peices for as long as he has me. I have to constanly rebuke him. I've been reading alot of self help books by Joyce Meyer, Dr. Charles Stanley...etc. They are helping me to see myself. Anyway, I'm glad your here with us. We do care and understand. Bless you.....Maggie

hi bob this is very hard for me i ran from my firist husband and i did not realise the pain his actions and my reactions had caused. i remember him asking me to forgive him for he did not know what love was. I have been asked to call in on him and have a talk. i was very worried by this a tele him to ask why , he thinks he is dying and wants me to take care of his funneral arrangements he is 65, donna and eye always say he is a cup half empty, i know i should show more mercy i feel still angry with this man for he is still always thinking of himself. I NEED TO BE STRONG IN THE LORD JESUS and not in my anger towars him could you please ask the father for a prayer for me.i realise i am still in fear of this man and it is he that is sick and alone, i should not have the fear. and i need it to go away before i am able to help him.

Thank You Bob I receive this blessing in Jesus name Amen!

God Bless you. Mayra
Comment by Pastor Bob B on October 2, 2009 at 8:22pm
Mayra Vasquez I can tell that God has given you a compassionate heart in your whole process. God is so good and is full of mercy and compassion for all of us who mess us. He will turn our mess into a message when we give it all to him.

God bless you with his peace during this time in your walk with him.

In the love of Jesus
Bob
Comment by Pastor Bob B on October 2, 2009 at 8:17pm
Maggie Flagg You prove that the pain of divorce is hard to deal with even after many years. We all wish that we did things different, or better, but it is important to leave the past in the past and do not bring it into the present. It is much easier said, than done. After 28 years of marriage and three years of separation my divorce will be done by February. It was not my choice as my wife has turned from the Lord and has made the world her friend. My 3 children are adults which makes my situation easier to deal with, but my children are not walking with the Lord either and treat me like I am an outsider.

We must never compromise our stand for Christ because we are the life line for our children especially.

May God give you his continued pace and strength.

In the love of Jesus
Bob

I've been divorced for 10 years. It took me 5 to be able to stop crying. I know it's different for each of us. I guess it would be easier if my two grown daughters were in my life. They aren't of their own free will. I miss them so very much. I know I wouldn't be so depressed if they were in my life. It would of been easier all the way around. They at one point called me a "Bible Thumper" because I have a relationship with God. I agree with some of you that wish our society wouldn't look at marriage as a throw away institution. I didn't want to get divorced. I couldn't stop him. He was a non believer. So it was easier for him. My second mistake was not raising my children up to know God. Why I didn't still haunts me. I guess I was so "in-love" with him that I made him my God. I wish every day I had done things differently. I can't get those years back. All I can do is pray for God to draw them to him. I do have a hard time forgiving myself for that mistake. Yes, I know I shouldn't. God has forgiven me. But, as a mother, I failed to do what God wanted me to. Now they aren't in my life because of it. So...divorce is a hideous thing and the hurt goes on for a long time to everyone involved. It stinks, but that's the nature of the beast. I wish no one ever had to go through it. I was married for 22 years. 20 before he told me he wanted the divorce. It took 2 years for the legal stuff before it was finalized. It was my 1st marriage. I just hope God will let me find the love of a good godly man and a second marriage before I die. But, it's all in his plan. I just have to wait and see. I haven't had success with the two other relationships I've been in since my divorce. They failed not due to anything I did though. I don't tend to pick the right men. Anyway... I know we all are in the same boat. All we can do is trust in God and move on. It's not easy. Hang in there and pray alot. Life has to get better!!! At least I know God is making me a stronger and better human being!! Thank you Lord!! Bless all of you....Maggie

I've been seperated for 6 years now and that was the breaking point in my life...I went downhill instead of allowing God to guide me I left the door wide open for the enemy to come rite in and the rest is now history because thanks to God I finally found my way home it took me long enough and hurt myself as well as a lot of people I love dearly on this journey to distruction, but I thank God for helping me find a way out. I am currently in the process of Divorce and happy to talk about it. God allowed me to see what I was blinded to see and forgave and now I finally can move on with my life...God opened my eyes to the truth and I am soo grateful! If anyones needs to talk or just someone to listen I am here offering you all my support and just to share our trails together. Good Luck to everyone and God Bless. Remember God is the right way and nothing is impossible for Him, so regardless how u feel or where u are going remember to look for God and Trust in Him and He will provide! Amen.
