A Dose of Encouragement
Jon wrote, "We've been married for two years and have struggled with many challenges. My ex-wife's manipulation for more money, my wife's ex-husband has anger issues, and our five kids have us chasing our tails. We pray daily and go to church but we still get tempted to divorce." I'm not going to blow smoke. Some stepfamilies have a lot of distress and it's hard to stay encouraged. Like Moses and the Israelites trapped between the Red Sea and Pharaoh's army, God will provide a path. Don't quit.
