Doing
it
God's Way

Let's find out what God says about one of the most dramatic
problems in families today-Divorce
"Our Children get divorced
too"
"Show
them that it's not their
fault"
It was a blessing from
God Himself to give us such a precious gift as our little girl.
There was not a hour that went by that I did not devote to my
wonderful family.
Almost 15 years ago when
our little girl was 3 years old, I wanted a divorce from my wife
because of a agreement that I expected her to keep concerning our
daughters health. Needless to say my pride came into play with me
finally saying the "D" word, Divorce.
One of the saddest
moments that broke my heart literally, and during this time
their were many. Was when our little girl believed that she could
patch up our failing marriage. She would come running up to me with
such laughter and joy and with the biggest smile on her
face, putting her tiny hand into mine holding
tightly, and with all the courage she could muster, she
began telling me she knew how to fix things for mommy and
daddy. She simply said don't you love mommy anymore, she loves you!
I knew right then the truth in God's Word that says that we should
have the faith of a child.
But my ignorant pride and
what now seems like my foolish principals were in the way for me to
be blessed with the clarity of mind and the faith of a child, even
if the child was my own. So God allowed me to do it my way, waiting
patiently for me to turn to Him one day soon so that He can mold me
and shape my heart.
I told my little
angel that it's not that simple, I could see that she did not
understand why it was not that simple to me. Her face started to
frown and I could see that she was trying to struggle for new ideas
and thoughts that she could share with me to make me change my mind.
At the same time she started to cry and she asked me if it was her
fault.
As a father, still holding
her little hand in mine, my heart broke into so many little pieces
hearing these words from her, tears welled up in my eyes as I
gave her the biggest heartfelt hug of her entire
life.
I looked at her trying to
find answers to give her assurance that it was not her fault, and I
came up with 3 promises that I have kept to this day for over 17
years.
As a father I knew one of the promises that
I needed to show my little angel was that it was not her fault.
I promised her that I would
buy us both annual passe's to Disneyland and that I would take her
to the happiest place on earth every weekend, I kept that
promise.
If you ever promise your
child(ren) anything, honor it even if you don't where the energy or
where you will find the time. I know it took all my energy and time,
because we closed the park together each time.
I was not forced to
give up my social life with my friends for my little girl, I became
a "at home dad" because I knew that I needed this time with her
because I needed to heal the hole in my heart when
she asked me "was it her fault.
God Believes in
you
