Thank you so much for the rejoice ministrys' web address. I have been running on hope from God that my marriage would be restored but it looks like I may have to go through the rain storm to see the rainbow. I have decided that "I will make a stand"!!!I vowed before God that I would take my wife forever. What she does with her promises is up to her.I know that my God is a miracle worker. If anyone has some encouraging words or simular situations I would Love to hear them.God bless!!

When my H first left me, I was so confused, and I searched around for answers on line. The first place I found was a Divorce Recovery-type board. LOTS of negative stuff. Even tho I was majorly devasted, hurt by his actions, I did not want to be sucked into that negativity. I kinda knew instinctively that those boards were NOT the place for me.

Then someone on the "Divorce Recovery" (what IS that, anyway??? "Divorce Recovery") <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> anyway, someone on the Divorce Recovery board posted this addy, so I came over here.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!! THERE WAS HOPE!!! MY M COULD BE SAVED!!! I felt a sense of "relief" - and hope, and help and encouragement then. After about a week, someone on this board posted the RejoiceMinistries addy. THAT gave me a glimpse into exactly what God expected of ME. At that point, my whole focus changed, from "Divorce Recovery" to "Stand for My Marriage."

Since this all happened to me within 2 weeks of him leaving, I truly believe God "led me" to what I was supposed to do in the meantime, while all this went on. I also learned I had to begin to pray for my H. I learned we were both far away from God, and He had allowed this "trial" into our lives to bring us both back to Him (alone or together, I don't know, but it's HIS Plan, and now I know that either way, it's OK!).

Well, Adam, thanks for the update, and I'm glad to see you're doing OK.

God Bless,
