IDNTIMWYTIM 4 (and final)

I told her on Monday she would need to go to counseling with her husband as a condition of employment. She told me on Tuesday morning she would and she would complete the 13 week course. On Thursday morning she told me she had found employment elsewhere and wanted out of her job.

So, I told her to finish up what she was working on, get with her team to make arrangements for her exit, and then go ahead and leave when she could. She was gone by lunch.

This was the best last chance she had to let God work on her heart and her marriage. She just couldn't or wouldn't do it. We care deeply for her and hurt for her. But now she's chosen a path that will make everything incredibly more difficult. So goes another person and another family devoured by the Adversary. I hate him.

I want to always be a man who follows Jesus--no matter how difficult. Calling yourself a Christ-follower doesn't necessarily mean that you are. For some, I do not think it means what you think it means.
