A Deep Dark Cry in Christ: Part Ii: Weeping Endure for a Night, but Joy Cometh in the Morning

By Felisha Augusta

This is a continuing story of Ann going through the valley of her marriage. This is an everyday issue that many women and some men face. Ann showed the fight and strength that God has placed in her. It takes God to bring us through everyday life situations and challenges that we face as human beings.

I want to thank God again for this opportunity to share this story. More is coming, but in the meantime, be encouraged and wait. I say again, wait and watch the salvation of the Lord.

I want to thank all those that have supported me thus far. This is just the beginning of what God is getting ready to do in my life. I want to thank first my lord and savior, Jesus Christ. I want to say thank you to my father, Earl Augusta Sr., and again to my brother, Earl Augusta Jr., and my favorite sister-in-law, Damonica Augusta. A special thank you to Gloria Tucker (aunt), Searcy Augusta (grandmother), Rachel Cunningham, Ethel Lee Taylor, Shrie Webb (woman of God and my friend), and Bishop Phil Maggio. God bless you all!

Ann had decided to go stay with her mother for a while. Basically, she had it in her mind to start over again. Ann took both of her children with her. As the days start to go by, Ann starts to feel better in her spirit. With Will, she felt bound and like it was hard to breathe sometimes. Ann just really took one day at a time. About a few weeks later, it was time to take her summer vacation to one of her favorite places. She took her children to New York City. Ann and her children went by train. Ann was so excited and ready to enjoy herself and her children. When she arrived there, it was really good, but as the days went by, things started to go downhill. Ann was so disappointed. The children had fun, but some issues got in the way, and her grandmother passed on. Ann had to really pray her way through because of a lot of family drama. Ann knew she had to get back to Indiana to get her affairs in order, and when she got back that is exactly what she did. Ann got a job, began to continue her studies in psychology, and found an apartment at the same time. Ann did a lot of driving back and forth thirty miles to do what she had to do.

In the meantime, Ann would allow her son and daughter to stay with Will. At this point of time, Will was staying with another woman. It was hard to see that, but at the same time, Ann’s thoughts were to the point that she was moving on. She was waiting on the Lord to see how he was going to work everything out in his time. Will claimed that they were just friends, and she allowed him to come stay with her when he had no place to go. Now Will claimed he had all his ducks in a row, and that he could do better without Ann. Go figure. For Will to watch the children was a big help, but at the same time for the children to see Will’s living arrangements, it was not good. Far as the situation, Will worked with Ann. Ann was really shocked that they got along so far, and he did what she asked him to do. Ann asked herself, Why couldn’t he be this nice when we were together?

First Side Note:

It’s amazing of how people take other people for granted. Everyone is not blessed to have what you have. Your situation could be worse than the next person. Life is so short, if you have a family that is trying to love on you, and a wife or husband that is trying to take care of home and do something for themselves, then what is the problem that you can’t be on board. It is hard to love someone that not only don’t love themselves or God, but someone who hold their pride higher than you (Prov. 16:18 King James Version). Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

Be very careful how you portray yourself in front of your children. Your children are a reflection of you. What you do behind closed doors will surely find you out. That’s not only talking about sin, but also how you are raising your children. Children have two parents, and each parent has a responsibility toward those children. Now the reality of it all is that raising children can go one way or the other. Children will mimic what they see from either parent, or they will learn from your mistakes. We have to keep in mind, that one, we must give an account for these children, and two these are people that others will look at in society. We must ask ourselves what kind of adults do I want my children to be? Think about it.

On the flip side, Ann had to find her a church home. Ann went to this particular church that someone recommended to her that she felt was a match for her. Ann was really excited
