Plan "B"

If I had the will/desire to write all the details of what has transpired in the past 2+ weeks, you'd probably agree that it's been a real page turner. There are still many unanswered questions and open items that may never be addressed, but it's out of my hands, as it had been all along. I think I'm past the worst of it now, but it still hurts - and it probably will cause moments of quiet reflection for the rest of my life. It was encouraging to know that when these trials came, I ran straight to God. I recall saying out loud, "This is the easiest decision ever" when the trials first started. I know He'll bless me for my willingness to give up on my own understanding and sit at His feet. Amazingly, not once did I shake my fist at the ceiling. People change, and I thank God for being so patient with me. I didn't do everything perfectly, and probably said (or at least thought) some things that I didn't mean after I had time to reflect. Also, I'm sorry that these events have given some people (plural) a reason to believe that Christians are no different from the unsaved because we do the same things. I've truely lost my witness with some people that I've been praying for, and that's unfortunate. I hope to someday have the wisdom to explain what *this* Christian did when faced with some challenging revelations, uncomfortable decisions and impossible circumstances. Darn, I'm being self-rightous again - sorry.

I can't believe the number of people who came out of the woodwork to pray for me. Thank you everyone! Meanwhile, the pen of my life is on the last page of this chapter. I don't know how or when God will begin the next chapter, but I'm certain that this story will end with, "happily ever after."
