"Divorce leaves a cloud of dust that never settles."

If your parents, relatives, or even friends have divorced, i think that you would agree with the statment above. I'm currently reading the book "The Children of Divorce" and it is interesting. I am a child of divorce. I was the evidence of what my parents love was. Even if my father refuses to state that now. In the book, it was saying that the biggest impact in our Great-Grandparents life was Pearl Harbor, then for our Grandparents it was Kennedy being shot, and for us and our parents generation... divorce. It's so scary to think about it in that way. That something like Divorce can be as big as an attack on U.S. soil or the Murder of a U.S. President.


I'll never forget the divorce, but it doesn't bother me everyday like it used to. I love my father very much, we just don't have the relationship that we used to have anymore. It's sad, but i have A LOT of "Fathers" besides my real dad. I'm so incredible Thankful. I know that i couldn't have gotten through such a rough and difficult time without them. I also have many incredible "Mothers" as well. They would be there for me when i was having a difficult day, and be there for me when I had a great day. I couldn't of have made it through without you guys. God has blessed me with a lot of Mothers and Fathers.
When i really needed influence espeically when things were really difficult for my mom, you guys were there. Thank you so much! God placed you in my life for a reason, and i don't know what i would do without you.


I don't know how my mom was able to raise me. ;) I know it was at the help of all of the great influences in my life.  I'll be privilegded to be even half the women my mom is when i'm a mother.


God has blesssed my family and I so much. We don't know what we would do without God. I am so grateful that I can be so stupid and God welcomes me back with wide open arms. This year has truly been amazing, and I feel like i've grown so so so much in my relationship with my Lord and Savior.  It's amazing how much you learn about God, and you learn about yourself as well. I'll never walk away from my Jesus Christ again. Never. And I've learned that I don't have to prove anything to anyone. I know what my relationship is with Christ, and that's all that counts. I'm living for my Christ, I'm living for my Savior.


This year will be our 7th Christmas without my Dad. I still miss him. My Parent's would've been married 26 years on Wednesday. Being a child that has divorce parents, stinks. But you get over it. Actually, you begin to heal. I'll never completely accept it. I'm not the one that has to let go and forgive. I can't judge my father. I miss him. But i'm letting Go. It's time right?


I'm going to Walk By Faith, because without God, I am nothing.



And If you want to read a really great book, read "The Children of Divorce."
