An Introduction to the Story

The simple believes everything, but the prudent gives thought to his steps. Proverbs 14:15

Thanks for joining me!

It has been over seven years now since the story ended on my other blog, prayingforsuzanne.com. While that story ended, life kept on going for those of us left behind. As I have been largely silent for some years now, I have been recently encouraged by those close to me, to tell the story as it has unfolded. I feel the time has come now to tell that story here.

The story will be told with several purposes in mind.

– The first is to tell my side of the story, as there have been many things said about me behind my back.

– The second is to share the story with the hope that it will encourage someone else finding themselves in a similar path.

The story will be divided into several different parts. There are many stories within the story, but they all intertwine, and contribute to the whole story. Who I have become today is a product of those many stories. This story will make more sense to those who are Christians, but I hope it is a story that can be of interest and help to everyone.

• I will be writing about my history and Suzanne’s history. I will have to give a background so the story can be better understood.

• I will be writing about Suzanne’s sickness, and giving more details about things that were going on behind the scenes, including incredible family turmoil within her family.

• I will be writing about the time period when I was a widower raising my four kids. I will go into the incredible inner struggle of what it was like to be in that place.

• I will be writing about how I came to meet my second wife. I will address the mistakes I made, and I will be telling about what it was like to be married to someone who I initially trusted and believed all her stories. As our marriage progressed, I started to wonder about all the stories I had been told, and started to question things. This will be a painful look at a very hard two years of my life. I will be describing what it took afterwards, and the costs involved, to find out the truth about her and her family.

• I will be writing about how the church group that I spent my whole life in, came together and rallied around Suzanne and our family during and after her sickness. I will be writing about how through the terrible trial of my second marriage, a few individuals could then turn the whole group against me. I will spend some time going through some history with these individuals, and how it all plays out in the big picture.

• I will be writing about walking away from the church group that I spent my whole life in, and sharing what the ups and downs of that journey has been like.

• At the end of this story, I will share what the last chapter of this life has been like. Many have heard through the grape-vine about me, but I will get to give you a front row seat into what this chapter is all about.

So, buckle up and hang on! Over the next few months to years, or longer, I will be sharing this story chapter by chapter. As I have grown and changed through these last few years, my ultimate purpose is to be of help and encouragement to those going through a similar trial or trials, and show that there is hope in the journey!

I hope the story of Where The Path Leads Me, is an encouragement to you!
