No, I am not saying that at all. Everyone has a right to their own opinion, but why discount someone else's, especially when they are expressing it on their own thread and not pushing it onto others? Ali has said over and over that she does not believe in the ability of prayer to affect change. Well, I am walking proof that prayer can affect change--God has changed me so much over the last year, as I submitted myself to Him through prayer and allowed Him to do His will in my life. Even though there are others who do not agree with me, they at least support my position--which you have done, even while expressing your own views.
I once believed the maxim "once a cheater, always a cheater". I believed that people who committed adultery were unredemptive. I now see things differently. I have met and read of people that God has transformed when they finally realized the harmful choices they were making and submitted themselves to the will of God. Some people get it sooner than others do. Some never get it. Some have to lose everything to realize what they had to begin with. But, all will know the Glory of God on the day of judgement.
I have made a decision, unpopular or not. I am standing for my marriage and for the covenant vow I made before God. That is my choice and it is what God has called me to do. I struggled with this decision, especially back around the holidays. I wanted to know what was in it for me, why I had to be the one to stand, why me and my children had to work through this pain.
God's glory will be magnified through this and His power and strength made clear to all that I bear witness to. there is someone in MLC whose signature says "there can be no testimony without a test." This is the test that God has called me to take and I am trying to learn the lessons needed to get through it.
Living God's blessings with grace and dignity~ SMW
