Why did I name this hoping through divorce?
In 2024 I was in the most vulnerable situation a spouse could be in, deciding whether to stay or to go. Not deciding physically because my husbands default setting seemed to be to leave anytime staying felt unfamiliar.
At the doorway into adulthood he joined the military so for 12 years he lived a detached lifestyle.
He had already trained his mind to leave the life he had known for the unknown.
Knowing he could be deployed, which is what happened a couple of times, he didn’t form any concrete connections. He learned to travel light, both emotionally and physically.
That attachment style showed up in our marriage.
So deciding to stay was about my spiritual and emotional position.
The answer seemed so clear, after all the culture we live in celebrates walking away as strength and standing firm as, well, stupidity frankly.
Who wants to feel stupid? Not me I have a responsibility to empower women to be relevant and strong. I’m Keisha from Decatur!
Or so I thought. Right when I was sure that walking away was the most obvious and sensible option the Holy Spirit said do not file for divorce. God hates divorce!
In full transparency, I was disappointed. I felt abandoned by God. I felt like someone was playing a cruel trick on me until I realized, wait God is up to something miraculous.
Stay tuned for next….
