My Divorce-erary

One year ago, we celebrated Earth Day. One year ago, a judge signed a legal document severing my marital relationship.

What a lot has changed! Since then, Sunchips unrolled a new bag that is made of vegetable fibers and decomposes when trashed. My life got trashed, composted, and grew new fiber.

Divorce is never a happy thing and I am in NO WAY promoting it, but I can now see how much better off I am now. My relationships with people are genuine and built on truth. Closer then they ever were before because my ex was my best friend and I didn’t really have time for anyone else. My children are thriving like I never thought possible. My bills are still getting paid.

Thank you, God, for caring me through this year. For sending people with food, money, or tender fingers to wipe away my tears. I love You, Lord!

    What a wonderful testimony of God’s grace and mercy through a very un-ideal time for you, Christina. I know you wouldn’t have wanted things to go that way, but your transparency and faith have encouraged me so much this year. May God continue to bless and provide for you!

    I have a close friend who is struggling with this decision. She’s of the mind to make her husband go through with the procedure, but I feel this is something she must not forsake on her own accord. I understand her position, but the marriage was such, that her life was in peril. I’m praying she comes to a clear understanding on what to do, or that her husband goes through with it to save her the trouble.

    Hi Christina –

    This may mark the first year since the legal divorce was signed, but you went through many years of the relationship being torn.

    You’ve done so well. I’ve marveled at your attitude and assurance that you did the right thing.

    You’re an inspiration to many that God can bring you through anything.

    Blessings,
    Susan 🙂

    Christine:
    Praise the Lord for holding you close as you advanced through the rocky time of uncertainty. He didn’t abandon you and your children.
