He lived through two years of her vacillating. I met him the day after his divorce was final. That was well over 30 years ago. I actually think about the woman who left him and wonder if she will ever come to see what am amazing man she left. There is a plan.

He did his best to love her, treat her well, and reconcile. She would have none of it. He even moved her stuff from California to Kansas and shared financially when he didn't have to. Loved her with God's love through his pain. It has been my blessing to be married to him for 23 years and counting. What a Godly and faithful husband he is!! May Josiah FEEL God's love and healing touch on his life, and be blessed even through the difficult circumstances.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16366204.post-56144816784445778142014-12-02T12:30:14.499-09:002014-12-02T12:30:14.499-09:00What a transparent testimony of grace in the midst...What a transparent testimony of grace in the midst of heartbreak. Your candor and faith go together to build strength for you, your family, and those who will read these words.

My heart hurts for all of you. My husband and I pray almost daily for all marriages, broken and healthy. We pray that people will fight for their marriages, will desire to have better marriages (even if their marriages seem "okay"), so that their descendents will be blessed. This is such a hard road. I pray Josiah will feel God's strong arms under him and will see God's grace. God bless you for being so real to all of us, even those of us who know each other only online (though I hope that will change someday). <3Melanie McBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13332079384981923017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16366204.post-31968029875733681072014-12-02T10:40:25.193-09:002014-12-02T10:40:25.193-09:00I have also found that God speaks most clearly to ...I have also found that God speaks most clearly to me through the hard times.
