Rescued

I got a message from someone today who thanked me for my blog because she had recently found herself in a very similar situation.  I am so happy that God is using my situation to help others get through the same thing.  Every situation is unique, but one thing is common- God can bring good to anything.


Would I ever have imagined nearly 3 years ago that I would be preparing to start a new family with a wonderful man who loves God and me and my son? Never.  Would I ever have realized the extent of how much I was able to depend on my family to help me? Never.  Would I ever have realized that I could work full time (and more than one job at one time) and be able to still be the kind of mother God wants me to be?  Never.

But I HAVE realized all these things.  My life feels like it is just beginning such a new and exciting chapter.  For me and for Brian.  You could say that my life has done a complete 180.

Was it because I met my future husband and he rescued me from loneliness?  Nope.

Was it because of my mom, my son, and the rest of my family that I was able to pick myself up and make a new life for myself?   Nope, again.

Was it my ability to be able to multitask as a working, single mother that gave me the strength to make this new life work?  Not a chance.


All of these things played a part, but God is the one who rescued me.   He rescued me from feeling bad about myself, for feeling like a failure, from being lonely.  Did he use Wes and my family to help rescue me?  Absolutely.  But it was He and He alone that made my life go in the direction that it needed to lead me to today.  And I am so grateful for that.

It still hurts me when I hear of ANYONE having to go through a situation like divorce.  Especially those with children or those who did not have a choice in the matter.  But let me tell you, even if you didn't have a choice in the matter, you can have a choice on how it ends up.  You can choose to let God transform your life and open doors to things you never realized were possibly.  He can make you feel beautiful and worthy and loved.  All by Himself.
