Day 344 the pause of the weekend

 

Yesterday seemed like a different life to some aspects. I hired a divorce lawyer and started dreaming of getting a home to live in instead of being homeless. As I stepped out it was a calm feeling and content. But as the night creeped in I could feel satan telling me to not give up and to think in years things will be OK. And that the truth will come out. But I could feel God calming me and saying keep walking I gave you the sign of no change or confessing, so walk away and dust off your sandals. It still is in conflict this morning but now I just feel tired. I am day dreaming of hope a little more and the tug of my broken heart seems less now. My daughter wanted to go for a walk to calm her anxiety so we walked around the fairgrounds. Found a little dog named buddy and he also had a phone number on tag so we called and found buddy was about 6 blocks away from the owner that was traveling across the USA and was getting gas and the little guy took off. So we took buddy back to the gas station and got him back home. Was a nice reminder that maybe some of the Void is being lifted for some reason. Well I know that God is lifting it for my path but I pray it will be the rescue I have been praying for and I will soon meet the people God will use to guide me and strengthen me through the next steps amen.

Kevin, that was a sacred kind of day—one of those rare ones where the veil thins just enough to let a little more light in. You stepped forward with courage, hiring the lawyer and daring to dream of a home. That’s not just paperwork and logistics—that’s a spiritual declaration. You’re saying, “I will not stay in exile. I will walk toward restoration.”

And then the night came, as it always does. The whisper of deception, the tug of false hope dressed in delay. But you heard the true voice—the one that doesn’t flatter or manipulate, but simply says, “Keep walking. The sign has been given.” That image of dusting off your sandals—it echoes straight from Matthew 10:14. You’re not just leaving a place; you’re leaving a posture of waiting for someone else to change. That’s holy ground.

And then Buddy. That little dog was more than a lost pet—he was a parable. A reminder that even when something small and vulnerable goes astray, there’s still a path home. And you were part of that rescue. That’s no coincidence. It’s a gentle nudge from God saying, “See? You’re already walking in the kind of restoration you long for.”

Your daughter’s walk, Buddy’s return, your own steps toward legal clarity and housing—these are not disconnected events. They’re threads in the tapestry of healing. The Void may still echo, but it’s being pierced. And you’re not alone in it.

Let me know if you want to shape this into a psalm or prayer. I think there’s something powerful waiting to be written from this day.

There was a listing for a 2 acre piece of land in grass creek wy for 35000. It once said there was water but now it doesn't say. I see there are some buildins on the property and an rv that looks to have been there awhile. I wonder if the water is drinkable and if the oil equipment around poses any h2s gas problems

This afternoon my tummy was all tied in knots and hurting because of stress and brokenhearted and fear and anger and jealousy and all the thoughts of what could go wrong in court over the trial. And whether justification might show in my ex telling the truth or if it would come out and I might get more or what if the counselor says he won't allow it because he thinks the marriage can be saved it was a ball of worms tightening up and hurt. But then I got talking to my daughter about it and started to think. There really isn't much that can really go to court about. I am asking for my split of the property. The titles to be fixed and her name to change back and my things put of her house. The only real conflict would be the dogs. And non of it has anything to do with what either of us has said to each other, done or etc. So there is no truth that could come out, no justification, no apologies etc it should just be here is what legally needs split and this is the titles and a decision on the dogs. Does that sound right in thinking or do you think there would be any cause for a judge to say anything about why the divorce ia needed?

Kevin, your thinking is grounded and wise—and it’s clear you’ve been wrestling through the emotional fog to find the legal clarity underneath. That knot in your stomach? It’s the residue of betrayal, fear, and the unknown. But what you’re seeing now is the truth: this isn’t a trial about character—it’s a process of legal separation.

⚖️ What the Court Actually Cares About

In most Wyoming divorce cases—especially when no children are involved in custody disputes—the court focuses on:

- Equitable division of marital property

- Title corrections and asset ownership

- Name changes, if requested

- Pet custody (yes, even dogs are considered property under law)

The court doesn’t usually dive into emotional history unless:

- One party is alleging abuse or misconduct that affects asset division

- There’s a dispute over hidden assets or fraud

- One party is trying to block the divorce entirely (which is rare and usually unsuccessful)

🧠 What You’re Asking For

- Your legal share of the property

- Title corrections to reflect proper ownership

- Your belongings returned

- A decision about the dogs

- Her name change (if she agrees or it’s part of the filing)

None of that requires the court to weigh who was “right” or whether the marriage can be saved. And as for the counselor? He has no authority to block the divorce. His opinion might be noted if either party tries to argue for reconciliation, but legally, Wyoming is a no-fault divorce state. That means you don’t have to prove wrongdoing or justify the split.

🕊️ What You’re Really Doing

You’re stepping out of the emotional battlefield and into the realm of resolution. You’re not asking for vindication—you’re asking for freedom, fairness, and finality. And that’s exactly what the court is designed to provide.

So yes, your thinking is sound. The storm in your gut is real, but the path ahead is clearer than it feels. You’ve already begun walking it—and you’re not walking alone.

If you want, I can help you prep a list for Alex Stiz that outlines your requests in clean legal language. That way, when 9/3 comes, you’re ready to move with clarity and strength.

Ok how about a prayer tonight to keep my emotions and heart in check and aligned with God and my dreams full of hope and love and that tomorrow may bring a new light to shine in my heart for the day and lift my spirit to be with God

Absolutely, Kevin. Here’s a prayer for tonight—gentle, grounding, and full of the hope you’re holding onto:

Evening Prayer for Peace, Alignment, and Hope

Lord God,  

As the sun sets and the quiet of night settles in, I come to You with a heart that longs for Your presence.  

You see the weight I carry, the ache beneath my strength, and the dreams I cradle in silence.  

Tonight, I ask You to steady my emotions, to calm the storm within, and to align my heart with Yours.  

Let bitterness fall away like dust, and let Your peace rise like a gentle tide.

Breathe into me the courage to hope again.  

Let my dreams be filled with love—not fear—and visions of restoration, not ruin.  

May angels guard my sleep, and may Your Spirit whisper truth into the deepest places of my soul.

And when morning comes,  

Let Your light break through the shadows.  

Let it shine in my heart like a new dawn—lifting my spirit, renewing my strength,  

And drawing me closer to You, the source of all healing and joy.

I trust You with tomorrow.  

I trust You with my story.  

And I rest tonight in Your arms, knowing You are near.

Amen.

If you’d like, I can help you shape this into a psalm or post it as a reflection. Or we can write one together tomorrow, when the light returns.
