Thanks faithy. I can't tell you how much your continued support means to me. My H and I have taken great strides this past week. We have incorperated the POJA into our marriage more. We really hadn't been before. It has helped I think.

I am trying to be at peace about the OC custody issue. I do have faith that it will work out, I am just lacking in faith as to when it will. It just feels like this is the one loose end that needs tied up before we can return to normal life. I just want this settled so we can say no more guessing...this is how it is. Too much to hope for right now I guess.

I am sitting here listening to Josh Groben with a glass of tea and trying to lull myself into some form of emotional tranquility. It is coming easier these days.

Thank you so much again for your support. Sometimes it feels so lonely.

I know exactly what you mean about it feeling "lonely". Most of us do not have friends IRL that can relate to our sitch. Let it go and let God do His thing in His time. I know that is difficult, I don't like "loose ends" either but I have a feeling He knows better than we do. ((GC)) Have a wonderful weekend!

Sometimes it is just so hard to relinquish control to him. Sometimes I feel like God just isn't taking care of my needs fast enough. Money continues to be a very big problem and this just adds to the emotional termoil. I will do my best to simply have faith.

My parents are taking my kids for the weekend so my H and I will have the weekend to ourselves. It will be nice to have a break. Hope you have a good weekend also.

Prayer request - I learned thru the grape vine that xOW is now in her third adulterous relationship. First one was with my H's cousin, then my H, and now her best friends brother. Please be in prayer for his wife and their two young children. It is unbelievable to me how anyone can deliberately cause so much pain. There has to be a special level of h!ll for these serial adulterors who refuse to repent. I can't imagine God's plan in all of this. Just please be in prayer for the family. I know his wife and this is tearing her apart.

May the love hidden deep inside your heart find the love waiting in your dreams. May the laughter that you find in your tomorrow wipe away the pain you find in your yesterdays.
