Re: I don't feel worthy

Which husband? The husband who divorced me? He's moved on to his third (or is it his fourth?) wife. Or the husband I have now who loves me like Christ loves the Church? As for me being "flaky", I hope you never have occasion to be my patient. I might make some flaky mistake that ends up causing you ill.

Obvisously, your first husband was wise to dump you before you had a chance to poision him.
Proverbs 31
1 The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him.
2 What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows?
3 Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.
4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink:
5 Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.
6 Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.
7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
8 Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.
9 Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.
10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.

Proverbs 12:4
A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.

Uh oh, look out, she's a "doctor".

I usually use blue, but the links are in blue here and I would hate for someone to miss the links because of my font color choice.

Links also get underlined, like this.

Re: I don't feel worthy

Let me guess... this great husband does things more... your sort of way.

Have you given him any sons?

If you mean that he does not sleep with other women, then, yes. If you mean he does not abuse me verbally, physically, or mentally, then yes. If you mean he treats me like I am bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh and respects me as he respects himself, then yes.

Yes, we have sons. Two. And three daughters.

Nurse, thank you. And what exactly is so funny about a woman who is a medical doctor???

With five children, why are you practicing medicine? Who is raising your children?

On the contrary, I was lucky to escape his wicked ways before he killed me or made me infertile through whatever disease he may have brought home from his girlfriends. He has already been warned of the potential consequences of ever stepping foot on my property or approaching me in any manner. (Thanks be to God that I live in a state that gives me the right to protect myself through any means possible when I feel threatened.)

Thankfully, this is how my current husband feels about me (and he says the rest of that proverb applies to me as well).

I don't practice medicine, thank you. Only medical doctors are permitted to practice medicine.

Who raises my children? I do. Sadly, my husband's job does not pay him enough to pay all our bills, and my working one shift per pay period (every two weeks) allows us to eat more than rice and beans and allows our children to have decent clothes on their backs. My husband decided that it is better for me to work this amount than for him to work a second job and not spend as much time with his children as he would like. All he has to do that one day is feed them breakfast and lunch, play with them (or read, or go for a hike) and make sure they do not injure themselves.

Plus, it's good for me to keep up my skills in case something happens to my husband and I have to support myself and my five children on my own instead of going on welfare.

Why don't you just pray to Jesus to lead your husband to a decent paying job? If you love and trust Him, He will take care of you. He promises.

If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?

What makes you think that he and I haven't prayed for this, both together and separately???

If you love and trust the LORD, it will happen. It may not happen in your expected timeline, but if you step out in faith and quit your job, then the LORD will provide.

Unless, that is, you don't really love or trust Him completely. Where are you holding back?

Let's see if I understand you ... I need to NOT follow my husband's leadership and dishonor his wishes that I work one shift a pay period???

He would rather that you neglect your children?

Wow.



Or maybe he wants you to feel ashamed:

(Proverbs 29:15) "The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame."

Maybe this is just your passive-aggressive way to emasculate your husband? Something to consider.

Yours in Christ,

I have to wonder what terrible things you have done (or are still doing) that have not been accepted by Gods Grace. God takes care of those that honestly follow Him. There is a good reason for God ignoring you. For example, you desire to use green colored writing when you know it is not what pleases Him.
Divorce too, is not something that can be condoned by Jesus. A woman may only remarry if her husband dies. Husbands are not like menstra cotton rolls that you can simply toss into the garbage pit when you decide they have out worn their usefulness.
