Hi everyone... I haven't been around in a while. Been sick and busy with school. I got divorce papers in the mail from my husband today. I'm very confused by this since we met up recently, had a really good talk, and he opened up about a lot of things. He was still harping on me getting my license and I told him I was going to try at the beginning of November to get it, which is next week. So I'm very confused by him sending me the papers. I want to question about it but I'm just waiting for the right words. Please pray for me. I'm really at a loss and in shock right now. Thank you. I'm still thinking of you all.

Praying for you Lindsey !!! God is in control !! Remember that. I wanna share something with you. My husband is finally home, he moved back 3 weeks ago, but let me tell you, one of my husband requirements to move in with me was to find a new place to live, he didn't wanna live in our old apartment plus we had many issues with it too so I started looking for new places 6 months ago. I couldn't find anything so I prayed to God, I poured my heart to Him, I even told Him the date I needed to be in the new place, see my pastor told me I should be telling God what I need in details and talk to Him like I talk to my friends .., well I did just that and God delivered I found the place more like the place came to me mid August. We signed the lease in September, but my husband still had one more month on his lease. The enemy was working overtime, September was a challenging month for us, it's both of our birthdays, the stress of moving plus my husband's friends telling my husband not to move in with me but at the end God brought my husband back home and his friends that don't like me, helped him move back in. See God was in control all this time !! See even the people that tried to stop him from doing it, ended up helping us. God will do the same with you !!! He will fight your battles for you !! Just trust in Him. Sorry for the long text but I had to tell you this. I love this group!! sorry for not being so active but I will from now, I'm still unpacking few things as I write this !!!

Wow Erika, thank you for that amazing testimony! I'm so happy things have turned around for you. God is definitely in control. I'm just in shock over thr papers coming... I honestly didn't expect them and I don't know what to do about them. My mom says I should just sign them and move on. That doesn't feel right though. I want to ask my husband what is going on but I just can't find the words. I'm totally heartbroken over this but I'm not giving up. The weird thing about the papers is... my middle name is spelled wrong... he knows how to spell it ha. Anyways, thank you again for sharing your story Erika, it gives me hope!

Lindsey I strongly suggest you pray over these papers. Pray for guidance from the Lord and that His will be revealed to you. Many of you went through it with me earlier in the year when I felt God calling me to give the divorce papers to Chris and I didn't want to do it and it seemed backwards, because God has promised restoration for us. But I was faithful and got the papers together and I remember parking on the side of the road and just pouring prayer over them. That God's will would be done in this, that He would give me guidance and the strength to do what he had called me to do, and that the words and actions that came from me would be straight from Him. The short version of the story is that when I gave the papers to Chris, it was eye opening for him and he realized how deeply he has wounded our family, to the point that God was allowing me to end it when Chris knew this whole time I did not want that. That was the first day I saw a real change in Chris. He came to church. He started praying privately to God. He asked me to pray over his office and over our home. He's started allowing me to pray out loud for him before he goes to work. He even stops everything he is doing and waits while I pray until I am finished. He doesn't slow down for anything else in our lives. And God used the divorce papers to begin all of that. Lindsey, I don't know God's plan here for these papers, but I know you need to sit down and pray over them. Ask God for guidance in your actions and words. Ask what His will is, ask him to use you how He chooses to, and trust Him when he gives you an answer, even if it's not the answer you want or it doesn't make logical sense to you. If you trust Him, He will lead you and use you. I am praying for you sister, for wisdom and God's guidance. For peace in your heart. No matter what, remember the hope He has given you. His plan is restoration. Even if it means divorce first, in the end there is hope.

Hey Sharon, thank you so much for sharing your story. I'm bawling over here. You're exactly right though. I'm praying and will continue to pray over the papers and trust God and whatever he has planned for us. I just wish I knew why my husband went ahead with them since everything was fine when we met up a month ago. I'm too afraid to ask him. I'm so broken down and feeling defeated but I'm trying to pick myself up. I'm so grateful for this group!

Lindsey, you may not remember my story but Dana had come over several times threatening to file and then one day he actually did he filed on Good Friday this year.
I was stunned and heartbroken. Dana needed to resolve matters in his own heart and that was his way of doing it. But God used that situation and time to begin to work on Dana. I was supposed to be divorced on July 26th and I'm not because Dana came by two nights before to tell me he misses his best friend and wants to try counseling. That's God and action!
Encourage you to stay in prayer and be strong... God's got this
I'm Praying for you!

1The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,
because the Lord has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners,a
2to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor
and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,
3and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of joy
instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the Lord
for the display of his splendor.
Isaiah 61:1-3

Yano, I woke up that way this morning too.. it's a demonic spirit trying to get dominion in our life! We have to stop the evil spirits by digging into Gods word & staying in prayer.
