kim kardashian's sad divorce

Today is a very sad day.



After 72 days, Kim Kardashian has filed for divorce from Kris Humphries. My friend texted me, and it's all over the internet. This is her second marriage.

Y'all I am so sad that I really want to cry, and I actually did.

In a lot of way's, I can't relate to Kim Kardashian.
I can't relate to balancing like 12 different jobs:
 *perfume's
 *a clothing line (I'm wearing my lace leopard KK number today...love)
 *books,
 *tv show's
 *weight loss stuff

And...

Her extravagant lifestyle.
Her 10 million dollar wedding.
Her beautiful home.
Her amazing shoes, clothes, make-up (I'd KILL for her lash's)
That perfect hair.

GAH!

It looks like she's got it all...

And in some way's...I can relate. After all, she's human. She's not exempt from hurt.

I'm so broken to see how disposal the covenant of marriage has become today. It literally rips my heart out. A promise is no longer a promise. A vow is no longer a vow. For better or worse...do we only promise better? Sickness and health...do you truly mean that? Life begins to chip away at you until you decide to "throw in the towel." Look out for me! Your not happy...leave!
Marriage is tough, and it takes daily work, and dying of yourself. It takes love, and respect...and those two don't always go hand in hand. It's not a fairy tail, and life isn't always shiny, and pretty after, "I Do." Hello? You married people feel me? "Love is not a place to come and go as we please. It's a house we enter in, and commit not to leave." Oh how I love me some Warren Barfield :)

Precious friends, please hear me...yes, there are grounds for divorce: abuse, and habitual unfaithfulness are not to be overlooked. Get out! I have friends in my life that are going through this terrible time right now, so I am choosing my words carefully.

Married friends, I'm begging you, fight for, and believe your marriages...DON'T give up! Your mate will disappoint you, and they will let you down, but that's no reason to leave, even though we all want to sometimes. One of my favorite songs is "God Gave Me You" by Dave Barnes

God gave me you for the ups and downs

God gave me you for the days of doubt
And for when I think I lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it’s true
God gave me you

On my own I’m only
Half of what I could be
I can’t do without you
We are stitched together
And what love has tethered
I can never undo

Love is not a fight, but's it's something worth fighting for.
I love y'all,
K

  1. Love you sweet friend!, You heart, your dependance on the Lord, your unconditional love for your Nick, your willingness to fight for your marriage, and the way you praise the Lord and encourage others going through what you have already walked through. You are a priceless blessing in my life.
