Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives...let it be incorruptable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. 1 Peter 3:1

Divorce and Dancing
By: Katie

When we finally got things settled…I danced in front of the court house as I waited for my ride. I could not explain the joy….the freedom. I was alone…no one came to court with me that day…But I called PP and told her it was over…at least for my part……It is a sad thing to have joy over, the fact that a marriage is dead, the fact that the 2 that became 1 have been ripped apart. But I know I was biblically released from this marriage. From the abuse and his use of women, I knew I was free. I know God has a future and a hope for me. I know this is not the end of my story. I know God gives us the choice daily of LIFE or DEATH. My FH chose death, a life of sin and self. I know my choice was Life. For me and my kids. The life that God has for us. It was a sad thing to celebrate. But with God, He makes beauty out of ashes. He turns mourning into dancing. It was a snowy cold January day in Michigan and I danced. People looked at me…but I danced.
