Would I Do It Again?

Romans 7:15
I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.
Romans 7:19
For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.

These scriptures are so true, sin is the most and strongest addiction of the world. Have you ever noticed that when you're involved in sin, you want to stop you but just don't know how.  The temptation outweighs your rationalizing.

The good news is that we serve an amazing God who is forgiving and full grace and mercy.  I have experienced so much of His forgiveness and grace over the past years.  There is no love greater than the love that God has for us.  In this, I am forever grateful and can truly say I am deeply in love with Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior.

I bet you wonder why I titled my blog "Would I do it again".  Would I marry my husband again after he confessed to an adultress affair?  Wow what a kick in the stomach that was.  It was three and a half years ago that he confessed and today I can tell the story.

First and foremost I would like everyone of you to know that I am not placing blame on him, even though he crossed the line.  It takes two to tango, and I wasn't in the mood for dancing.  We had so much going on in our lives that I didn't have time to give to him. BIG MISTAKE as Julia Roberts would say on Pretty Woman! Going back now I can see he so tried to get my attention and I just ignored him thinking our day will come when we become empty nesters.

The enemy didn't want to wait, he wanted to go ahead and throw his flaming arrow, where I thought our marriage was fireproof.  I know because those words came out of my mouth, which I was reminded later. I ate crow, which didn't taste too well.

Well today we still have a family at home.  The line of communication is direct connect. 

More to come!

  2. The enemy comes to steal kill and destroy. Praying for God to speak through our trials in order that other marriages may be saved. I Love you and thank God for you everyday. This wasn't an easy decision but God's timing is perfect. Living with true forgiveness.
    My baby, I love you may God use us in a big way to Glorify Him.
