Moving On

I feel a huge sense of Peace, Abundance, Joy and Hope...
for over four years I knew no peace.
joy, at times. hope, at times. abundance, never.

Now, being free of a terrible marriage for 7 months now, I can breath freely.
I am no longer tolerating life, I am living it!
I can now celebrate life around and within me.

I can once again hope for the seemingly impossible.
I can believe once again that the purest of hearts loves me.

It says somewhere in Proverbs that people perish for lack of vision. that was me. no vision. no hope.

I am eternally grateful that God has plucked me from a destructive life and given me immense hope and PLEASURE to once again be alive and kicking. The "alive" being joy of life, the "kicking" being the angst to indulge myself with hope and to ensure others experience it as well.

I expect greatness now. I expect my little life will be an instrument for Him to use.

May I be useful for the children of this world. May I be a light for women who suffer as I have suffered.

Amen.

Hello...Jack...
you inquired recently about one of the pieces I have on my site...the one with men and women hunched over in a sort of earthen womb, with light shining in...well, here is the website where I found it...

not sure who the artist is, I came upon it while viewing my dear friends art (Mary Portteus). search through the "past exhibitions" section, I know it is there, just not sure where. good luck!

Recovery?

How Do You Know If You've Recovered?
Day 52
"Anytime you do not feel anger, blame, self-pity, bitterness, or resentment, then you are experiencing recovery. If you think of your former spouse less often than you used to, this is a sign of recovery. If you are living in the present more than you are dwelling in the past, you are recovering. When you look back and see where you have been, that means you are in a position of recovery. The peace of Christ indicates recovery."

At divorcecare.com there is a plethora of resources for divorce recovery. It has been a huge gift to receive their 365 daily readings. Above is day 52...the words are still reverberating within me.

It is actually possible to feel peace in the eye of the storm. I feel forgiveness towards him. I pray for goodness and peace to rest upon he, who tormented me. He is himself, tormented. I feel a release to no longer hold that bird, expecting to heal him. That is what Jehovah is ready and able to do.

Jehovah...I feel comfort in my bones. warm kind pure true without blemish oh God I love you!

thank you for recovery.
thank you for hope.
Chacah.
