As I reflect over the years in some ways it still hurts. It hurts to remember the moments of disharmony between us as well as the effects it has had on our daughters. Was it worth it? Did I move to fast? Did I really know him? Did he really know me? In hinds sight, I guess you could say that maybe there where signs, but then again love covers. One thing I know for certain, our marriage was not a mistake. We where blessed with two beautiful daughters and for that I am most grateful.
No, things didn’t work out between my ex-husband and me, but I have learned a lot. I value what I have learned from the experience. I have grown spiritually, and have been able to forgive. I know now that life is full of the unexpected and most importantly I have learned that in order to move forward I need to forgive.
I never expected for things to end as they did. I have worked through the pain and discomfort over the years which has taught me a lot about myself. I have grown emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. I am grateful to have had the courage to take the journey of marriage. Although we where not as successful together as we had hoped I won’t look back with regret on the experience.

Unforgiveness is the root of all types of dysfunctional manifestations. It can lead to bitterness, hate, rebellion, psychological, and physical instability. It is one of the primary reasons for separation and divorce. Separation and divorce of a family is never easy. It is a painful process for every party involved, and I believe it can be one of the most painful experiences in life. It is love gone wrong for everyone! As an adult you try and understand. You try to communicate through the hurt and disappointment. You try and be strong for your children, for your family, but it is hard to master your emotions. Then one day you realize the only way to move forward is to stop looking back. You forgive to live again, and you find a way to help your children do the same.
Today I am grateful for wisdom, understanding, and God’s grace. Three key essentials to getting past your past to move forward with your future. I pull strength from God’s word.
