“Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails the fields produce no food,
Though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior.
The Sovereign LORD is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to go on the heights.”
~Habakkuk 3:17-19

God, these past few days have been so hard. From finishing divorce paperwork to dealing with the house issues – the easement, moving, termites, etc. — oh, Father, I simply can’t do any of this. I can’t do it alone. I am spent. Exhausted. I don’t know how to anymore.
Life.
I feel so beaten down. Oh, God, I know You love me. You love me. You love me. You love me.
Help, help, help. help, help.
WHAT AM I DOING?
WHERE AM I GOING?
WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?!
I PRAY FOR JUSTICE.
Tuesday, October 12, 2010
Oh, Lord, I have been praying for justice, and what to do about house stuff and when… You continue to orchestrate perfectly…all that’s left is the couch and some belongings. I hope tomorrow it is all done; gone.
JUSTICE. YOUR WILL. FREEDOM!
Oh, Father, I pray that You would illuminate the way. You are continuing to lead me out of this marriage, this house, maybe even out of Los Angeles? I do not know. I am afraid. I feel displaced. Uncertain.
Oh, Lord, You are so good. You are too good. I don’t understand, but You bring beauty from all my pain.

My 11th wedding anniversary would have been in one week. It makes me sad. If all goes “well” – YOUR plan, Lord – then escrow will close next week; next Friday? And then Saturday will come. I think it’s hitting me now. I wanted so much to celebrate year 11, year 12, 15, 20, 40…but I never will. Ever. Not with him. Ever.
It’s so sad, Lord. My heart hurts. I still mourn the loss of my marriage.
I hope this all will end soon, and that the pain and hurt will look less like scars and more like character.
Oh, Lord, the pain is so present. I try to cover it up but it doesn’t go away. You are the only true comfort. I cannot depend upon anyone but You.
This has all been so traumatic. I continue to love and trust You and put my HOPE in YOU. Hope for my future that You have already so lovingly planned for me!
Oh, Lord, I ask for favor and blessing. Do You want me to stay in LA? NYC? I ask for financial blessing. I ask that you would bless me with a faithful, godly, HUNKY, ATTRACTIVE, amazing, talented, confident, big-penised husband!!! (ha ha!) And babies!

Father, I had hoped that escrow would close today. It did not, and now it may take even LONGER. LORD, I need help. I am a disaster. Satan is doing everything he can — flailing around like a fool, trying to throw a wrench in Your plan. God, I TRUST YOU. You have carried me through ALL of this. And I trust You to carry me through, to the end.
I am exhausted. My eyes are still swollen from sobbing last night. Sobbing and sobbing…my body and spirit are so weak.
As hard as it is, God, I pray for my husband, and his friends. They know You and they have hurt so many people. I do not know what happened to them or what will happen to them. It is difficult for me to pray for any of them. But I do. I don’t even know what to pray.
I am drowning. I want to hide. Please, no more hurt. Please help me, Jesus. I need You.

Good morning, Lord!
I had a wonderful night’s rest. Had a good conversation with Curt last night…went to bed early…
Escrow closes today. T O D A Y. The funding went through yesterday – Kathy worked so hard! I may even have the money today. Not that I care about the money; it is the price I receive for my marriage.
I still struggle with the pain of the betrayal. I know healing will take a long time, but I feel that I can finally start to heal, and will be able to get on my feet and do something for myself. Now I get to focus on what YOU and I are doing – not that I wasn’t before? I don’t know.
And, of course, the pain of October 30th – my wedding anniversary – will be there. Is there.
“And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.” ~Romans 5:5
I do not understand why all of this happened. I held on as long as I could to everything — my husband, especially. God, I see how beautifully and perfectly You orchestrated the gentle shift in ownership of my home, in exactly six months. Amazing.
I believe that the divorce will be final in Your perfect timing, as well. I pray that the paperwork will be complete; that nothing will have to be returned. I don’t want to have to see my husband for a LONG, LONG time. Too painful. TOO painful.
He was my husband and I loved him so much…dreams slipped away like sand through my fist. Life as I knew it is OVER. Let this new life begin. 
I’m atop the mountain right now. I hiked up here, all by myself. I’m above the Hollywood sign, and it is so beautiful. I can see oil rigs in the ocean. I can see for miles. It is so very quiet.
Just You and me, God.
I don’t have to know anything now. Today is huge. Today is the biggest in letting go. You carried me through it all.
Oh, LORD! The relief and freedom I feel! I can go anywhere; do anything. My life then is but a memory. I will not linger in the past. I will try hard not to blame my husband for such pain and hardship. The work is done.
New life. New life. NEW LIFE!!

i know your pain too well but unlike you i have to see him often due to kids…often times I wish i havent
Nice….. 🙂 The future is your empty canvas to paint! Splash it with color sister!
I have a tattoo of Romans 5:5! Oh, to have hope of no pain on the other side of eternity is what keeps me going! That is never disappointing or shameful at all.
So size does matter…I knew it.
