It's Time to Sing a Brand New Song

[KdogGS]

Mimi, you really did a nice thing by sending her the cookware set. That speaks volumes about your character, even in the middle of your situation, you're showing love to others. That's quite a testimony and actions do speak louder than your words ever would.

I did just want to touch on being able to find someone else. You will have no trouble. I can hear in your posts just how much you have grown. It may take more time before you look forward to meeting someone else, but you will take the skills you've learned through this process to make an awesome second relationship.

I went out with about 5 women before I found one that I felt a connection with. Nothing has happened with her, but I felt like I needed to at least meet someone to give me hope that there would be life after divorce. Our WAS are not the same people we married, nor are we, the LBS, the same person that they married. It's really important to me that I find someone that knows how difficult it is to work on a relationship and especially a marriage, and that they won't just bail in hard times. I know so much more of what to ask for now, how to communicate, and how to deal with conflict. I believe you have learned all these things too.

We have no control over our situations, but I believe you have responded beautifully to the position you were thrust into, and you will overcome. The sermon series at my church right now is about the Promised Land, it's shown online if you want to watch it. It's regarding the Israelites deliverance from Egypt, wandering in the wilderness for 40 years, and then finding the Promised Land. In a Gallup poll, only 13% of Christians felt like they were living in the Promised Land. This series is about leaving the past behind and focusing on the future and reaching your proverbial Promised Land while on this earth. This is the Oak Hills Church series led by Max Lucado, you can watch online, you may get a benefit out of the series.

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers! Stay strong.
