Good I wish you many enjoyable moments to use it.. lots of good weather and friends to visit and celebrate life with...

 

[peacechild4]

My life has been difficult lately.. lol.. I got a second hand car not long ago.. ignition won't start.. off road.. already.. borrowing my parents car AGAIN.. my oven stopped working.. they won't have a part for it for another two weeks..
My sisters marriage is failing.. she was down here in our state for a couple of weeks to have family support.. my dad is heavily depressed and I go to court Monday for the divorce.. thankfully my mother who was going to travel to Qld this week because of my dads health is now able to come to court with me.. I cannot hear enough to cope on my own.. plus its not an easy day anyway..

So there it is.. but I still try to stay cheery.. and upbeat.. praying.. encouraging that sort of thing.. I do thank GOD for people GOD places in my path that have been encouraging me and praying..

(((Hugs))) to all my mature single friends.. if your life is hard.. I know how you feel..

PC .. I pray you have peace thru this next week and that your stove and car get fixed.

 

[memoriesbymichelle]

Are you doing any better PC?

 

[peacechild4]

I am ok.. lots of love coming my way and even Justin my husband is writing very amazing things.. it just seems in every possible way this is right.. feeling very special.. my stove gets fixed today.. after school.. YAY.. thanks to both of you for your messages and support..

Look what one sister in the LORD wrote in reply to my husband... lol.. yes I wrote personally on face book but ohhh the thing with GOD is.. even our weaknesses are used by HIM.. my husband and many people wrote to me.. and what Justin said was very heartfelt.. he never talked like this when we were together so GOD is even working now.. I mean how amazing is this... this being a response one of my christian friends wrote back to Justin..

And "yes, I agree, Sharon didn't "fail", and truth be told, neither did you, you just were not wanting that in your life...so, it's good for each person to just accept the relationship "outgrew" the "pot"...has to be divided and potted into two separated pots!

 

[dayhiker]

That pot reference is a good analogy. I like it. I've seen it in my own life, once a relationship starts a pattern of behavior is created (the pot) and its very hard to change that pattern, its like a pot holding us in.

 

[peacechild4]

It is isn't it.. It helps me so much..

 

[hope_is_last_to_die]

WOW Peace Im so happy for you that you and Justin maybe will get back together again, this is so wonderful

 

[peacechild4]

Ha.. no Hope.. well not that I know about.. he is just good friends.. perhaps best relationship we have had for many years.. just looks like it will be not in marriage.. I know it is confusing to you and me.. and everyone else.. but the peacechild you know is at peace.. and all is good..

 

[hope_is_last_to_die]

Aww Peace so nice that your relationship is the best now for years and this Im sure will lead to you both getting back together again. Its wonderful to see how God restores broken marriage relationships. God bless you and Justin!

 

[peacechild4]

I go to court on Monday brother over our divorce.. its not getting back together.. not that I know..

 

[peacechild4]

I guess I can be honest here.. but it stinks.. I know we have a good relationship.. and I know I am doing the right thing right now.. but its still hard.. last night he invited me for a meal.. he has the kids.. but he was drinking and very friendly.. and its hard because I am human.. and well the head says one thing and the heart another.. I hugged and kissed him.. but left.. sigh.. in my heart thats really really dumb.. but you know we can have great times.. but then I go home.. and wait all week.. and I cannot talk to him about GOD at all.. and I love GOD.. I know you mean well Hope to say these things.. but could you not say them.. because I wanted those things with him a very very long time.. but now it seems GOD is taking us both a different direction.. you are welcome to pray it.. thats ok.. just not say it.. because although we have been apart as husband and wife for almost two years.. and we are divorcing.. I still care about him and have feelings..

 

[hope_is_last_to_die]

Peace you are a precious sister and I hear your heart but I seem to get the feeling that you hope as I do that your marriage will be restored and there is still time for this. You are a brave sister and a great mother God specialises in restoring broken relationships, there is true hope precious one

Well I hope you are making lots of money for all that overtime.. and you get a really nice holiday soon...

Until the government takes most of it! I volunteered to work the fourth of July holiday. I worked 10.5 hours that day. My gross earnings(double time) for that day was $911.00 dollars. I only took home about an extra $247.00 last payday. NOW, I know why they call it "Gross." It is gross what the government does to your paycheck. FICA stands for Funds I Cannot Access. Yes,Jesus said that we should give to Ceasar,( when asked about paying taxes) the things that belongs to Ceasar. However Jesus did not say that we had to like paying taxes. Believe me,I would pay 20% of my income to tithes if I did not have to pay any income tax. The income tax should be abolished.There should be a 15% sales tax on all products. If that was the case,NOBODY would get away with paying little or no taxes.

this week for you PC. I will be praying for you - God Bless!

 

[peacechild4]

Thank you... I am feeling your prayers and those of many.. I went to court today and even though I was really nervous it all went ok.. my mother came with me.. and although the paper work isn't official till a month.. I am through the worst of it and I guess I am now divorced.. one of the things she said is I cannot get married for the next month.. as if... I suppose some might be wanting to marry again.. it has been almost two years so thats possible again now I suppose..

I have the best possible relationship with my ex which is a blessing.. there was rainbow in the sky on the way home today.. the first time I went to a legal meeting and filled for divorce there was a rainbow in the sky too..

One bad thing though that happened today is my dad went to hospital.. not sure if I have shared that though.. with all the family stress.. my marriage.. my sister and family having troubles etc.. my dad is not good mentally.. and had to be hospitalized.. my mother was quite upset but still managed to come with me today..
Thank you friends here for supporting me.. My son Conner just made me a hot drink.. and also set up internet on my lap top.. so i am in bed writing this.. aww.. I am so blessed despite everything that has been happening..

 

[dayhiker]

PC -- good to hear things went well.

I've heard of other couples that got a long a lot better once they were divorced. I pray that continues.

 

[memoriesbymichelle]

Glad it went well PC sorry about your dad . Will keep him in our prayers and you as well. My mom never wanted a divorce either but still got one and still had a life afterward. Be careful of your choices in life now and let God lead and guide you as you are right now and you will be fine.
