Dear Lady. Ann:
I am a single mother of 3 (15, 17, and 23). I’ve been divorced for 6 years. My divorce was very hard, including protective orders, police and lots of nights filled with crying. I have met a man a year ago who brought me back to God. He has put my broken pieces back together. I believe he was sent into my life when I needed him most. I believe I was placed in his when he needed me most. He had just lost his wife to cancer a year and a half before we met. We have deep conversations about everything from God to music to our deepest secrets.
Recently he said he needed to step back and refocus on himself. He does not want me out of his life but he does not want to move forward. I believe he got scared because we have developed a strong relationship. I have prayed for this man daily. For his healing, his peace with his past and for our future together. I want to leave everything in God’s hands and stand strong in my faith that God’s plans for me are good. I need prayer to know what I should do with this amazing man in my life. I truly feel he could be my partner, my yoke. We both believe in building a relationship around a foundation in God’s word. I pray God opens his heart and eyes to what our relationship should be.
