Hey guys, first I want to say that I am very thankful that somehow I found this group, you don't know how many times you guys gave me a word of encouragement that touch my heart and made me get on with my day, and for that and for many more things I'm thankful. So here is my update, I wanted to write it many weeks ago but I didn't feel like it was time. God spoke to me on a video that one of my closest friend from church show me, the video was not intended for me but somehow I watched it. The video was about a Christian man that said that if a relationship has failed and if the other person doesn't love you God has someone better for you, and don't get me wrong if God spoke to your heart that you should wait for your husband/wife then please do not give up, but I prayed and Fasted and God gave me Strength to take the decision to stop standing for my marriage, that he has someone that will never leave, that will love me for who I am, and that it will bring me closer to Him. As for my wife we are waiting on my resident card so I can't really divorce her now, hopefully I get it in less than 3 months and then I can move on. As of now I'm not dating or talking to anyone, I am alone with God. As for my wife I believe she is still with the person from her old job. And she told me once that she tried to stop seeing him but that she could not. So I've been this way for a few weeks now, I'll be here with you guys because I believe this group is not only about marriage restoration but as a group of people who love God and help each other in all ways possible. I love you guys!!

Leandro - you certainly need to follow the path that God lays before you. I heard a Christian missionary speak several months back, could be the same one you saw, in which he advocates that God will honor your divorce and send you someone new. He has remarried and has children. I know several Christian couples at my church who are in their 2nd even 3rd marriages, as are many of my family members. I will not judge you - because first off, I'm not God - it's not up to me to judge anyone. And second, I don't know what the right answer is for everyone. I know what God has spoken to me, and what He continues to speak to me every time I ask Him to release me from my marriage, and let me tell you, I've asked dozens of times in the last 4 years. I'm on some Facebook groups where there are people adamant that only the first marriage is the Covenant and that all other marriages will ultimately fail - while others argue that certain circumstances will release you and the new marriage becomes the covenant. I don't know what is right - but what I do know is that God has a plan just for you! Continue to seek His will for your life and He will guide you where He wants you to go. Please don't leave the group though, we're a group of diverse people who are supporting each other through life, much more than through restoration. Praying for you my friend. ~ Pat

This is good to hear brother. When you are describing that person God has for you - someone that will never leave you. Someone that will love you for who you are, someone that will draw you closer to the Lord. Brother you are paused now for at least 3 months. Please take this time to spend time with that person you have described - your Lord. He loves you so much for who you are that He willingly died for you, so you could live. He will never leave you - not even in the darkest moments. He wants to draw you closer to Himself. Just take this time to really press in! I will be praying for you brother and am so relieved to hear that you have Gods peace finally in all this. He has a plan! It's much bette then yours! You can trust it

By the way, I agree with Pat. I read a devotion talking about an "Ephesus" - a church. A group of people who gather in the name of the Lord. You are a crucial part of our church and your journey, whether Gods plan is restoration of your marriage or to establish a new one, either way, you experience is necessary for someone else's insight. Please don't go anywhere brother.

I agree with Pat and Sharon, Leandro. God has different and perfect plans for all of us but I hope you stay in the group! Whatever the future holds for you, we can meet it together in prayer.
