I now feel better about life and myself and i never looked back. religion works for you because you want to believe so bad you lie to yourself. your story is either made up or you are deluding yourself.I can tell you that if I was told that I would have to endure a 250 dollar aday herion addicted wife, for the first 5 years of our marriage, or near bankruptcy, or alienation from my family, or loss of friends or being shunned from our church, or any of the really bad things I am not going to talk about here I would have probably taken the easy way out along time ago. I was given exactly what I need to endure those trials and nothing else. These things were not told to me so I could convince others, nor did I change them in anyway to convince you of what I know to be true. I have given you an accurate picture of what it is like when you get what YOU Need from God. It will mean little to nothing to anyone else. But for you Nothing else will matter.

First off it's too bad you went through that, but there is a problem in you thinking that God gave what you needed for your situation. Many people including Christians go through bad times and end up killing themselves.
God was not there for them. I am sure you will say at this point God called them home, a great excuse Christians always use. Maybe you
were just stronger. As far as how you met your love interest that means absolutely nothing. If i turned down several women sooner or later i might hook up and then foolishly believe it was destined You see there are a million people for, you, me and everyone out there. If it gets you through your day to believe that God is looking down from heaven (always thought that someone looking down at me from heaven is creepy) knock yourself out.
PS I am more interested in how God communicated to you Is it just a feeling or does he talk to you? I am serious with my question. If you are uncomfortable with answering that don't worry about it. just curious
