I ask for prayers for Thursday afternoon around 2:30 PM EST. I am supposed to go by her lawyer's office to sign paperwork. Once it is signed as far as the government is concerned the divorce will be final as of June 6th. This isn't what I want to happen, but I feel God telling me that it has to. I need strength, guidance, and peace that his will be done, not mine...

Brother Eric & Sister TK
I wish I had a great verse to say, or words that could ease the pain your feeling. You and I are many miles apart but know this I am feeling every single emotion you have at this moment as well as tomorrow when you go to the lawyer. When I had to do it 3 1/2 months ago it was hard...very hard.
God led me to k-love in the beginning of my stand as he led each of us. He then was behind the creation of this site and blessed with with many great brothers and sisters. God is feeling the pain 10fold of what your having to do, we all feel it. Our brothers and sisters on here with God being the force helped me thru that pain and we are going to do the same for you.
Remember Peter said "Lord if it is you command me to come out on the water" so He said "come". Peter stepped out or into the unknown out of faith, just as you are stepping into the unknown by signing the paperwork. My brother while it will be hard and you will have fear, but know that not only in your thoughts, your heart, from the depths of your soul and most of all your faith you will be ok for God would not allow you to be lost. Just as he saved Peter when the winds picked up & began to sink remember Jesus stretched out his hand & caught him and said "O you of little faith, why do you doubt?"
God will be with you both my brother & sister as will all of us thru thoughts and prayers. I love y'all, keep your head up & I will be praying my friends.

Eric & Tk,
Lastnight I couldn't sleep well, I laid in bed crying and praying all I could muster up to pray was "God please hear, we are hurting." Today I got up my heart is so heavy, and I have been fighting back tears and nausea, because of what you have to go thru today. The unknown process that we must face / go thru, all this temporary pain & agony, honestly I hate it...I hated having to go thru it and hate it just as much that you have to go thru it. My body is at work today, but my mind/thoughts, prayers and heart is with each of you. All I do know is that God is good, and he will be with you both. I love you both my brother and sister...

Hi there! You all are so awesome! Just reading these posts has helped so very much...thank you all. Its been a sad day. A lot of tears. Today was 1st court appearance. ..kinda weird but they said they would set final decree date and they never did. I would love to think of that as a praise, but Dana's heart is so set and hard. I feel like he hates me. It feels like he divorced me many years ago in his heart.
After court we talked briefly in the parking lot....valuations, logistics. I complained that all of this is falling in my lap and that's not fair to me because I'm not the one who wants out. He'll probably pull the the martyr " i don't want any of the stuff" card, but I'm not buying. The lord has blessed us beyond our financial dreams over the years, and i mentioned that. I think we've been good stewards of God's money.
Anyway, we only have a few weekends to sort all this out. My 50th is in 2 weeks, and i just want out of town. Don't want a big party (which my family will try to throw anyway). Im sad, im in a different place right now.
Anyway, thank you all for your prayers and well wishes! It truly brings tears knowing how much you care.

God is so good,
God is so good,
God is so good,
He’s so good to me!
He cares for me,
He cares for me,
He cares for me,
He’s so good to me!
I love Him so,
I love Him so,
I love Him so,
He’s so good to me!
I praise His Name,
I praise His Name,
I praise His Name,
He’s so good to me!
I have just been singing this today. It sucks. It's so hard. None of us want this burden. But isn't God just so good anyways. Even when everything is falling apart and all that we had is crumbling in front of us, God is so good.

Yesterday was hard, I would feel like an elephant was on my chest and it was hard to breathe and I would ask God for strength, and he gave it. Back and forth like that for most of yesterday morning. We had a graduation ceremony on campus yesterday morning as well, and as IT we help out with the sound system during these type events. So, my emotions and nerves were on 11 already. I leave @ 2 in order to be at the lawyers office by 2:30 and I am praying, crying, and listening to klove on the way there.
I get to the office and the lady I spoke with had me read over the paperwork. It is indescribable seeing the wording used to legally sever a marriage. Lawyers use legal speak anyway to make everything as impersonal as possible, and to have that cold language be the legal word, is jar-ing. I teared up reading it, and she had to take me to another office to have it notarized. As we were walking over, she looked at me and asked if I was having a rough day. I assume she could see it on my face, but the question took me aback. Here is the paperwork to legally end a marriage and she asks if I am having a bad day, like she was surprised by this. I just closed my eyes, took a breath and told her, I didn't want this to happen. She just says, "Oh..." and keeps on walking to the other office. I sign the paperwork and pray to God that I am doing the right thing. She said they would mail me a copy, and gave me a copy of some of the paperwork. Said, it would be painless, and I would get a letter in the mail when it was completed... As my eyes are brimming over with tears, and I turn to walk back to my car. My world teetering and rocking.
I break out in full on crying in my car, at a loss. I run by a Taco Bell to grab some food on my way back to work, tears still rolling down my cheeks. The drive thru lady, just went on about her world. The traffic around me as I ate and drove back went on about their day.
As I got back to campus, a kind of numbness came over me. I went about my day. The only thing I heard from my wife yesterday as telling me that she verified with the lawyers for me to be there at 2:30, and she texted around 4 asking if I went... I replied with, yes. It was all I could muster and my world broke again in those 3 letters...
Today, I have cried, my whole body aches, I have worn a mask today. A few people at work know of my situation, but not many..
I know in my head, that God is going to fix this. I have to hold to the truth that if he called me to stand he will see me through it, but my broken, little boy inside me asks, "What if he didn't call me... What if it is just me not wanting to let go." I have to believe either way, he will be right here beside me to guide me through. God is good, even when it hurts.
