ann kiemel

i just happened to take a glance online

(something i NEVER do except facebook.

in BIG LETTERS, it said ann kiemel and

husband divorce.

hmmmm.

who would come up

with such a salacious lie as this?

i don't think anyone who is married would say

it's a piece of cake.  for me, it was, hands down,

the hardest thing i ever did.  somehow, by Divine

grace, will and i clung to our vows made before

God,  and only in the last five days of his life

did the children and i feel really loved by him.

a tornado swoops in.  we are all hiding in the

bath tub together.  praying for the Lord to

save us.  tornadoes rip through our souls,

and carry carnage through our veins, and puncture

wounds so deep we cannot stop the bleeding

of pain and resentment..

i do not think that Jesus abandons those who

are divorced.  He may "hate divorce", but He

is sorrowed by many things beyond divorce.

we are all broken.  

all of us have shadows we wish weren't

there.  but...

blow on the trumpet.  hit the drums.  get

the organ going.  Jesus is our Husband and

Father. everything..every failure, every lost

place...it is ALL covered by the Blood.  all

of it.  so now we will sing and celebrate.

it doesn't matter what others think of us, it

is ALL about what God sees when He sees

pure hearts.
