“I DID NOTHING WRONG!”

Divorce I declare on November 25th of this year.
“If you stay I will comply!” you said.
Will my age be 95 when this I see and hear?
“I did nothing wrong!” I get all this junk from your head.
Reasonable I planned to be.
Setting some words in pencil.
Even when inside I hadn’t a “Yippee.”
Glad these words were not set in stencil.
One day a week exercise with an Fitness Instructor.
Find a church and attend.
Two times a month on Sundays I direct.
Wednesday I penned.
Date night,
Family night, time,
Couples therapy I write.
Family counseling I chime.
Tanner, a prime consideration.
We each have our own page.
While we need to tune to the same station.
Seems to me I parent around your rages.
Judge me plenty in this marriage.
If you are a Christian and fill in plenty of blanks.
Can we find a carriage,
To carry us where God ranks and we give thanks?
Whose is this baby?
Was your reply to my telling you of my pregnancy.
What does that imply to me maybe?
Great way to start the gestation.
Your way or the highway,
Has been how it seems
Our marriage a flyby,
My behavior says to you. Blowing to smithereens.
I am not lily white.
Marriage takes two.
Perfection is a quest that people must hold.  Allright I did bite.
After a bit, I bet we both blew.
Attention you want.
Tis not Tanner you are for him to prosper.
Only wanting to flaunt.
Called it Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy and like a cosper.
No to church choir.
Hated my enrolling in swimming, karate and many other sports.
Attention you said I wished to acquire.
Forbid me to run for PTA President, threatening me for some reason you’d report.
The house was always yours in title.
Shuffling aside the promise to buy a new house once married.
I didn’t do this or that which was vital.
How I felt as if I’d been buried.
When will you be home?
You were late.
Where is my tomb?
Was I mistake but your love appeared as if hate.
Plenty on our plate, for sure,
We must do,
In finding a cure,
After saying “I do!”
Already, you have stated the fitness instructor you aren’t ready for.
I, in good faith, agreed to remain for three months and try.
Let us remember it isn’t war.
Hope and faith should keep us from cries and saying bye.
Your barter was to walk the dog,
With me two or three times a week,
For 15 minutes to 30 minutes, A fog
Was not your state of mind or your critique.
One day you proclaim,
If it is going to be like this,
We won’t be part of the marriage game.
I pray we can find bliss.
You think I keep bringing up the past,
Nagging without forgiving.
However, there is a contrast.
Purposely, getting at anger thrown out isn’t how I will be living.
I asked you to write down your wants and desires.
Of all things I haven’t forgotten God first is a must.
We must put out many fires while relighting a major fire.
A wind gust of marriage thrust is needed that we trust.
Remember, telling me I couldn’t take Tanner
By himself on a vacation.
One big banner,
Is that I can do this type of migration.
Our marriage has lots of problems.
I promise to convey,
My love and earnest,
Struggle to succeed.
God states anything is possible
Through Christ.
Thinking we agree on most of the doctrinal,
Principles from the bible, we must pay the price.
Forgetting and forgiving,
Yes, I concur,
Without misgivings.
If you and I finally understand each other without it being a blur.
God, with faith,
We pray and ask,
To hear what you saith.
Vowing to endure any task.

E is Effort; blogging the alaphabet.

Miriam-Webster defentions of effort @ http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/effort
       1.   ":  conscious exertion of power :  hard work <a job requiring time and effort>"                                                                                                      2.   ":  a serious attempt :  try <making an effort to reduce costs>"                                                                                                                              3.   ":  something produced by exertion or trying <the novel was her most ambitious effort>"                                                                                  4.   ":  effective force as distinguished from the possible resistance called into action by such a force"                                                                    5.   ":  the total work done to achieve a particular end <the wareffort>"
What I found the Bible to say about effort.  I am sure there is more but this post will look at these verses using the KJV.
       Col 3: 23And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;                                                                                                 Eccl 9:10Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in        the grave, whither thou goest.                                                                                                                                                                                       I Cor 10:13There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be            tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.                         Rom 14:19Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.                         II Tim 3:16All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in            righteousness:
II Tim 3:16 says all scritpure is good for many things; lasty "for instruction in rigtteousnes."  Rom 14: 19 says for us to make peace and edify one another.  The other scriptures talk about doing anything with "might" and "heartily" as we would to the Lord.  I do not think when is says and not to men it means to do less towards men but to do things always as if we are doing them towards or for God and not less as if men are less.  Simply put we are to treat all like we would God in any effort. As God says to the least you do you do the greates as to me. That is a simple paraphrase.
Now put this with the definition of effort.  I say we should not simply try but try with the instructiion God gives us; with all our might.  The results are wonderful when we follow his words.  My stats go high sky when I do as he says and write in a manner of his tone.  
I am trying do his work. I am human and vanity gets in my way.  Writing the alaphabet is helping me remember why I am writing.  Effort by definition may only require a try but God requires our best.  Why not do our best anyway?  If we do and believe in God he will take it to the top.
