| We were together 13 yrs, we have a 12 yr old daughter which he adored and now rarely sees. Husband never really told me what he thought our issues were, but now he lives with an OW from his work place. After reading Erin's book I see a ton of my issues, like contention and pridefully thinking I knew better and was more responsible. Divorce finalized April 14, 2023...I got the book days afterward (praise God I didn't seek a lawyer or have to sign any papers...the only mistake I didn't make per Erin's book!), but I've been seeking God on the matter pretty much since he left us May 27th 2022 with minimal support, as many just don't understand. I truly believe this was God's leading, I would have easily moved on as I always did in my past. |

Dear Bride, My husband was once living away from home and living with the OW. Although heartbroken, it gave me so much more time to spend and get to know the Lord. He is ALWAYS there for us, even when we don’t feel His presence. During that time He cared for me and has made me be able to feel more of His love each day. He wants to show you His love, He wants you to share His unconditional love with others, because His love has the power to heal everything.
I am so glad to hear that you found the RYM book helpful and that you are growing closer to Him. I know that it must be hard for your daughter to see her father so rarely. May be this is a great time to point her towards the best Father she can have! https://homegrownministries.com/hp/ww4hp/
Before my restoration the chapter from the Wise Woman Book helped me tremendously. https://hopeatlast.com/c3/day-10-chapter-5-won-without-a-word/ and chapters from the WW are in audio if you need to listen while driving, as I enjoyed.
Also if you haven’t already started please do the courses and journal, as they will help renew your mind. https://hopeatlast.com/rrr/.
I also encourage you to read Facing Divorce Again https://hopeatlast.com/c3/facing-divorce-course/
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted. He saves those whose spirits have been crushed.” Ps3418
Dear Bride, welcome to RMI! God has led you here as you are seeking understanding your situation. “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge..” Hosea 4:6
I am sorry to hear that you are left with minimal support. But I want to encourage you because God is the true provider who can supply everything – “And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19 “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” Matthew 6:33
Lastly I invite you to find your Heavenly Husband who has been calling you. Please consider journaling this lesson:

Many of us found Him and are no longer in lack.
Dear bride, l love that you ask the Lord to help you stay focused on Him as you
“Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun. Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret…” Psalm 37
It sounds like you have learned so many great principles from the book. Please dont stop there because there is so much more to learn that will bring you so much joy and peace.
Please read this lesson the Lord is faithful and will provide for all your needs, like you l was also left with very little after separation and divorce and was very encouraged and l still go back to read this lesson when l feel fearful about finances.
