Reiently divorced and feeling very lost where I was living I left to go live close to my daughter and her family. WOW! How God has blessed me in that decision. I won't discribe it as easy or even that I am healed from the hurt yet but I can feel Gods loving arms around me helping me through this dark time. Daily audio Bible is what I hear every night befor I go to sleep. Hope to meet others who are here looking for Gods guidence. Anyone have any words of encouragment or friandly advise? You been through this nightmare?

Annie, you have so much encouraged me in decisions I am trying to make right now.
I too find so much encouragement in DAB before bed (and first thing in morning). Sadly I have been through nightmare of divorce from the father of my 6 children and a marriage of 19 years...God has been so very faithful in healing from that. The verses that got me through was at the end of John when Christ told Peter what is it to you if I let John tarry until I come again, you follow me....and my favorite "Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth." Ps 57:1-3 KJV
Blessing dear one!

Hang in there Chelle! I am so glad that I have begun to commuicate with people here, on DAB!! It is so fun and encouraging to have a place of meaning to check into every-so-often. I got stuck in FB and there I find meaningless jabber most of the time. Not all the time, mind you...but this is a place where I feel the Lords presence and that people are centered in Christ.
Have you been able to attend a divorce care class? I find it very very helpful. I believe they have them all over the country. Go to divorcecare.com-they even have a daily email message you can sign up for that is very good.
I have held onto Proverbs 3:5-6. I need to remind myself daily that He is working in my life and in my X's life but I may not understand how. It is ironic that I feel as though I have abandoned my X when I know lodgically it does not make sense especially because I did not want to divorce him..He left me....but my heart hangs onto the love and the loyalty to him. I am learning why I feel this way and how to let God heal my broken heart. Thanks for your note. Let me know how your doing.

Thanks Annie, my divorce was 7+ years ago, and I would have benefited from divorce care. At the time we lived in very small town and of all things my ex went to the only class...He waited one year to the date and married a former baby sitter of ours.
After this long my ex has come to regret his decisions and told me so a couple of times. I was able to "get over" loving him when he married again, and able to "get over" bitterness and resentment from all the vicious court battles for children and everything else when I forgave him and his wife, and started praying for God to bless them and their home, actually being happy and joyful for them.
I married again after two years, and landed in an abusive relationship, I am working through that, I am seeking more help this time.
It is a blessing you seem to be doing well and caring for yourself properly.
Praising God with you! and praying for you.
I send you my love and prayers with hugs!
