Pamila, I have been posting over on Hopefulness. Filed for D on April 1st. Got a signed settlement agreement two weeks before that -- expect the final decree in about a month or so from now. I feel oddly at peace. I do think STBXH is on a path which is taking him away from God, away from his spiritual center, and, if it makes any sense, I will always stand for my M -- but from the sidelines, so I can avoid the coming trainwreck! In that sense, the D finally feels OK for me.
I was continuing my reading in Proverbs and read this section of Proverbs 14:
Quote:
7Leave the presence of a fool, Or you will not discern words of knowledge. 8The wisdom of the sensible is to understand his way, But the foolishness of fools is deceit. 9Fools mock at sin, But among the upright there is good will. 10The heart knows its own bitterness, And a stranger does not share its joy. 11The house of the wicked will be destroyed, But the tent of the upright will flourish.
and,
24The crown of the wise is their riches, But the folly of fools is foolishness. 25A truthful witness saves lives, But he who utters lies is treacherous.
Makes me think that God wants me to associate with those who are not fools, who know His way and path. There is comfort there.
