I pray peace on you, and a burning conviction of guilt upon him.

Lord, we come before you now to humbly ask for patience and peace for ivorySA. We ask you to cover her and her H in the blood of Jesus, and keep the devil and his sin away from the conversation. We ask all these things in your precious son Jesus' name,<P>Amen

I'm praying for you, Ivory. You did good, Hon. I think if I saw OW and my H together I would get physically sick.<P>Gosh, the OW smiled big. Don't OW have a conscience? I mean, why do they have to be so damn mean about it. <P>Jo<P><p>[This message has been edited by Resilient (edited August 31, 2001).]

Hallo all you lovely people<P>Thank you so very much for all your prayers and all your thoughts. Without them things wouldn't have gone so good.<P>He wrote a few things down: among others, H said Thursday was a wake-up call for him, he was sorry, he didn't want to loose me and he wants to make our marriage happier than ever! This weekend was just amazing! We spent almost every second together and he treated me all the way. He hugged me, kissed me and where we went, we held hands. It was just so great! I can't thank my Heavenly Father enough!! H even went to church with me Sunday night!!<P>We didn't really talk much about the important stuff though. Sunday afternoon when I wanted to talk, H didn't. But that's ok for now. For me this weekend was just important to show him we can have a great time together, and did we ever!!<P>Today I sent him a letter to say we need to talk this thing through so that we can get on with our lives. I pray that the Heavenly Father will open H up to me so that we can talk about these things. H is a big avoider. <P>Thank you all again for all your prayers. I know that they have great power.<P>May the Good Lord be with all of you as well. Mey He turn all your sorrows into joy. He gives so much more than what we ask for. We must just be patient and let Him do His work.<P>Love <BR>ivory
