Daily Share – Asking For Prayers For My Journey!

February 18, 2013 by 9 Comments

TDL_FB iconTo every one of us committed to “The Journey”,

I recently woke up one morning – typical to every other, unforeseen; what the outcome of the next 24 hours would present. A little over a week before Christmas, it was. Holiday anticipation filled the air. Our Christmas tree rested suspended in the backyard relaxing its branches in preparation for heirloom decorations. When my husband called up to invite his wife out to a Friday “Happy-Hour.”

If you’re like me, often times prescribed expectations for happiness don’t always end up especially happy. Particularly this one, day anyhow…We started out in usual fair, enjoying one another’s company. Until the tide began to turn into a deeper more heated dialog ensued. Needless to say the evening did not end on a high note….By the end of the night we had nothing left of either of us.

My pet peeve has always been yelling. Not in so much as I detest every accelerated confrontation, but especially when it’s served up with a plate of hostility. Moreover when a couple relies on any negative pattern to get a point across, I believe that this is when the brakes need to be put on. And that’s exactly what I did. The next morning I packed up myself and my son and with little more than the clothes on our backs and left…I left the man I love most in this world. Someone I’ve known since I was 17-years-old. I left not because of our unsettling. I left because no one should feel like they have to scream to be “heard.”

I have no income or savings, no employment, no transportation or any resources of any kind.

What I do have is a 16-year-old son who depends on me and believes in me. I do have an ever present God who will sustain me!

I ask you for prayers for my personal journey and I will keep you in mine. Until we meet back here again.

Stay strong & be Blessed,

A TDL Reader

    The courage of your decision is admirable. Be comforted and inspired in his words… I can do all things in Christ who strengthens me.

    God bless you, your son and husband. You mentioned that you still feel a great deal of love for your husband. I am inspired that this felling of love will heal you all. Continue to trust and believe in yourself. The Uni-verse will guide you.

    “No one should feel like they have to scream to be ‘heard.’”

    I love that line.  SO true!  I often felt that way towards the end of my relationship too.  My boyfriend would too often talk OVER me.  As in, I’d be talking, telling him something, sharing my opinion and viewpoint, and before I even finished speaking, as the words were still coming out of my mouth, he’d start talking and telling me HIS viewpoint. 

    Nothing is worse (or few things anyway) than feeling like you’re not being heard… and that the person isn’t even interested in listening to you!  Like what you have to say doesn’t matter to them. 

    I certainly commend and applaud you for having the guts to walk out!  And take your son with you.  It’ll be a GREAT life lesson for him.  Seeing his mother stand up for herself and show her strength and courage.  :)    And hopefully it’ll help the point sink in more with your husband, wherever you two go from here. 

    You WILL be taken care of, one way or another.  I’m certain of that much.  The Universe ALWAYS works in our favor and provides for us AT ALL TIMES. 

    Best of luck!!  Stay strong, you’re doing great!

    I love this post. You have given me strength. I have been in a bad loveless marriage for 14 years. Fear and Fear alone has kept me in it. I have a special needs child and I think if I leave then I have no support with this kid. 

    You have given me inspiration. I love your line about all you have is ever present God who will sustain you. 

    Thank you

    Love, gentleness and forgivness will guide you. Mistakes happen. I can’t imagine that he loves you less then you love him. Stay open.

    How Awesome that you’ve done this, I give you a standing ovation!!!  Follow your bliss, and keep your eyes, ears and heart open.   The Universe will open doors for you, ALL things are possible with a 100% guarantee that you will be taken care of!  You are love!  Should any of the useless chatter enter in that says “you can’t do this, you’ve made a big mistake” see it for what it is, USELESS, CONDITIONED CHATTER!!!  Bring yourself back to the present moment and fully realize the unlimited powerful being you are and KNOW you can do anything!!!  

    Peace, Love and Abundance to you and your son.

    OMG!!  I am in the same relationship and am preparing to leave for the same reason.  I am not heard and when I ask if he heard me, his answer is always, “I try never to hear anything you say”, as he’s laser focused on the tv.  I have little retirement income and nothing else and will be 70 in less than two months.  Will I be okay?  You bet I will be okay.  I trust in God and the universe to provide me with what I need, as God and the Universe heard me and you.
