Sorry for my absence
I have spent much time in prayer, at work and with the kids over the past month. Due to the hard work that my partner, Alan, and I have put into the account, we have to date received triple the amount of work for our account at the company. Which is fabulous and could not be better timing as I am in need of things to keep my mind busy.
I met with a lawyer last Thursday about a divorce. I filled out all the necessary paperwork and gave it to her. She told me should would call in a few days to have me come back and sign the documents that were going to be filed with the court. Thursday was an emotionally draining day, the divorce is no doubt in the best interest of the children and myself, but no less, it is the hardest thing I have ever done. The lawyer called me Friday morning to tell me that the paperwork was ready to be signed. Just like that, just that quick.
I know that my hardest day has not arrived, and I pray for forgiveness and His grace through this process. I pray that my husband turns his life around, makes good choices, and above all can live a life for Christ. And my heart is still broken.
The boys have been told and they are OK. They know that the divorce is in no way their fault and has no bearing on my love for them or his love for them. And my heart is still broken.
I pray that God lead my footsteps down this very narrow path and bring me to His throne. Broken and battered is the way we approach it sometimes and I accept those conditions.
And my heart is still broken.
Please pray for Bill and I as we go down this road, that we put the well being of the boys ahead of our own wants and needs. Pray that our actions through this will be edifying to Christ in this worst situation that any can imagine in a marriage.
Pray that a broken heart be healed the way that only Christ knows how to heal.

Hey there - when your focus is on respecting ea h other, and acting like Christians, any divorce can be done reasonably - it doesn't have to be ugly. This is certainly not a decision that you made on the fly - I'm sure you adn the boys will be happier with a healthy new start. Sending prayers your way.
Oh honey I know your heart is broken and I so understand:**( I am praying that God just holds you close as you go through this.
Sarah,
I can feel your pain through your words...it's horrible. It sounds like we are about at the same place with this. I am in the process of filing, but I'm pregnant and in TX you can't finalize when you're pregnant. I know how hard it is when you're trying your hardest to be a christian, and yet you still feel very raw emotions that sometimes you don't know what to do with. I will definately be praying for you.
I amire the way you think of your children first. This no doubt may be the lesson that God wanted you to learn and by the sound of it have.
(hugs)
Sarah. I'm sad to read this. I'm sorry for your broken heart. God heals. God loves you. God loves your children and your husband.
Lifting all of you in prayer tonight.
Oh, sweetie, I wish I could be there to give you a big hug! I know how hard this is for you, but I must tell you, you are one of my heroes. I am so proud of the woman and mother you've become.
You are always in my prayers and in my heart.
I just wanted you to know you have been on my heart and I am praying for you {{{{{{{{}}}}}}}}} I know this is hard and it hurts so bad but let God hold you...you are NOT alone.
Sarah where are you?? I am getting worried about you:-(
