Hello all,<P>I know its been a few months since I've updated you all. But for those of you that remember me, I just wantedto let you all know that I am doing okay and that all of you here are in my prayers. I miss and love all of you.<P>Well my H has gone to his new duty station in Fl. I'm still in NC with my daughter and I'm currently 6 moths pregnant with a baby boy due in Nov. It's been tough with the emotional ups and downs. My h has stated that he will not file for divorce, but only for financial reasons. I am not happy with this, but I'm really not emoytionally capable of filing myself right now. So in the mean time I am trying to let God be God and just live for me, my daughter, and my soon to be. I'm on light duty at workright now, so I can typemuch. Write back sooon <P>------------------<BR><B>Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change...Courage to change the things I can...And the wisdom to know the difference.</B><P>lady_divine77@yahoo.com

Hi jamie-lee...<P>It is good to hear you are alive and well. I really wish your H was in a different frame of mind, but YOU sound strong & good, and that's the important point. <P>I know whatever happens, your new son will be a blessing!<P>Hugs--<P>Kathi<P>

I'm sorry that things are not going as well as you would like but you sound like you're handling it fairly well. I hope you have a good support system around you and a church family too.<P>There have been times when my children were the only reason I could face each new day. Though I would have spared them what I, and they, have been through, I know they were sent to me as blessings from God. He has never rescued me from my situation but He has given me strength to ask for help from others or to find a path through whatever darkness I encountered.<P>Enjoy your children. They truly grow up too fast. Each night when I tuck mine in I remind them that I love them:<BR> as high as the sky<BR> as deep as the sea<BR> as wide as the whole world<BR> as long as forever<BR> as true as can be<P>And the only persons who love them more are God and Jesus.<P><BR>

Kathi,<P>It's nice to hear from you. I've been up anddown in emotions, but I think I'm doing well overall. <P>Cinderella,<P>I haven'tposted here in a while and unfortunately I don'tknow your story but you will definitely be added tomy prayers. Thank youforyour encouragement and sorry you have to be here.<P>To Everyone:<BR>My home PC is getting fixed. i shouldbe able to keep in touch with everyone much better once it is fixed, but for now I can only check messages from work. <P>Once again, I miss all of you. And thankyou for the continuous emails and support!!<P>------------------<BR><B>Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change...Courage to change the things I can...And the wisdom to know the difference.</B><P>lady_divine77@yahoo.com

Hi Sweetie!<P>I don't post or reply that much anymore (mostly a lurker now), but I couldn't pass up replying to your Post.<P>I thought about you and wondered how things are going. I'm so sorry to hear that your H has relocated to another state and that he still hasn't woken up yet. I just don't understand his reluctance to work on the marriage.<P>You are a very strong person to be surviving this. I don't know what more to say except to enjoy your daughter and your pregnancy. Your baby boy will be such a joy. I just know it.<P>Stay strong and keep us updated. You haven't been forgotten and I will keep you in my prayers.

You're right, I don't see it yet , but I do trust Him!!<P>Sheryl,<BR>I too think of you often. You remain in my prayers, my heart, and my thoughts. I really hope you are doing okay. I know you closed your old email account, but mine is still the same. Drop me a line sometime to let me how you are doing. STAY ENCOURAGED!!<P>Mitzi,<BR>What a nice surpise to hear from you as well. I do hope you are doing okay. I have to get caught up with what going on with you and everyone since I've been gone. But you have also been in my prayers during my absence.
