Friday hubby and I celebrated 5 years of wedded bliss. This is a picture of us. We were married at our favorite museum!
Lesson learned the past few days...
Many people within the Christian circles can be VERY judgmental!! Matt and I know without a doubt that God has called us into full time ministry. We keep running into walls because of my prior divorce. My husband was never married before me. A man who commits murder, sexual sins, robbery ect. is (according to people we have talked to recently) better equipped for ministry than we are because of my divorce BEFORE to salvation!?? This is what we say...God has called us so who are THEY to say that God is wrong in calling us?!
On my mind...
College preparation for myself.
The situation I mentioned above! This really burns me!!
Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verses...
Psalm 75:7
"But God is the Judge, He puts down one, And exalts another."

My parents went thru the same thing as they came to church (and salvation) because their 2nd marriages to each was in trouble. The divorce stigma - especially in a church where so few had experienced divorce - was hard to overcome ... but I think my parents would tell you that GOD can overcome people's judgments. If HE wants you in the ministry, HE will make it possible in HIS time - despite what any person may say/think.
I hate how judgmental I have found people to be in a lot of social circles. It seems a shame I don't take my family to church because of the opinions of other people. Of all the social groups on Earth one would think that a Christian church would be one of the better ones, opening their hearts and their arms to every person with LOVE! Not JUDGEMENT!
I am sure this is a trial you will survive and grow stronger through. Your will and determination will never fail you in a task God has given you.
It's so tough and you're so right, I can't stand the judgement that goes on amongst Christian circles.
My own husband was turned down and pretty much kicked out of church when he become a Christian just because he used to be a wiccan. You would have thought that those would be the people they would embrace the most, but nope. It's sad.
Hang in there, I'm such you will make it through this trial.
I'm so sorry for the judgmental attitudes. It isn't even worth arguing with them about it. Don't let them get you down and just move forward with what you know you were called to do.
