Hi everyone...Hope all is well???<P>Hey I haven't long to be on here but I have huge request.<P>Nearly 2 weeks ago my husband put in for a transfer to another state. It is a slim to none chance that he'll get it. If he did it would be so wonderful. We would get to start new. He would finally be forever seperated from the OW. We could down size our house and payment which would be a huge stress reliever. It would just be a refreshing change.<P>Also there would no longer be the issue of his refussing to take me to places all over our beautiful state of Michigan because she was his recreational companion and he dotted the state in 18 months of activities with her. Activities he and I are doing now.<P>So please, please pray that God (be it his will) makes this transfer go through and soon. It is to Denver, Colorado and the job would be much easier than the job he is currently doing on the line at the factory for GM.<P>The other problems like daughter adjusting and family left here can be prayed for and dealt with when the time comes. <P>Thanks all. I will post and update soon on progress. There hasn't been tons but, yesterday was a really nice day. Not romantically but just real nice.<P>He is still in love with OW though feeling better about us he says. <P>I praying everyday and often more than that for you all. It will be so nice when none of us need to be here anymore and are here just to help others. Can't wait for that day.<P>Bye bye have a great week.<P>------------------<BR>God bless you and all of us.<P>Samantha<BR>

Wow! What a terrific opportunity. An open door with slim chances and God on your side FOR marriage. I will pray for your marriage, and pray that husband takes and gets this opportunity - and that he sees it as a bail out from God.<P>

TNT,<P>Thanks dear...really appreciate it. I think about it and get way too excited.<P>So how are things going for you?<P><P>------------------<BR>God bless you and all of us.<P>Samantha<BR>

Well - our marriage is getting better all the time. My step daughter came back from her visit with her mother in California last week, and we've been gone a lot - but this week we should start on those challenges.<P>The funeral was really sweetened, because we could celebrate their passing into heaven together. They died within 3 days of each other, and never had children - so their funeral in someways was like a spiritual wedding???? Make sense? Makes sense to me, but not hubby. He thought that was doubly hard to bury them both the same day.<P>Grandneice is coming home from hospital today, they put a catheter in her heart and a home health nurse will come by every 8 hours and administer the antibiotics into her heart. We are thanking God and praying for a full recovery and healthy baby.<P>My husband was the only nephew on his Aunt's side who inherited anything. He is to receive 1/2 of the entire estate. He is so thankful and touched, but the family is very jealous and hardened about it. They didn't have a lot, but what they gave meant much to them and to us.<P>Husband bought me flowers yesterday. He says he never wants us to go "outside of our marriage" - and is thanking God for our blessings.<P>I told him about the verse in Malachi where it says "if a husband is treating his wife right, his prayers can have ready answers" - actually I think it quotes it something like if he isn't treating wife right, his prayers won't have ready answers....<P>God is so good, and all of you on this forum are truly wonderful friends, and a blessing from God.<P>

TNT,<P>I am so happy, pleased and encouraged by your news. <P>Yes I understand the spiritual side of the funeral marriage thing. When we loose someone we love and they're Christians the sadness is for our loss of not seeing them until that day when we are all reunited again. As far as them transending into heaven that is way wonderful and such a great feeling.<P>I am sorry his family is hardened because of his inheritance. Money and things such as that can do such awful things to people. How nice that his Aunt and Uncle wanted him to have what they held precious here on earth.<P>Congradulations to you both.<P>You are a blessing and inspiration to me. God blessed us all here big time with you. You were much missed while you were on vacation.<P>Talk to you soon. Thanks for all you do. <P>------------------<BR>God bless you and all of us.<P>Samantha<BR><p>[This message has been edited by Samantha-MI (edited August 16, 1999).]

I'm in on the prayers...but if God says no to this it doesn't mean he is not listening. Maybe there is something even better tomorrow.<P>This does sound perfect, though!!!<P>Colorado is beautiful, too.<P>------------------<BR>Faith, Hope, Love Remain,<BR>but the greatest of these is Love.<BR>1 Corinthians 13:13

FHL,<P>Thank you so much for joining in the prayers. I do know that if it happens it will be the Lords will. I am just hoping and praying that it does happen. <P>I know Colorado is beautiful. I was there for a visit when I was 5 years old with my beloved Grandmother. I still remember much of it all these years later. Over 40. Geeze where did the time go?????? <P>We had a good day again today and he bought me a new mountain bike so that I have an easier time keeping up with him. <P>Recreational companionship is one of the areas where I was certainly failing with him. Well no more...now we bike, snow board and roller blade together. The funny thing is I really like those things now.<P>He said tonight at dinner that because the bike cost so much he would have to stay with me forever. It was a light hearted joke but I enjoyed the over all meaning of it.<P><P>------------------<BR>God bless you and all of us.<P>Samantha<BR>

Wow...sounds like things are slowly turning around. I failed on rec. com. too. I am also doing better and he is trying to be more affectionate and loving.<P>We Mountain Biked in Colorado last year. Me only on reasonable stuff.<P>You really sound better. In my prayers.<P>------------------<BR>Faith, Hope, Love Remain,<BR>but the greatest of these is Love.<BR>1 Corinthians 13:13

Dear FHL<P>Yeah the last two days have been pretty good. I am feeling more hopeful and very blessed.<P>Naturally often comes 1 step forward and two back so I am waiting for the other shoe to drop. <P>I am so grateful to the good Lord for giving me this opprotunity to mend things.<P>I would love to know more about your mountain biking trip in Colorado. Husband would like it too. Do you have any pics you could e-mail me? (Pushy lady aren't I?)<BR> <P>You are in my prayers too!<P>I'll let you know tomorrow night just how the first bike ride goes on the new bike. Yeah it is like a cadilac compared to my old bike. I am so excited. Can you tell?<P>------------------<BR>God bless you and all of us.<P>Samantha<BR>
