The tide turned around this time last year.

We were baptised together on Father's Day. We bought a new house (brand-spanking new) and moved in around Halloween. And, just about a week ago we had the 'he told me EVERYTHING' conversation.

In his own words: (to his old college girlfriend in an email...

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">My issue was self worth. After more focused Bible study, I found that part where Paul writes that women should be submissive to their husbands there is the "casual" omission of the rest of the verse which states the husbands should love their wives the way Christ loved the church! (do we NOT KNOW the depth of Christ's love for church?)
People SHOULD BE "skurd" o' marriage if they only intend to play house. After all I'd done, I couldn't just play house, but I only expected forgiveness from God.

I've always had the blessings . . . but I wasn't tryin' to see 'em.

Which brings me to address this part of your email: you'll understand if I don't choose to write back . . .

Ay yo, I was the one who chose termination, but like I said about the blessings . . . Being acquainted with you, D, O, & N was nothing short of miraculous to put it mildly. All that beauty and intelligence did not overwhelm me because I'd been searching for it my whole short life and God dropped it right into my lap. My wife possesses quite a combination of all y'alls characteristics so I couldn't (and didn't) let her go.BUT . . . AGAIN I wasn't tryin' to feel the way God blessed me. So . . . since LOCO was nearby I visited often. </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">yeah, he freely gives me all rights and priveleges to ALL his accounts now... we share EVERYTHING and I don't think I have EVER felt so close to him.

It seems nothing short of a miracle.

And, you? How are things in trueheart's world?

Things have never been better!! Moving in June, taking on new challenges, home business doing well, and like you, never felt closer. Communication and openness are the keys to a life spent sharing together, as opposed to "playing house". I have found my greatest gift in "giving" all the love, respect, and admiration I can to make someone elses life a better place. What I give, comes back to me 10 fold, as opposed to worrying about "what's in it for me?". I know what's in it for me....her happiness!! So glad after all your trials and tribulations that you guys put it back together!! I am so happy for you!!!

OMG!! It's been sooo long since I've seen you here.

Of course I don't post very often...but I do lurk.

It's great to hear how very well things are going for you.

I so wanted to thank you for your posts so long ago that helped.....both me and my H, but you kinda just vanished. So.....THANK YOU!

Going on 2 1/2 years into a great recovery and your posts helped my H so much.

Best wishes!

Heather
