Rejected. Divorced. Loved.
September 4th, 2009 | 
Author: I’ve spent a lot of time recently considering how much of my personal story I wanted to share online. Some of you know the bombshell that dropped in my life two months ago. Others, who aren’t familiar with my story, are probably wondering if I was ever going to write something other than a book review. I believe the time is now.
As I contemplate what to say and how to say it, two things are running through my head. First, I want what I write to be a blessing and encouragement to others in the same situation. Second, over the past year, maybe longer, I spent a lot of time praying and asking God to give me a book to write. I always thought it would be a historical fiction book. I’ve even tried my hand at it. Now I realize I have a much greater story to tell, and it probably won’t be fiction……
Four years and almost 1 month to the day after I stood before God and pledged my life to my husband, I woke up to find him gone. For good. Not coming back. Ever. That happened in early July. Since then I’ve grieved, learned to deal with the pain of rejection, went to my first divorce hearing, found out how amazing and gracious God really is, and discovered I have some of the best friends in the world.
Will you join with me as I tell you my story? For those who have walked this same road, I’d love to hear your personal stories – how God created beauty from the ashes in your life. Leave me a comment or if you don’t want to talk publicly, send me an email.

Hi Kara,
Wow! We’re both walking the same road. I found out last November from my 22 yr. old daughter that my husband of 23 yrs had been cheating on me. I kicked him out and have been slowly putting my life back together. It’s not been easy, however I’m better! He was making me physically sick; I have epilepsy and he was causing me to have seizures. I was in a horrific car accident in 07 and he didn’t want me to walk again and I am now walking. My life is 110% better without him. God will keep you! Believe it! Grace & Peace, Andi

Sounds like a very good idea. I will continue to pray for your unplanned journey and for your to seek God’s continual guidance.

Oh my gosh Kara! I had no idea this was happening to you. Are you ok? Are you going to stay in West Virginia. I can’t even believe this.
