“It is such comfort to drop the tangles of life into God’s hands and leave them there.”
—Anonymous

I made a comment last night to my husband about a quote I have heard and used many times in my life – “you can walk as spotless as a white lamb and be shot for a black crow”.  My husband said, “I have never heard this”.  If you have never experienced this before you are blessed.  Gossip is cruel and damaging to one’s character.  

I know in my other life of disappointments and heartbreaks, my fake friends thought I was a white lamb, but when my life turned around, and crashed, I became meat for the fodder and I was a black crow.  I had one friend who stood up for me.  She said, “If you think she would approve and be part of her husband’s scam, you did not know her.  Well, I was not, because of what he did to others, I too was a victim of his. I am simple – I trusted people, especially my husband.  That was a grave mistake.  Anything he put in front of me telling me it was something it was not, I signed.  Needless to say, but I signed everything we had accumulated away.  I can remember saying to him on one of our investments. “How much did we make on it, and He said “Coppi I would never do anything to hurt you”, knowing he had cashed it in and either spent it gambling or using it for his Ponzi scheme.  I am an insecure person, so all my security was wrapped up in my husband words of deceit. What a mess I ended up in. Today I read a wise text image that said, “I asked Jesus why He was taking me through troubled waters.  He answered, “Because your enemies can’t swim.”  Yes, Jesus is my constant companion—-my insecurities, fears, longings, my heart I have given to Him; I can trust Him and His Word and His promises and the tangles of my life.
