“I will walk by faith even when I cannot see because this broken road prepares Your will for me” ~ Jeremy Camp from the song Walk by Faith on the 2002 album Stay. If I told you this song has ministered to me in difficult times over the last 20+ years, it would be a severe understatement. After many years, I ran across it again buried deep in my iTunes library. It spoke even more to me after looking back to see the broken road Jesus led me down so long ago. You may have just started the journey down your broken road recently. Some of you may have been on it for so many miles you wonder if you w ..read more

I get ultra-sensitive at this time of year. Christmas and New Years is a time for family, friends, and fun. But so many times when you are experiencing divorce or the aftermath, you may wonder if anyone cares about you. I do. I remember living in a town I moved to for work. I had been divorced and started my life over with a great career opportunity that God led me to over a couple of years. I got plugged into a wonderful church family and meet so many nice people. I remember meeting, marrying, and ultimately divorced again to my second wife. I was crushed. The only family I had close by was a ..read more

It is the day after Thanksgiving and a large amount of people have already been Black Friday shopping since early this morning. Actually, with technology today, Black Friday is more like most of November, ramps up around Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday, and they try to keep you spending until the Super Bowl. What does this have to do with divorce and you making it? Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, Valentine’s Day, Anniversaries, and many other big days are the hardest when you have lost someone or your marriage. Reminders of kids opening presents early in the morning, the smell of a dozen differ ..read more

So many cliches about bridges. Here comes another one. I hope not. I pray that our few moments together can speak something different about you, your present situation, and what is next. I am going to reference a bridge, but I believe God has something for you that you may not have considered before today. It is said that a bridge carries you from your past to your future. What if it is created to carry you from your present to your destiny instead? Instead of a bridge over troubled water, could it be a bridge over the unknown? I challenge you to envision the bridge that will carry you and you ..read more

I know it has been too long between posts. Maybe that is why this post of the Divorce to Healing podcast spoke to me as well. Have you ever felt “NOT ENOUGH”? I have recently and even in my past felt that I have not done or said enough, been enough, or see myself as enough for someone else. Are you there too? In the podcast, I mention the definition of value. It is the worth in usefulness or importance to the possessor. Notice: Nowhere in that definition does it say that what is valued determines it’s own value. The value is determined by who possesses it. A car does not determine it’s own val ..read more

So many times, people have no idea what you are feeling. I know. I have been there. You feel that you are broken beyond repair. You feel worthless. You feel unworthy. Feelings come and go. Don’t trust them, especially when you have been wounded by divorce and separation. Tomorrow is a new day. I just heard this new song from Mercy Me called “Bright Side Of Broken”. When I first read the title, I was wondering how they would convey the concept of looking on the bright side. We have all heard that before. Same old, same old. Give me a few minutes to help you process this concept. First, I wante ..read more

Is this how you are feeling right now? Does the world inside of you match the world outside of you? Have you ever wondered about the reason for the question “WHY?”? Is it just a 4-letter word that is so beyond that it lost a letter? The question of why is not the subject of this post. The cause of fear, anxiety, and confusion IS. Chaos is caused by many factors, both external and internal. Divorce, abuse, economic factors, political systems and many other reasons are not the actual chaos. They are only the result or fruit of chaos. It was before Facebook and Twitter. It started before televisi ..read more

A couple of years ago, I posted a video prayer to coincide with each day of my reading plan on YouVersion. Divorce to Healing: 31 Days of Healing and Wholeness With it being Christmas Eve 2020 and knowing that many people could use some prayer right now, I decided to compile them all into one blog post. I have posted them in order from 1-31 with the subject of each prayer. If you need prayer or know someone who can really just use some prayer (divorce related or not), please share this post with them. I am also considering doing some LIVE prayer, if there is enough desire for me to do that. I ..read more
