Let me preface this by saying that writing my thoughts does not come easily to me. It is very hard for me to express what is in my head and heart. My thoughts are often jumbled and confused. I do not have a talent for writing. Bear with me!!
I sit here a little sad. I was just reading a different blog, and it's about a christian lady who's "Christian" husband left her for another woman. He was what appeared to all a good "Godly" christian man, and yet he has turned his back so ferociously on God and his family.
There is a lady in our church who is going through the same thing. They were once an upstanding christian family in our church. He was loved and respected. Her family is still loved and respected. But he left her for another woman. He is cruel to my friend now. HIS OWN WIFE!! (well now ex-wife. He has now married his new woman) Who he once loved and cherished!
My heart goes out to these lady's. You both will truly be in my prayers. I cannot imagine what you are going through.
What is going on these days with the men in our churches???? I think that is what I am most sad about. In my opinion, it seems to be the women that are the stronger, more spiritual these days. (This is a generality. I realize that there are some incredible christian men out there. We have some in our church.) But we have even more women who are looking, really searching, and wanting to live a christian life. WHY IS THIS????? Why can't the men stand up and take lead. I know that this is what I want in my home. I don't want to be the one to say let's not watch this, or let's not listen to this. I want him to say.....in my house, we will serve the Lord.
I just wish that I could see more men taking a stand. I wish that I could see more men really wanting and yearning, and searching for God. I think that if more men did this, we would have less men leaving their wives without a husband, and less men leaving their kids without a full time father. Why can't there be a call for men to lead their families. And not just a call but for men to stand up and answer that call.
The prayer of my heart is that God will keep my hubby and me close together. I never want to experiance what these woman are facing now in their lives.

You know Julie, I think you make a good point. Many men are not exactly leading women these days, are they. All we can do is pray for and encourage them. So start praying for Jeremy in this area if you have not already, see what happens. Love ya.
