A few years back I was in a loveless marriage and was beaten many times by my ex. One day I went to a friends house to get water we didn't have running water in our house. Any way while I was there a friend of hers showed up. We had a good time we laughed for about 2 hours we had a great time. This guy treated me like a real lady. I found this odd because I was so fat and I figured ugly. On the way home I prayed that God would give me this man. A little while later my ex was fighting with me about being fat and I went for a walk I walked 3 miles to the friends house I got water from. And to my surprise this man I had met awhile back showed up. He asked me if I wanted a job working with him. I said yes. And I walked everyday that 3 miles. My ex incouraged me to work with this guy. Then one day I got home and my ex locked me out. My husband now told me to come to his house and live with him. Nothing about us becoming anything but friends. But the next morning he asked me to marry him and that has been well over 3 years ago. Don't you think God works in mysterious ways?

Greetings, Your story has touched me so much. I had been through an abusive relationship twice in a row with the same husband who was also my ex- husband several years ago. I decided I needed to learn from my mistakes and quit repeating them. For me, I feel that if I had not focus so much in making sure I was married by the time I was 20 instead left it up to the Lord to send me the man He wanted me to have, I'm sure I would of had a wonderful marriage by now. So it truly pays to let God have His way instead of our own ways. I figured that it is just best to leave it up to God. Since He knows who I need for a marriage partner than I do myself if it is still His will for my life. Yes, indeed God does do things in a mysterious ways. Though it hasn't been in a relationship just yet for me, it doesn't mean that He wouldn't do it later. So I'm very happy for you on how God worked it all out. God richly bless you and your family. Have a wonderful day.

Greetings, It's great to hear you are always trusting in God in every area of your life. Back then in my early 20's I wasn't spiritually mature enough to trust God in this area of my life at the time. I was determined that I was not going to follow my father's advice in waiting til I was 30 to get married. It must of bugged the daylights out of me as I knew I was getting closer to graduating with my GED at a Job corp center. I was the only one out of the 3 children that did not stick it out to graduate from high school. Now, as I look back, my oldest daughter a few years ago did about the same thing I did she did not graduate from high school. Though I have to handed to her she is doing her best to get a college degree for the past 4 years. Not to say I haven't tried, I have but it just wasn't for me. Well, anyway, I have grown spiritually more mature over the last few years that I have seen many of God's blessings poured out on my life. He is awesome in all that he does for us. I have truly learned how to trust Him now in every area of my life including this one. Thank you for your encouragement for me to pray that God will send the right one in my life. Many blessing to you my friend.

HiCCdiane. I didn't always trust God either. I was brought up in a Christian home and didn't understand why I got an abusive mother so that is why I didn't know what to trust back then. As the years went by and I matured more I couldn't find a church that taught the truth about Gods word so I was slack in my life. But 2004 I found a real teacher of Gods word http://www.shepherdschapel.com/index.htm. I found this man on TV because I was mad at my ex thank God. I knew he hated the word of God because he had never been taught the truth either. And I turned this man on loud because the sob woke me up at one in the morning and then went back to bed and wanted me to stay up till 5am to wake him. And as I listened to this man teach I heard something that really turned me on to the word of God. I think that is when I asked God to guide me and show me what HE wanted from me. Now I can't go a day without listening to this man teach Gods word. I wish I had learned of this teacher of Gods word many years ago I might have not gone down the wrong path many years ago. But I think God sent me this teacher of Gods word. My life has done nothing but get better since I found this teacher. I begin that day asking God to show me a way out of that marriage and look what God did for me HE sent me a man that treats me like I am a queen. God does hear our prayers and keeps them all in a place in heaven. God may not always say yes to our prayers but God knows what is best for us. I know that God does answer our prayers with what HE knows will do us the best. Keep praying and God will send you the right person to spend the rest of your life with! Thank you for the blessings and may God bless your life with many many blessings my friend!

Hi Cediane and welcome to my lot. I have always trusted in God and when I feel a need for God to guide me I just put it in HIS hands and know what ever HE does it is for the best. I had been in many abusive relationships and have always trusted God to show me a way out of them. I know that what ever God does in my life it will be for the best. Pray about it and ask God to send you a loving person to share your life and God will send you the right person to share your life. God has blessed me many times in my life but it is only because I trust in HIS knowledge not because I am special or anything cause God respects no human. Thanks for your comments and may God bless you too my friend. Have a great day!

I'm glad that eveything works out between you and him. I think it is better if you left your ex because from your story he doesn't sound like a good man. Anyway, you have met a good man now and you are happy. That is what is important. Enjoy the rest of your life with him. Take care and have a nice day.

Hi. free_man. I enjoyed reading your story! I am so glad that you have a man that truly loves you and that does not treat you like dirt either. I am glad that God has blessed you. So the guy you ended up walking to work for was indeed your current husband as of now? Why would your ex lock you out of your own house? Did he suspect that you and this guy were in love? Oh well, he lead you to what you really needed and it was not him! I am glad that you found your true love. I could not imagine staying with a man that has beaten me and did not love me at all. He was very mean to have locked you out of your home together too. I am glad that this man is no longer a part of your life anymore. You deserve someone that is going to honor and treat you like the queen, that you are.

truly God never gives us trial that we can't handle and gives us more than what we ask for. I love your story and its very inspiring. It made me realize that everything will fall into place if we just have the patience.

Hi Midnightbliss and welcome to my lot. God only gives us what HE knows we can handle and HE always shows us a way out of our situations that we put ourselves in. Patience is learned and understood. When I was younger I didn't have patience I was real quick to anger especially if it was something that was against one of my children. I don't get so upset since I have let God guide my life.
