ODB online

Am listening now to this radio clip of marriage on the ODB website. Wow it really taught me some things even though i am not married yet. Very educational. Lately, i haven't been too close to God i admit so i went online to look for something to read and technology being technology you can now listen to the devotionals. I have always learned better through listening so that was good.

So ya...Clint and Penny's story and experiences taught me to be aware of a few things before i got married. Marriage can eat someone up even if you really love each other so much. There are some thing that we hide from each other as a couple and that sometimes causes a beautiful reltionship to stumble. So commuication is essential in relationships. I realize it is so important to have church friends and connections; ppl we can talk to when things go wrong. And it is also important to deal with things as soon as they happen. This couple waited 11 years to settle their problem. They divorced and got married again after 11 years. Couples don't have to stay away from each other to settle things on their own but learn to settle things together. And how praying together to God to know if things are according to His will is so important.

Sometimes i think that i have all things figured out just like Clint did but it's all a lie. I need God before, i need God now and I need God for the future. I need God's mercy and grace more than ever. He wants to be part of my life and i...i have been taking many shortcuts in my relationship with Him. But i know now that I have to go all the way coz He went all the way to the cross for me.

I'm sorry God. Forgive me. Wrap me in you arms... I miss you.
