Thanks to God for passing my comprehensive exams on the first time. I prayed that my exams would find favor in the hands of the readers, and they have. God has heard my prayers and honored them. To him I owe thanks.

I have come to the realization that I am completely unable to tell the difference (in the early phases) between a man who: 1) wants to be with me simply because he enjoys my company, and 2) one who wants to be with me simply because he doesn't want anyone else to be. The difference might seem trivial at first glance, but in reality it is monumental in the latter stages. Both of my husbands fit the second.

Imagine the second being like a small child. In a child this behavior is easy...

1 Peter 2: 13-25 NIV

13 Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every authority instituted among men: whether to the king, as the supreme authority,

15 For it is God's will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish men.
16 Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God.

Being pregnant alone is difficult. I can certainly empathize with all the women out there who have been abandoned by their men in these times. It is probably much more difficult for women such as myself who are experiencing this after years of marriage.

Pregnancy is a time of special intimacy between the husband and wife. No, not just sex. (Although some women do crave it exponentially more during pregnancy.) I mean the intimacy that comes from sharing in the special moments...

I posted this on the forum, but I thought I'd stick it in my blog..... I am having a girl. I am so thankful to God because he ha known it was what I wanted, and now with my marriage ending in divorce he has at least given me a little ray of sunshine.

Yep...marriage ending. But can't fully end till the baby is born. At least it is getting filed with temporary orders in place.

Starting divorce class this Monday. Looking forward to it. The kids go the same time I do....
