A new life

Pam Waller

I was searching for answers. I felt sure there had to be more to life than being born, raising children, growing old, and dying. There had to be more to life than that.

I had to make a change in my life, but I didn't know how. I was in an unhappy marriage, which seemed destined to fail, and I didn't know which way to turn next. I wanted to be happily married and have a wonderful father for my children. I'd spent my early childhood years in a home filled with violence and abuse. So a happy family life was the most important thing I could think of. I'd spent many nights in tears. I was taking sleeping pills because I wasn't able to sleep. And I was going to a chiropractor for neck problems. I also had migraine headaches.

About the marriage, I figured I had three choices: (1) stay in it and just live with it; (2) get a divorce; or (3) get a boyfriend. But I felt any of these choices would just bring more misery. I thought, "There must be something else—another choice." But I sure didn't know what it was, and I really didn't want to make another wrong decision about my life. I didn't know it was God I was searching for.
