Small Group Lead
Married 6 years divorced single mom for 6 years. I’ll be brief, but I wanted to share a little bit about myself and my heart for this group.
When my daughters were one two years old, we fled the state. Left everything and moved 3 1/2 hours away to Roswell Ga. My ex-husband at the time had been cycling through some pretty destructive mental health disorders and drug abuse. After many years of begging the Lord to save my marriage, my prayer change to Lord, save us (my girls and I) Lord rescue us.
I served divorce papers to his girlfriend‘s house at the time, and it was almost a year later when he even figured out that we had moved or that we were even divorced. He had just checked out at that point.
There were so many nights in the past decade that I asked God how am I even going to survive this? And to be honest, I didn’t even want to live through this. But even after knowing God my entire life, it was in those moments where I didn’t want to keep going- I really met God for the first time. I experienced Him. He taught me who He was. He taught me who I am. And as hard as it is to say- without those times of pain that I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy- He met me and gave me a place to rest and I am certain that He is already doing the same work in you.
