Hi M.!
It's A. from Plano again. I think you're the same M. that asked about Ebay???
Well, I know it may sound too simple, but at least try it for one week (If you don't already do this.) ....just pray to God... just talk to Him -- yell at Him, ask him all your questions, tell Him all your worries - give it all to Him. Ask him to take your anger away. If anything, it will help you vent. But I have a feeling that God will see you through this and make you a stronger person. Try doing this consistently every morning (or whenever you have free time alone - for me, it's when my son goes to bed) and just talk to Him like a father. Or write out/journal your prayers to him in a book. This always helps me get through the tough parts of life and helps me to see the big picture. Your life is way more important and bigger than this divorce you're going through -- you may not believe it now -- but this divorce will NOT define your life. You have bigger and better things ahead.
I would also like to tell you about my church's DivorceCare meetings:
For Adults & Children (ages 6-12): This is a 13-week passage through the initial shock of divorce or separation toward finding wholeness again. It is a video and small-group discussion recovery program designed to encourage, support and provide guidance from a biblical perspective. Trained facilitators lead discussions each week that focus on healing and recovery from relational loss. For more information contact Bobbie at ###-###-####, ext. 110.

Click on current events/calendar to find the dates.
I think it meets every Tuesday night, 7 p.m. in Rooms 214/215.
If you have any questions or would like to pray over the phone, I would be happy to do that. Even if you would like to get together at Starbucks to talk and pray for each other, I would love to do that, too.
