Statute of Limitation?

D-I-V-O-R-C-E

Was it Loretta Lynn or Lynn Anderson who sang that song oh those years ago ... I think it was one of those "Lynn" something. What a concept at that time, divorce. Sadly, it is more common nowadays ... for whatever reason. I am not here to argue the merits, good or bad of divorce. For me it was a good thing...allowing me to grow. My point today is ... should there be a statute of limitation on being classified as divorced? whenever I fill out a form and an option is "divorced" I think, geez that was over 10 years ago, am I still considered 'divorced' ... having yet to remarry shouldn't I be "single" now? I think 10 years is long enough for a status change. Lord knows, and I give thanks, that I am not the woman from 10 years ago.

I guess this all comes down to my dislike for labels to begin with, especially when society creates, classifies them based on some screwball standard. We are what we speak ... guard your tongue:
Job 27:4 "my lips will not speak wickedness, and my tongue will utter no deceit."

So I don't feel "divorced" ... from what? from who? life, my ex ... I'm a new creature, a new woman, in Christ. As a bride of Christ, renewed in Him aren't I technically "married"? either that or I'm living in sin with Christ and we know that ain't it. Divorced, schimorced, whatever ... forget about society classifications. In this world but not of this world. I am what I am ... for now, that means I'm single, enjoying drawing closer to God, smiling, laughing, loving, living every moment ... running to my destiny.

“[God Disciplines His Sons] Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.”- Hebrews 12:1

BTW: I think, I know for me that is a 5K and NOT a marathon
