God has brought me through a storm. He has shown me His glory in so many ways. After 20 years of marriage, two beautiful boys, and what felt like it was a great life, I was faced with the infidelity of my husband.
My life was turned upside down. The carpet was pulled out from under me. There was no longer any sense or direction or purpose. At times I thought it didn’t even matter if I lived or died. I was hopeless. Lost.
I was blessed to be attending a church at that time where many were ready and willing to come alongside me and walk with me through the storm. They spoke about how God was working in my life and how He was going to get me through this. They told me my life would be glorious again. They were so sure of this that I had to believe them!
I came to understand they had the joy of the Lord. Gradually, as I prayed, and cried out to the Lord, I started to see and experience that Joy. Small things at first, flowers started to be beautiful again.
I was seeking Him and was showing me His goodness. He constantly put people in my path that uplifted me and helped move forward and heal.
Slowly, what was in the dark came into the light. The log was removed from my eye, and I felt transformed.
A part of my journey and healing occurred in my Divorce Care community. Now, and probably as long as I’m alive on this earth, I am able to pay forward with facilitating Divorce Care in my current church. This allows me to come alongside others in their storms, witness to others about God‘s goodness, cry with them, and give them hope that they too will have a better life ahead. God is working.
