DIVORCE OR GOD'S WAY

Well, this will be an off the cuff "blog" thought, so bear with me,folks. This is something that ways heavily on my mind, so I am speaking from the heart,with no notes!
...........Sometime, back in my early married life,I thought I could never stay married to the man I am still with.There was just "no way".I spoke with my Pastor, at the time, and he gave me 3 choices.
1.I could get a divorce, which was scripturally unsound;
2.I could stay in this marriage, and be miserable,or
3.I could stay in this marriage, and learn to be content!
............Now, this was advice, given to me, for my situation, and even though I didn't like what I was hearing, I knew, if God said it, and felt strongly about it,I needed to follow it, so I chose the latter! It wasn't easy, but I decided right then and there, to take my eyes off of myself, and place them on God, and God alone. I prayed for Him to change my husband............Well, He did some changing alright, but not on my husband! He changed me!!! He worked on my attitude, and before I knew it,I was wanting to "do" for my husband, all the things I didn't want to "do" before.
I am so glad, that I did, because it is now, almost 32 years later with this dear man, and I can't imagine my life with out him! So, if you are thinking about doing this same thing, you young women......just think about it! Don't do it! Ask God to redirect your attitudde and stay focused on The One Who Won't Let You Down.............
