Hi my people, so I didn'te get to journal yesterday since I was too busy enjoying the nice weather here in NYC. So today makes it officially a week since I have go no contact with H. And so far so good. One week down and many more to go.
Yesterday afternoon H went on his calling fiasco again and mind you he never calls on Sundays which I always figured he was too busy with you know who. Anyway, he was calling my cell and home and I just didn't answer. Finally he left a message and I'm practicing not getting to his messages right away so I waited til later in the night to check it. His message as expected was a bit nasty telling me that I'm acting childish by not answering the phone and he can't take this nonesense. So I of course didn't respond and this morning at about 6:45 I texted him only the last part of my text from last week saying
Me: Until u r ready to make final decisions pl just text me regarding building stuff. Thx for understanding. H: I am not going to waste my time thank you. I just want my tax. Me: I will leave ur w2 @ the bldg & will test u when I get a chance to. Pl continue to transfer the $ to pay YOUR bills. Thx.
And that was it. I think I did well. And I am not at all asking him to "waste" his time. Anyway, I'm still staying strong so far. I read the new Steve Harvey book today that was saying that men cheat because there is no penalty and it got me thinking. You know, I have never really penalize my H for what he has done. It also talks about setting your reqirements and either having you mate meet them and if not, not engaging with them. So I think I'm on the right track and have been praying to God to give me strength to stay on track. This is actually the first time I think I am telling no showing my H that its not OK.
So everyone else is doing well considering their sitch will try to comment on others today if work is slow. All the best and here's some inspiration for today....
He Works All Things Together
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE “And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them” (Romans 8:28, NLT).
TODAY'S WORD from Joel and Victoria Everyone goes through things that don’t seem to make sense. It’s easy to get discouraged and wonder, “Why did this happen to me?” “Why did this person treat me wrong?” “Why did I get laid off?” But we have to understand, even though life is not always fair, God is fair. And He promises to work all things together for good for those who love Him.
I believe the key word is this verse is “together.” In other words, you can’t just isolate one part of your life and say, “Well, this is not good.” “It’s not good that I got laid off.” “It’s not good that my relationship didn’t work out.” Yes, that’s true, but that’s just one part of your life. God can see the big picture. That disappointment is not the end. Remember, when one door closes, God has another door for you to walk through—a better door. Those difficulties and challenges are merely stepping stones toward your brighter future. Be encouraged today because God has a plan for you to rise higher. He has a plan for you to come out stronger. He has a plan to work all things together for your good so that you can move forward in the victory He has prepared for you!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY Heavenly Father, thank You for working all things together for my good. I choose to release any doubt, any frustration, any confusion over my past, and I choose to trust in You. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
