Why God Called Me Now To Heal Hearts

That’s me giving myself away, walking down the aisle alone on my wedding day. It wasn’t that my daddy didn’t want to be there, it’s just that the wedding was very last minute. It was almost like we eloped. My whole family knew, our families knew, but they didn’t know because we were taking a trip together with some friends, and we were all going to Jamaica. We thought, hey, why don’t we have a destination wedding and get married on this beautiful island? Well, that’s what I thought, and I presented that idea, and it was a winner and that’s what we did. That’s the start of my failed marriage. 

So let’s start by saying one of the reasons why this marriage failed. I believe it’s because it really was not the first pick, either for God or me or him. Like I said before, we were settling. I know there may be questions because you may be like, oh, God called you to help people with relationships, and here you are, divorced. Let’s just clear that up. Let’s bring up the elephant in the room. I’ve been divorced.

 Yes, I am called to help God’s people with relationships. God in His infinite wisdom knows what someone is worthy of, and He gives that wisdom inside the person whom He’s calling. Since God called me in the summer of 2010 to help His people with relationships, then God placed the knowledge and wisdom inside of me, and that includes these experiences like marriage and divorce that I needed to go through in order to better understand relationships and to be able to fully help God’s people.

I’ve gone through that journey the past 30 years, and now I’m here to help you. The knowledge and wisdom I’ve gained over those 30 years is so that you can skip the riffraff and just move forward and get your marriage going, your relationship going, your dating going, whatever level of relationship you’re in. I want to see you have loving and peaceful relationships. Skip all of the mess. Skip all of the hurt and the pain. Go to love right away. Start with love, end your little messes, all the trash can be tossed out. 

In any relationship, there’s going to be some issues you have to overcome. That’s how you grow and get stronger. I used to think, oh, I just want an even-keeled relationship. I don’t want an even-keeled relationship anymore because you’re going to stagnate since nothing ever happens and you never have any issues that you have to work out together.

I’m not saying it has to be a relationship issue, but it could be a business issue. It could be a family issue, with parents or with children or with blended families. It could be any issue. It could be a financial issue. There are issues. There are so many issues in life that any person could deal with at any one time together in an intimate relationship.

That’s why I’m here. I’m here to help you with that. I created a marriage vision map to get you going with thinking about a vision for your marriage. That’s really it. I hope you have a wonderful Father’s Day today and that you continue on in your love walk and come and visit me again for the next portion. These are my divorce diaries.
