I left my wife last June and the divorce was final in November. Now she is back with her first husband. I always felt I was in the way of them getting back together...He raised her 3 now grown girls and two of them were not his. I just felt that I didn't fit in the picture and was shuffled to the back. Its over and done with now. I moved back to South Arkansas and spend my time with my 75 year old dad and my brother who is single. I am 56 years old and not established in a church....It is tough to go alone. But I know I need to get serious about getting back involved. I checked out a church this last Sunday. I loved the worship and the message....At the end of the service there were two ladies greeting near the back door, the first lady was not very friendly. she took a step back, i smiled and extended my hand anyway. she shook my hand....the second lady was friendlier and asked my name. I'm not going to volunteer that I have been divorced twice. I am done with marriage....I just cannot mentally handle a marriage relationship. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can not mentally handle a marriage relationship it is wise to know that and stay single. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He talked about consecrating those things in our life that should be put first like our relationship with God, our family, the church, integrity, and purity. He had a bucket with each priority named on it. He used a invisible fence. if he slipped in a area or left the gate open a little bit it would allow the enemy in to effect those other areas he had consecrated. I think the illustration was done really well. I hope I explained it so others could understand. I will be going back Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I know people are going to want to know why I am 56 and single. I will tell the pastor and if anyone else asks I will just tell them I'm divorced. I don't know its sort of embarrassing..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you do become a prominent congregant, people are going to take natural interest in your personal life. Of course how you respond and what you say is your business. Just remember that a lot of Christians can be inordinately curious about you if you appear secretive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
