Reading

So, I've been reading some books lately because well, they were recommended to me in Divorce Care class. The one I'm reading now is called Marriage, Divorce and Remarriage in the Bible: A Fresh Look at What Scripture Teaches by Jay E Adams

It's pretty good but makes me think a lot too. I just read about how God created marriage for companionship and that's what makes me sad...I don't have that intimate companionship and I'm a little afraid that I'll want to find it in H but I know that's not healthy. See, I didn't have it even when my 'wusband' was around, it turns out that his intentions in marrying me weren't for love and companionship but rather a visa and green card or something?!?! I want that sort of companionship but I also realize that that may not be what the Lord wants for me so...I have to give it up on a daily basis. So, if you think of me please pray for me in this area.

I'm also reading another book (With or Without You: A Spiritual Journey Through Love and Divorce by Cameron Conant) about someone else who went through a divorce recently, someone in my generation, and that's been really good for me too. In fact, it's a book that IF, and that's a big if, the Lord does bring someone into my life I would like him to read this too because I've experienced so many of the emotions and situations that this guy has written about that I think it would help whoever understand what I've gone through.

Anyway, that's where I'm at today. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.
