Rabbit32 View Profile History	A Rabbit's tale Posted : 17 Aug, 2010 11:57 PM Hey all, my name is Rabbit, I�d like to tell you how I came up with this name. It�s a story about how my mate left me to fend for myself, while I was going to school, taking care of the kids, had an injured back, and only working a part time job. Of course it takes two to tango as they say, but really between our parent�s ungodly parenting, our lack of a strong relationship with God, and mishandling of each other, it�s no wonder we stayed together as long as we did. But, when you don�t choose a mate based on a Godly perspective, wisdom, and His character, you really sell yourself short. We came into our relationship riding high on emotions and �chemistry� never really knowing each other ourselves or God. It�s no wonder over the years our relationship withered away. It came to pass that my ex�s behavior started changing, and I knew something was up, but I wasn�t sure what. One afternoon I called her out on it, and she admitted she wanted out. I guess if I was to give a reason, it would be because she thought the grass was greener on the other side. I was crushed; so much pain, feelings of rejection, and worse loneliness. At the time I was out of fellowship with God, but I needed God more than ever before. I asked my ex if we could pray about it, but she said she didn�t believe. I didn�t know that all this time I was yoked to an unbeliever. What�s worse was I was unable to really protect what we had, or stop her from taking the kids if she wanted, I had absolutely no support system. I had no one but God. There were days I just didn�t know if I would have the strength to go on. We survived off of very little income, with even less help from people. Of course God used some people to help me, but my Lord carried me through all of it. I was endlessly trying to go to school, trying to figure out how I was going to pay the bills, and trying to answer the kids� questions, and dry their tears, because mom was gone and they didn�t know why. However I found joy and peace, I fell in love with a God that I never really knew about. I learned to love my ex with an agape love. There wasn�t a time we went hungry or cold. Our bills were always paid, and if I recall correctly we lived better than we should have for that situation. Today I have the kids, house, vehicles I need, a job that fits my schedule and suite my needs, and I am in my last year of school for my undergraduate degree. I also have an awesome church family who has loved me very much. What�s amazing is I couldn�t and often didn�t do anything to put me in a better position. I am blessed more than I know. Like a rabbit I was helpless, the enemy hounded me day and night, but God was my victor. He empowered me to stand against all who opposed me. There�s a saying in my neck of the woods among hunters. �It�s no fun when the rabbit has the gun� Post Reply

May I ask, since your life seems to be pretty full, how do you see yourself starting a relationship/a new family now? I guess some wounds might not be healed yet... Chin up :) if God is for us, who can be against us? Lots of blessings your way, Marianna Post Reply
Rabbit32 View Profile History	A Rabbit's tale Posted : 18 Aug, 2010 07:22 PM It would only seem that way, I suppose. I have a void if you would. we are missing a piece of us. In God we can go on for a long while and be ok, but I am no fool. I am missing my rib the one my heart beats in. Im sure some of you will not agree, but a single parent family, is not a whole family. It is very hard to get through, but Gods grace is enough for now. I am not sure how it will start. There arent many men with children. It seems very few women without children want to get involved, while women with children have become problimatic. Blending a family is not easy, like you said my God is for me, He has a future and a hope for me. Im doing all I can to prepare for my new bride, until tahn I must wait. Post Reply

riveroflife1 View Profile History	A Rabbit's tale Posted : 23 Aug, 2010 09:21 PM sounds like your working through it...I've been through something similar just being a single mom is more common and we are de-sensitized to it. All I know is that our Father knows what He is doing. He's got it all figured out. I have a feeling you are in the place right where God wants you. Sorry that happened to you, some peole are very selfish and cannot see past their own feelings/emotions. God is gonna bring you your hearts desire. bless you, Jennifer Post Reply
