After following all of the rules, being the “good girl”, and meeting and marrying my Prince Charming in true Fairytale fashion, I found myself divorced, disheartened and disenchanted at 25.
“Now what?” I cried out to whoever was listening because I wasn’t so confident there even was a God anymore. After all, I played by His rules and I still lost – big time.
Have you ever found yourself in a place like this?
Over the next 5 years, God took me on a journey showing me who He really is – and isn’t – and what that meant in my everyday life. I still got my happily ever after, but it doesn’t look anything like I ever imagined.
Let me tell you my story.
My favorite way to tell it is sitting over dinner or a cup of coffee, sharing the parts that most apply to you and your situation so you can be encouraged. But unfortunately, I’m unable to do that with each and every person I believe this story will touch.
Jennifer Beckham, minister, author, public speaker, and Disney Princess, said God once told her, “As long as your story keeps leading them to My story – keep telling it.” Ok Lord, I hear you, here I am telling it, one more time.
My prayer is that you feel the hand and voice and love of the Father as clearly and intimately in reading these bits and pieces of my story as I did in living it.
He wants to show up in your life too.
Let Him.
I promise, it’s worth it.
Very well written. Fantastic.
