The Foggy Sunrise!


Still getting Naked........

The Foggy Sunrise???? What??? stick with me I will explain.

In 1995 i graduated from Cooper City High school. Two years later i married my high school sweet heart. Two kids that were crazy about each other decided to get married. We had two beautiful kids. Kayla (9) Andres. (6). We were married 7 1/2 years when my wife at the time, decided she needed a change in life, and that change did not include me in the picture. I could not stop it, i did everything in my power to save my marriage but her mind was made up and that was it. It broke my heart. I have never suffered the way i suffered when i faced my divorce, never cried the why i did during my divorce, it was horrible!

The nakedness.......
My heart has never been the same since. I have been on a emotional rollercoaster chained to my fears of ever finding someone that would love me the way i want to be loved, and more importantly finding someone that i could love with all of my heart. I have been so frustrated throughout the years because my heart has been chained by these fears. Many times i feel so alone and as a failure. Sometimes with my kids as well, because i feel there is not enough time in the day to be everything that i need to be for them.

The naked truth.......
Yes! these years have been so frustrating at times, yes i am scared, many times.
I am not sure what the answer is to all these questions but what i do know is i will not QUIT!
I will not quit because the bible says "Greater is he who is me, then he who is in the world". I will not quit because i have seen that God has never failed me. My God loves me, I know that he has shown me over and over. I will rest in his promise in James 4:14 How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone.

Foggy - yeah there are days it's all foggy and i can't see God's purpose but i can't lose sight of the....
Sunrise- God, in his ways letting me know "Son, I got you, fear not, I am with you always, the best is yet to come".

If you are reading this i write this not to get you to feel sorry for me, it is to share with you the Hope that keeps me alive, that keeps me moving forward, pushing me to finish the race. I hope that whatever scenario you find yourself challenged by that my story gives you hope to not quit! God bless you.
