Hot Rod Preacher?

[Bamamav]

Good to hear from ya. We're here if ya need us to talk to. Stand your ground while doing what you think is right. She may not think it's right, but then again, she thought getting rid of you was the right thing, and we know she was wrong there.

Maybe this will help

I been through a bout like this and this scripture helped me stay focused. read Psalm 37:4 and live it. "Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart."

 

[Rev Tex Devlle]

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

here again for a few minutes to give an update...

*went to a lawyer and we are working up a counter offer

*she has moved the majority of the furniture to her new place & kids are excited about where it is so that helps some

*went to church this morning where many friends of mine go & some of my family. I was warmly welcomed by people who know what is going on & are sympathetic w/o being overbearing or rude

*possibly found a place to move to temporarily so as to have a place for me n kids to be "us" & not be in anyone's way

*gonna try to finish project "summer of '68" this week & will even attempt to put up a few final pics of what it looks like

 

[hotrod preacher]

another reason i like this place so much

Preacher, you are beginning to heal, whether you realize it or not. You can tell when you start having more good days than bad days. I can tell by the attitude in your post that you are taking this better, and that is great.

Keep doing what you are doing, get out among old friends, don't be afraid to admit what has happened (at least half the marriages today go through the same thing) and hold your head up high. You are the same guy you were a little while ago, just your family situation has changed. They can't take away from you the good person you are inside........no one can do that.

Glad to hear things are possibly working out for ya. Why can't you stay in your old place?

If I remember right the house came with the church.

 

[hotrod preacher]

first step toward some closure..
i went today and finished my part of the clean up & moving from the church parsonage...
i feel somewhat saddened because of the way things ended, but still love those people & always will
tomorrow i hope for another step in the process... hearing from my lawyer

getting kids every week on wednesday evening, looking forward to seeing those little buggers...even been working together on a project...

thanks again guys, keep things going here while i'm out

 

[sgtpontiac]

Keep the faith!!

Do what you need to do and remember he's always at your side...

 

[hotrod preacher]

i am back just for a few minutes today...

1st - who ever likes hot weather CAN HAVE IT BACK! its been miserably hot and dry here

2nd - she has said she would agree to my counter offer... if i can get it to her before she changes her mind-lol

3rd - got the little house to move into...it is my dad's place thru inheritance -was my grandparents place many years ago...moved some stuff over but i've not moved in yet...
really is crazy, but i'm looking forward to just waking up on a saturday morning with my kids n turning on the cartoons n enjoying the "couch-time"

sorry if you guys get tired of these "updates" being the only thing i'm doing right now, but if/when i get time i'll share some pics of another build project & the finishing pics of the last one...


thanks again guys for being here

Tired of the updates ??? We would ex-communicate you if you didn't keep us posted on how you are doing ! (I think that is more of a Catholic thing, but you get the idea. )

You are turning the corner, Preacher. Life will start getting some sense of normalcy now, and every day will be slightly better than the last. Having a place to call home with the kids visiting will be a great step in the right direction.

Good for you.

Don

PS, if you need any tips on doing laundry or cooking, I'm your man. We single guys have to stick together. Maybe Tripper should have a section for tips on how to survive life without a woman around to take care of us.

HRP,

Man I've been there, done that, and lost everything and it looks like I'll be doing it again. It just isn't easy no matter what anybody says...it's painful. It seems cliche and it may not seem so now but it's true, the only thing that makes it better is time. You'll get through it and you'll be stronger in the end my friend. Good luck.

 

[Sam_Fear]

Always glad to hear from you HRP. Even better that it's good news.

 

[CR55]

All right HRP....things are beginning to look up for ya...gonna be a tough road for a bit, but it'll get better.....and no we never tire of the updates....cr

 

[maverickmk]

Please don't ever be sorry about updates. We are here for you and always will be. It sounds like the worst is over, now the healing can begin.

 

[Sniper]

A lot of us on here have been through the divorce grinder and know exactly what your feeling. It's not a fun deal for anybody but like some have said, time heals.

 

[sgtpontiac]

HRP.....you are on the road man....

Sounds like things are turning the corner......take it day by day.....have some good quality time with the youngins.......still praying for you.....Never get tired of hearing how you're doing.....
