April 20
« on: April 15, 2011, 11:33:00 PM »
This last year,couple of years really has been HELL on me. I feel like I have been through HELL itself. I have endured chronic pain since 1994, dealt with it with prescribed medication, I no longer have those meds, which is a good thing. Like Paul, I guess I must bear/ put up with this thorn in my flesh. Not sure how much longer I will be able to function in my present job. That's kind of minor considering what I'm facing on 4-20 @ 1:00pm.

   The final hearing on my divorce (she filed) is on that day and time.There is alot to it, today my attny called me and told me her and her attny had offered a settlement. She wants $280 weekly child support, $5000 attny fees, I have to pay all outstanding bills, she wants the 401k, 55% of the profits from the sale of the house and 1/2 my pension.

  I can not afford that. There is no way I make enough money to pay what she is asking for and with my disability(20%) I don't know how much longer I will be able to do my current job, and like most ppl I have no other skills or schooling. Financial things aside, she is also trying to not let me have any parenting time with my daughter ( she's 20) by saying in court that I'm unbalanced, because I accidently overdosed and have been trying to live for the LORD since.

  I could use some prayer asking for the LORD to do as he sees fit as ultimatley it's up to him. I am also facing jail time for contempt of court because I couldn't pay her attny 750 dollars Dec 15. I also missed one support payment, but made it up the next time. So please say a prayer if you don't mind as I really really don't want to spend 7 days in jail and I would like to be able to afford to eat and have something other than a cardboard box to live in

Prayers from California.  I went through a divorce and attended a group called Separated Men's Group.  See if you can find a group around you at a local church.

I'll be praying for you.

Joe,

You've come a long way in God's eyes in the ground you've gained. Do not let another mortal steal from you what God gave back!!

What you face is beyond my comprehension so I won't wax philosophical.  

What I do know is that the Lord has some amazing ways to provide for us when the chips are down, but we often "receive not because we ask not, or we ask with the wrong heart!"

I've not yet totally figured out what that passage means in daily living and praying and believing, but I suspect there are many times/things where I've not done as HE would want it in my prayer life for the challenges that befell me and remained.

But I survived.  Not able to do the things I've always dreamed, and they've been small things by most men's standards, but they were MY dreams and they're gone...yet, Lord provided something better'n a cardboard box and I'm not too skinny for sure!

Prayers for peace, strength, discernment and the power to believe in the face of your incredible challenge.  

Keep the Son in your eyes, brother!

Well Nighthawk, I can't add anything here except to say that I will also be lifting you up for strength and guidance. Just keep looking toward the cross and watch God open up his grace to you and for you. They can't fight God and win.......Dusty
