People say to pray for a Godly spouse. I did. I prayed my whole life for one actually. I truly prayed to my depths, but I think back, and all we can do is the best we know to do at the time.
I was coming out of not one divorce, but two. Yeah that one is hard to say. The first one lasted 10 years and the second, two months. I was already a complete failure at marriage- but that didn’t mean I wasn’t a Christian. I was. Truly. So if someone can say you won’t go through “certain things” if you are serving God, they are completely wrong, and haven’t seen their life trial yet. I believe we all have one, or four, and no telling how many more that I will see, that shake to the core.
Back to where I was going with this- I was four years out of my blink of an eye marriage, and I started going to Bible study. There was a nice man I met, and all my close friends thought he was so kind and he actually asked me out. I just “knew” it was from God. Here’s my verse I questioned- Mathew 9:11 “or if he asks for fish, he will not give him a snake, will he?”
I mean I has my preacher swear to me, by the way it came about, that God for sure put us together. And yes, I look back on it now, and God did- He doesn’t make mistakes, but it certainly wasn’t for the reason I had hoped. However looking back one day, I’m sure I’m going to thank Him. That will be a glorious day for me!
Love,
