Today my husband filed for divorce and we said our final goodbye's. As hard and sad as today was, I'm trying not to focus on the things I can't control... and be thankful for everything this experience has given me. I have grown and changed a lot over the last two months, and I'm so thankful for every lesson God has taught me and for the strength and peace he has given me which has helped me to accept everything that happened today.
I now rely on God for things which I use to rely on others for. Things like happiness, comfort, reassurance and validation. I'm not saying that I don't love the support of my friends... but I know that if I am discontent another person's words aren't going to change that, only God can.
I am no longer happy for what I have (a husband, home, money and comfort), because I have lost all of those things. Instead I am happy because of who I am, a daughter to the most wonderful Father. A Father who loves me, wants me and created me just the way I am for his purpose.
Good things have returned to being good things, not GOD things. Money is God's, my relationships and friendships are God's and everyone of them is a blessing from him. And God has returned to being the ultimate authority over my life, no one has more importance than him... and that's something I've never been able to say before.
you've got some great wisdom in those words. as sad and tough as that situation is, it sounds like you have the best possible perspective on it.
