When Life Hands You Something You Weren't Expecting

So, I found out my "spiritual mentor" commited adultery. I have had a really hard time getting through it. Its been so hard. Sometimes I feel normal. Right now I do. Then BAM it hits me, that HE, my friend, my leader, the man who had a very important role in my wedding, turned on his wedding vows. This to me just blows my mind. Now I understand that, sin is sin, I commit sin (this sounds weird) everyday. I stumble and fall everyday. I guess this is one of the BIGGES, one that you never think your freind, your spiritual mentor would do. Understand this is compounded by the fact that his wife is my mentor. She is the sweetest person I know. Her spirit is wonderful. I can't imagine why he would do this to her. Their marriage had been through so many up and downs! I just keep praying for them. Hoping one day I will hear from them. I will be able to encourage them both. So right now I'm looking at the ugliness of sin and so thankful I have a Savior who saves us from it all.

A Neat Lil' Diddy

Pull the shutters and tighten the blindfold
Turn away anyone who doesn't fit the mold
The story goes untold
Despite the righteous beliefs that you profess
You still can't cover the stain that marks your Sunday dress
No need to confess


I like this quote! I found it from a kid a work with. Its from a group he likes and right now their name isn't coming to me. I will try to remember to put it to the person's credit when I remember. :)

Blessings!
