The longer I live, the more I appreciate the goodness that is expressed in God's principles and its applicability to us.
Please don't get me wrong, I am not standing pointing my fingers at anyone because I am divorced and would point my fingers fiirst at myself. It's this life that we live in and the sin that permeates everything on earth. Back to my point - the longer I live, the more I recognize God's goodness. God hates divorce - broken homes - because it undermines His good intentions for us. Here you are with children desiring a mate and the opportunity to experience life the way God intended you to (with someone who loves you and whom you love, etc..) and up come those issues that you are currently facing. Bummer - sin has really messed up this world but, thank God, it's only for an appointed time. Know this - God knows how to restore and use everything for our good.
amen, and thank you for this~The longer I live, the more I appreciate the goodness that is expressed in God's principles and its applicability to us.

That's what I think, too; thanks, sis!!I'm sorry Barb![]()
Even though you know it is for the best I'm sure it still hurts and is disappointing...![]()
Your children are a wonderful gift and blessing and there is a man out there for you who will accept ALL of you and feel blessed to become a part of your family.
I'm praying for you![]()
I'm getting an awful lot of hugs from you, sis; lol.Barb

Well....update....we broke up today.
Over my kids, of course, but hey....I would rather know it now. He cannot overcome that feeling of not wanting them, so he admitted it.
I am so glad he was honest and let me know now.
I am really okay; not angry or sad.
My kids do mean more than that to me. I can't imagine anyone who does not love kids.
Yeppers!!his loss, to lose a wonderful woman with 4 great kiddos!
I know it!!I hope you'll be OK, Barb. The good part about this is that God has someone or something better in store for you.
How cool is that?

I hate to hear that BUT God's timing is perfect (even when we don't think so). I am glad that God opened that line of communication now so you will know before your heart was even more involved.Well....update....we broke up today.

=Must be a shaggy haired male with a collar. And I'm not talking about a dog.You won't hear that from me, Hon. I am humbled by my own comedy of uncontrollable romantic dilemmas to face right now.
Such things are out of our hands and most certainly everyone else's.
