Although I experienced divorce as a child, 11 to be exact, the thought of the trial makes me very sad. You and your babies will come out of this, and likely stronger for it, but it's often difficult to understand why God allows such sadness in our lives. Be assured that it isn't done lightly and without reason for he loves us so. I'll say a prayer for you and your family right now. Hang in there.

We are not saved by our own good works, nor by proving ourselves worthy of something beyond this life. We are NOT worthy, but the blood shed by Jesus Christ on the cross IS worthy, and it is by this blood, and THIS blood alone, I am saved. May the One who is called I AM walk with you in your darkest days, and brightest moments. John 3:16 Be blessed, It is by the blood of the Lamb we are redeemed. We are not saved by our own good works, nor by proving ourselves worthy of something beyond this life. We are NOT worthy, but the blood shed by Jesus Christ on the cross IS worthy, and it is by this blood, and THIS blood alone, I am saved.

May the One who is called I AM walk with you in your darkest days, and brightest moments.

John 3:16

Be blessed,

I wish you the best during this trial. I notice that you have a copy of Beauty on your shelf; have you read Robin McKinley's Chalice? It helped me get through a transition of my own.
