    ..patiently waiting to be invited into her heart

  36. I have been praying so long for peace in my life as a very abuse wife and mother. . I ask god to forgive me for getting a divorce but it’s not my fault. I have begged God over and over again to give my soon to be ex. Husband a heart and a memory So that he would remember how horribly was to me. How he wished my unborn child to be dead and then she died. How he put his hands on me and told me to kill myself at least fifteen times a day. I want vindication but I will not get in it instead. He is winning in every way. Even my children are spending Christmas with him. And the man is jewish and doesn’t even celebrate christmas. I beg God to have mercy on my soul and to let me find love again and finally be v indicated. Because I have been tortured for too long. I doubt it will ever happen. I guess it is God’s will for me to live like this for the rest of my life.
