Don and all,
Praise God for the blessings and the trials!  I too have a relatively
personal testimony.  After too many years expecting God to bless my plans
and actions while drifting closer to the rocks, God finally got through to
me.  God used the failure of my marriage to get my attention.  We never
should have married to start with.  The break up put me in a somewhat
difficult financial situation and the divorce was long and drawn out.  So
many people advised me to just give in and get it over with.  But I knew
that God had other plans.  At the 11th hour my wife gave in and agreed to
settle.  I knew all along that God was working behind the scene to work this
out for me.  There was nothing I could do to effect the outcome and I was at
peace with that.  Actually, every time I let someone convince me to get
involved, things only got worse.  Now, the divorce over, and as '08 opens, I
praise God for working in my life last year and am looking forward to the
blessing and challenges coming.  I have no one to depend on me, I have
nothing to hold me down (which are both blessing and challenges).  There are
so many things that I could do now and too many questions I ponder, but I am
trying to continue to leave it all in His hands and just listen.  *Thank you
Jesus, bring on the rain or the sun in '08, whatever brings You **glory**!*
Mark
