Elin Woods Means Business


This topic of discussion has been the elephant in the room for months since Tiger's dirty indiscretions where layed out for all of the world to judge. I like to consider my self a person of non-judgement and more so opinionated, so I of course will share my opinions on this sad dissolution of marriage.

I have prayed for this family since news first broke of the drama. I really hoped that maybe Elin would be able to forgive Tiger, demand individual and family counseling, and come out of this situation stronger than they where before they jumped the broom. I know you are thinking I'm crazy, but you never know. I'm not trying to fool anyone into thinking that I would follow my own advise, but it would have feel good to receive such sound advise no matter my decision. What I do know is that if I where in her shoes and I allowed God to take hold of it all and guide us, I have no doubt that it would have worked out for the best. I'm just not there, and obviously Elin isn't either.

Elin is not taking this dissolution lightly and is taking Tiger to the cleaners. Reports state that Elin is demanding $750 million from the divorce settlement, full custody of their two children, and refuses to sign a confidentiality clause that will prevent her from writing a book or doing any interviews about their relationship. I don't see any good coming from all this for either one of them and especially for the kids. I pray that this doesn't get any nastier than what it already is and everything can end civil on a civil.

Love and Marriage


Being in Love is an overwhelming feeling that no human being can do with out. Love comforts, consoles, and can even tear you apart. Marriage is a union of man and woman offering up their dedication to be true to each other in the eyes of our Lord. These two words together can build individuals and families and when done properly can change the world around you. I am an unmarried Christian and in the process of building my home through Christ with marriage in my future. It is not an easy process, but then again He didn't say that it would be.
As a contemporary christian, I do cohabitate with my significant other. Everyday I feel guilt for expecting God to bless us with a happy home. I've clearly committed sins in the act of fornication before marriage, now being the mother of two beautiful angels. With many more sinful acts under my belt, no one is greater than the other and all can be forgiven.
My struggle now is having assurance before jumping the broom that this is the path He has set for me. I pray all day while typing, cleaning, working, and when tending to the needs of my family. Through my prayers and constant search of the word it is there that I have come to realize that there is no assurrance that can be given in any other way besides through my faith in faith. I have faith that He will provide for my family by any means neccessary and that he has proved. I have faith that he has more in store for than what my wildest dreams could imagine. I just couldnt imagine, with so much presently against us, how things would be better after marriage.
Search for a deeper relationship with God, brings about daily knowledge and strength that only He will allow you to recieve. In my search, I learned that a successfull relationship does not soley rest on the ability to get along, but begins with a shared bond in Christ. This bond brings two single souls to one common ground of understanding that without Christ it just wont work. All mole hills can and will appear as mountains before you, too hard to climb over. Strength and belief that no matter the issue together with Christ, communication is second nature, understanding is common practice and love conquers all. It is a much enduring process but with much prayer and persaverance each day feels better than the day before because you have come one step closer to what He has planned.
