Ohio,
I agree with this. I had no one to go to but the Lord, which is the way it's supposed to be anyway. It was a difficult time, but now that it's long over with, I am grateful that the Lord opened my eyes about a lot of things. I read a book one time titled "Don't Waste Your Sorrows" by Billheimer. It expressed this thought pretty well..
