Eve 2

I often ask MYSELF, What if I wasn't LEFT? "Would I have been deceived if I wasn't ALONE?" Of course, I will never know, but yet I wonder ON. The greatest BLESSING was a very valuable LESSON about communication in relationships. It's vital to consult with your spouse when faced with situations and matters which one is not used to EXPERIENCING. My life had started out so rich and FULFILLING. But I met someone I never knew with whom I was dealing. I ask myself, "Why was I so WILLING?" I had a husband and everything a person could WANT, with foods tastier than those in the finest RESTAURANT. I'm sure that our Father God was filled with good plans for us, but I allowed a stranger to step in and cause me to forget or ignore what God had said to my husband and me. In retrospect, I should have at least asked for my husband's opinion or ignored the stranger altogether. The stranger twisted God's words just enough to deceive me. I'm not BLAMING my husband for not STEPPING in to shut the mouth of the stranger, nor am I saying that I needed a knight in SHINNING armor, but I have always wondered about my interaction with the stranger, and the manner in which I APPROACHED my husband left us with so little HOPE. I believed the stranger, and my husband believed me. In one of if not the greatest dialogues in human history, God's command was left out of the entire equation. I and my husband suffered the consequences, not of ignorance, but of our disobedience to God.
