OK so life is getting much better! I have made it to the Temple! That's the best part! I bought a motorcycle, I call it the Bumble Bee. I quit wearing my wedding ring, it was giving me a rash! My kid's friends all think I'm cool! They see me coaching football, breakdancing at their dances, riding a motorcycle, and doing things with my kids. They also see me taking them to church, having family home evening and family scripture study. My branch is on fire with missionary work! My job is going well even though I don't get paid enough for the responsabilities I have. I am able to let go of my wife and not feel panic when I think of her, and I don't think of her very often any more. I have made some very good friends, like aurorasungem, cgrantreed, hemidakota and many others! I have come so far in such a short time! I look back over the last 4 months and I am amazed at all that has happened! I have to say thank you to my wife for kicking me out of my home! I would have never left and I would have hung on with all my might! I am better off; Even though the kids and I have to deal with the games she wants to play. I had adopted her exhusband's brother's kids, and now she is turning them against me. She tries her best to do the same with our two biological kids, but they love me too much. I know everything will be fine, I have been given wittness from the Holy Ghost concerning it. I know that there are family members that have passed through the veil watching over the children. The lord has truly blessed me with all I stand in need of and more! Like Job I have been blessed for my faithfulness! Unlike job I did not have to suffer near to death to get there. I did go through excruciating pain and heart ach that still has some lasting effects. I did not have to have flesh eating worms, or boils, or have my children die. I did lose most of my possesions but have been given much more to replace them! I have been truly blesded! The lord really does make strengths out of our weeknesses if we will simply be faithful!
