How I finally broke FREE of my 3 year relationship with a married man

I was angry at God. From 30-40, I did "all the right things" to prepare myself to "be the one" as I prayed and waited for my Boaz. I didn't drink, smoke, do drugs or have sex--for crying out loud, I can count on one hand the number of dates I went on during that decade. So here I was, 3 months shy of my 40th birthday and never did I imagine that I would be unmarried without my 26-year-old-dream of 2.5 kids, a silver Tahoe and a house with a white picket fence, a pool and a dog. That anger led me to make a choice that forever changed my life: I entered into a relationship with a married man. It was a dark time--one of the darkest of my life--as I continued to try and "fill a void" with something that only God could fulfill. Patterns emerged as I binged on food, alcohol, promiscuity and even good things like God, church, and exercise. Every vice was an attempt for me to fill the God-shaped hole in my heart. In 2017, God called me out of the relationship for good. He removed me from the situation of shame, hypocrisy, guilt, regret and so much more.   I couldn't address the theme of freedom this month without addressing a small part of how I finally broke free of this 3-year-extra-marital-afffair. Thank you, Lord!  I pray this blesses you and gives you hope that FREEDOM awaits--it is what Jesus died to give us, we just need to claim it.
