If anyone has kept up with my story,you've seen me run the gauntlet of emotions....depression,fear,worry,anger (my latest one)...I even posted my aggravation of my long battle on my blog _ got some very self rightous criticism....even inspiring a fellow blogger @GregMerrill



to launch his own blog trying to shame mine,use my situation I've been having,point out how wrong I am for feeling the way I do!! WITHOUT MY PERMISSION keep in mind.... How very "Christ like" right? Anyway,I digress,I've been feeling angry at god about some things so I spent some time breaking myself into reading about the things I've been experiencing & I'm making peace with some things I think! I have alot of work to do,so keep praying for me,but I'm thankful God is patient & loves me. I hope he keeps working on me. Thank you Lord. I love you Jesus!

The only thing that I can say about this is that you must stay single for the sake of the Kingdom of God. I don't have the exact quotation but I know exactly what the Bible says regarding divorce. Stay strong and pray often. God bless. (I got that from your status.)

Other than that, again, pray and pray and pray...

This is regrettable. I hope you two can pray for each other and work it out - although there is a lot on your plate at present and I understand if you can't.
I really hope so too. I guess I shouldn't have fired back at him like I did. Lord forgive me for it too. Thank you for your kind words

So how do you figure I must stay single for God's kingdom?

This is a tough issue, but I think the answer to it is to come experientially close to Christ.

What I mean is, when you feel close to Christ, you won't feel lonely. You feel satisfied and that's it - no need for anything else.

That seems like a long stretch, but it really isn't all that odd. If you work on getting closer to Him, it is doable. I'm a very young man, but because of His mercy, I can tell you I've experienced this for myself.

I don't have any experience with divorce, but I am getting over a breakup and can relate somewhat on that account - though I do not dare to compare my troubles to your own.

Perhaps right now isn't the time to think about this - you have a lot of things to work through, especially between you and God. Work on getting closer to Him, and then think about this - it isn't prudent to think of being alone when your heart is stooped low and your spirit is crushed, nor is it prudent to think of such a decision when in such dire need. I think it's best left off for a time when you're able to prayerfully consider it and receive guidance.

Pray to God with a hundred percent open mind, willing to do whatsoever He reveals to you, and see how things go. Please also do pray "without wrath"! Hahaha.

"A father to the fatherless, and a defender of widows, is the Lord in His Holy Habitation."
(Psalm 68:5)
