You Are a Treasure

I am now ready for my marriage to be over.  Yes, I said that out loud.  Do I wish this?  Of course not.  Is this going to happen anyway?  Yes.  So now I am faced with HOW to handle this.  My wish and my hope is that I can handle this end with dignity and with grace.  That is what I can hope for.

My heart is heavy but it is still filled with abounding hope.  God is good.  He has always taken care of me throughout my life.  He will now too.

There is a time for everything and for everything there is a time.

God has set eternity in our hearts.  He's given us this little hope of our future that allows us to get through difficult times like this.  I've been through a journey with God over the past couple of years.  At first I couldn't believe that God was allowing this to happen.  Time went by and I got over my first feelings of anger and betrayal and then I just felt thankful.  I was thankful to be away from this situation that was so unhealthy for me.  I had been set free.

So as I walk through this very difficult week I look with sadness to my past but at the same time look toward my future with great hope and excitement.  God has blessed me so much.  I have much to be thankful for.

Listening to some great Christian music has uplifted me tonight.

You are a treasure worth more than anything under the sun or the moon.  God's greatest treasure is the treasure of you.  !!!!  God delights in us.  How cool is that?  The God of the universe thinks that I'm the apple of His eye.  God's greatest treasure is the treasure of you.

If you ever doubt how special you are to  God, doubt His working in your life, KNOW that God loves you so very much and will care for you.

I've been set free.  I'm free to become the woman He created me to be.  Free to be her again.  Free to give and receive love.  I'M FREE!  (that is the most amazing feeling, even despite the pain).

God is good.  Hold onto that fact.  Say it, pray it until you believe it.  Believe that He loves you right where you are, in the middle of complex relationships, in the middle of relationships/friendships that are strained.  Remember to always hold onto the knowledge of God's goodness.
