Life After DivorceSample

EMBRACE THE NEW YOU

 "I've lost myself, and I cannot find me. I want to get back to where I was, but I don't know which way to go. I must continue this journey from where I am. And walk a path that I do not know." Stephanie Jennings-Stratford (2001)

As you recover from the loss of your old life, you must embrace your new life. Divorce brings many unexpected changes. You may have anticipated losing your house, but did not expect the loss of your friends. Your church family may distance themselves from you. Your family structure and daily routine will change.  If you married young, this season may be the first time you are on your own. Your financial situation is likely to be affected. Life as you knew it is over. Take the time you need to debrief and to get reacquainted with the authentic you.  Use this time to rediscover and recreate yourself.

While you go through what may well be the most difficult time of your life, know that God is with you, lighting your path and guiding you with His love and compassion. He has promised not to leave or forsake us. Turn to Him when you are feeling uncertain and alone. He will mend your broken heart.

QUESTIONS: What lessons have you learned during the divorce process? What do you want to accomplish in the future? Do you know who you are and what you need?
