glancing back

It's hard to believe that it's been 4 years since my marriage ended.... and here I am engaged. I honestly never thought I would see this day come. I have been trying to think back and remember what kind of person I was right after my wife left. I know I wasn't very happy. I do remember something of a clarion call that took place, it was calling me to explore what life had in store for me. It was God telling me he wasn't through with me yet, and that he had so much more in mind for me. So I quit the job I had( without knowing where I was going), signed up for school, and started my life over. I was partying a lot in those days, trying to flush all the bad memories and heartaches away with alcohol. Fortunately God called me out of that life and dropped me off at the Vineyard.

Anyway I know that at that time I never would have been able to conceive of the happiness and Joy that the Father had in store for me. I know that married life will be difficult( been there done that ) but this time I have a very different perspective and I am looking forward to the challenges. I am looking forward to the opportunities for Erica and I to grow together.
