It's been a long time


So much has happened since I've last blogged.


I started Bible Study. It's one by Priscilla Shirer called "One in a Million". It's been so very good for me. I know that there have been many things keeping me from fulfilling my potential. And this is one great way for me to get started on my way.
We are only in our first week of the study but we are taking it slow and really taking about two weeks on each week of the study. So she has started out by talking about the shackles that keep us tied up in our bondage. I know that I have studied this many times over. And it seems as if each time I learn it about something different.
So this time I am learning about untying the shackles of my divorce. I have held on to the idea that I still love the man that I thought I married. And somehow....welll.....I just don't know how to describe how I felt. But I found myself constantly needing to know what was going on in his life. BUT I need to let that go. He choose not to love me and to deceive me about who he is. So I need to move on and that means not knowing what is going on in his life.
This week I have only checked out his life once. It has truly felt nice. It's nice to have a life that does not revolve around the past and is not based who or what I thought someone was. It's amazing and freeing to be focusing on the future and my growth as a person.
I'm so glad that God has brought someone into my life that loves Him and is dedicated to growing in Him. It's neat to see a young lady that was raised by a very solid christian family and it is encouraging to know that my nieces will someday be like this lovely woman, since they are being raised in godly homes.
Can't wait to see what the future holds....both for myself and my lovely nieces. We are all One in a Million!!!!!
