Tell Us About Yourself and What the DAB Means To You

I am looking forward to working my way through the Bible with the DAB community. I have been struggling with hope and faith lately. It seems like life is NEVER easy. I keep waiting for the next year, or next month to get just a little easier. I have been divorced now for five years, and turned my back on God out of anger for not healing my marriage. I have seen Him heal wounded marriages before, and I had faith He would heal mine. However, when that didn't happen, I was angry. After a year, I found my way back to His loving arms. I have been growing more and more in my walk each year. In fact last year, I even went on a mission trip to Haiti! I LOVED it, and I am ready to go back. I even took a huge leap of faith and followed God to a new job her put in my lap. It meant a 50% pay cut and a smaller home. No problem... I have throughly enjoyed that change in my life this year. God continues to work on my heart and remove the bitterness I still seem to hold onto. I felt like things were beginning to brighten and I felt joyful! Life still had its troubles for sure, but I had hope and faith in my Lord! So what lead me to DAB? Life threw a curveball at me again. I guess that is the way it works always climbing up, enjoying the mountaintop for a while, and eventually plummenting back down to the valley. I hope that DAB helps give me glimpse of hope for my lonely heart. Raising two young boys on my own is difficult. After seeing their father have a woman move into his home, has lead me into another hole of hopelessness. My boys are struggling with it as well and acting out with their behavior as a result. The boys and I have started counseling, and I hope that it will help. I just can't seem to get my hope back at the moment. I pray that DAB and being in His word daily will bring hope and joy back to my life.

Kristi,
Welcome to the community. I have found this to be a rich, helpful place, and i think you will too. I do believe that staying daily in the Word will help you get your hope restored and elevated. I also think you may get some good advice and prayers here about your specifific circumstances. I believe that divorce would be a difficult situation, but i know that God will continue to bless you and your family. Thanks for joining us in this adventure in the Word.

Welcome to DAB Kristi!! You will be so blessed by listening to God's Word everyday. 2011 was my first year through the Bible and I can tell you I am a very different person than I was this time last year. I am also a single mom and I understnad your struggles. I deal with lonlieness all the time. I will be praying for you and your boys.
If you ever need someone to talk to the forums and chat room are a great resource. I've only recently started using them, but I have found everyone to be loving and kind and encouraging. This is an amazing community.
