Life After Divorce | The New Me Mom

How can I not have faith after all the things I just went thru. I filed for divorce in April 2021 and it still technically isn’t finalized but I’m technically divorced… make sense to you? Yea didn’t think it would. It’s been such a long process getting from “Point A” to “Point B”. I had no idea what was ahead of me.

I was at church and was sitting with my son, just a baby at the time. At the end of the service I was just a mess! Crying buckets of tears over all the feelings I had but didn’t know how to work through. The feelings that I kept saying to push down and they’ll go away. Those same feelings I now realize I had built up inside of me for years! The woman who met me to pray at the end of the service was named Amanda. A recently divorced, single mother of 2 girls. She seemed so strong! So put together. I felt like I was looking in the mirror to my future self although I didn’t know how long it would take to get there or if I would have the guts to finally get out. Hearing her talk was such an inspiration to what could be me in the future. I definitely couldn’t see it but the way she explained it could only be an act of God working thru FAITH. She said, “just wait! God will show up in the end and so will the church. All the miracles you didn’t think could happen are going to happen.” I couldn’t see it. It’s sometimes even now still hard to see but Faith is what brought me to church that day. Faith is what brought me through the struggles since that day. Faith is what gets me up in the morning for my kids. And Faith is all I have to stand on now.
