Title: divorce? Post by: poohbear on September 17, 2004, 02:23:27 PM I'm new here but maybe someone can help me. Me and my husband got married at a young age. I grew up in a christian church. But then my mother decided she was gay. My dad left home and my sister got married at 17 and moved out. My mom worked all the time. My mother took me to live with my grandparents because I did not aprove of her life and her girlfriend did not like me. But she lied to them and told them I was a problem child and on drugs and she could not handle me. They were very strict babtist. They did not believe me that she was gay and there was nothing wrong with me. She still will not admit it to them. I ran away back home and she put me in a foster home at 12years old and found me a job working in a newpaper plant 3rd shift illigally. that is when I met my husband. When his parents saw where i was living they had me come live with them. We later married and moved to NC. I was in OK. We divorce after 7 years. I cant blame it on one or the other it was both parties that were guilty. In that time I had strayed away from god but I always had him in my heart. We had two kids together. We tried again to work things out. I had gotten pregnant with his child again and we signed divorce papers. In my 8th month of pregnancy something pulled me back to the lord. I remember giving my life to him and telling him it is all up to you I can do know more. My ex- husband called that night and we worked things out. I was living with someone and he was engage to be married when we got back together this last time. He is not a christian I have tried to get him to church he has gone twice. But I believe god is still working on him. My question is. We have not remarried. It has been 9 years back together now. Is is true that in god's eyes you are not seperated until one remarries. Or have I read this wrong. I'm now trying to really make right of my life and let god work through me. First I'm trying to straighten up my life. Finacially and Physically. Do I need to remarry him to make God approve of us being back together. Can some one answers this question. Sorry I got a little carried away with my story its hard to just tell part of it.....Thanks in advance for any advice.

So I suppose as long as you continue to seek Him daily in all your trials, you'll figure out how to right any wrongs and make a good show of it. "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added unto you." (Matthew 7 (?)). We all have tangled webs that we weave for ourselves, either of our own making, or jointly with others or, sometimes, unavoidably, I suppose, by others, doing it to us. In any case, continue to seek His guidance in your daily walk. Remember that Jesus died for you and for me, in our stead, since God requires blood sacrifice for our sins. Jesus was that blood sacrifice. Title: Re:divorce? Post by: poohbear on September 20, 2004, 09:10:28 AM Thank you for the response. I think God every day. I sit back and look at the way some people act and dont appreciate what they have. And I have to say, everything I have been through, I believe it has made me a better and stronger person today. I have not always done what is right, but God has always taken me back and straighten me up. Thank God for Jesus and forgiveness.
