Living a life that Matters

Pretty amazing day yesterday. God heals. That’s all I can say. I’m seeing healing in a lot of areas of my life. People that I pray daily for. People that I love and miss because of broken relationships.

I won’t get into too much detail about this one area of my life, but it shows how great God is. I spent some time on the phone with my ex-wife today. We get along. We generally don’t talk much unless it is about the kids. We talked at length about the direction we should go for the kids. She had done a lot of crying as we talked. It sounded like life had been rough for her. She talked a lot her own prayer life. Then she asked me about my life with Christ. I knew she had seen changes in me in the past 2 years of being apart. But I think she was always scared to ask. So I had told her what God had done in my life. I think she was blown away and told me she thought it was great to see the direction I decided to take in my life. I told her that I had to go through this divorce to surrender my life to God. Then we talked about our marriage the mistakes we made. I reassured her that I still feel divorce was the wrong course of action on her part. But I also know that we didn’t have a Christ-centered marriage and we were doomed without him. She then broke down and apologized for her part in the divorce and the things she had done to me. Even though I have forgiven her, I had been wanting to hear that for a long time. I also apologized for my part and for not being the spiritual leader in our family that I was supposed to be. God can heal friendships, families and hurting people. My ex-wife I went through a long and difficult divorce. It was tough and we both were hurt by it. Yet I know someday we will be friends again. God shows that when we look to Him, all things are possible. Through Him we find peace in tough times.
