I mean it Snuggles and you are welcome. I wouldn't have gotten through if it weren't for her and people patience and caring. It's my lifeline at times.

During the holidays I remember when TMTS stayeed with me almost the whole night. And if I hadn't promised Mimi I wouldn't hurt myself, I would still consider it an option.

The fact that they live together is actually much better for the affair ending. If they only see each other from time to time, they never really get a taste of reality. The longest affairs are the ones where they DON'T get together. Just keep in mind that affairs almost always end. The chances of them staying together are very slim.
Your commitment to this is what keeps giving me hope. Because it seems that the longer they live in reality, the more settled in they become. Or is it just the opposite, they are fighting for it to not end and trying everything?

I really just want some peace in my heart, not rewards. I am just serving him as best as I can and always when I can.

He has been very gracious, patient and understanding with me. He could have given up on me, but he hasn't. I love my G-d and truly just want to please him. I just don't always know how.

Queenie the way to please him is to be the best person you can be. He knows you may faulter at times but that is why you ask for forgiveness and he will grant it.

You are doing great just keep praying and what will be will be.

What an honor to be used by G-d. I hope for more of this and bring comfort to those who are struggling.

We are all in this together. thank you for sharing that with me. It's G-d way of letting me know that I am listening to him and making those changes to be of service.

"Listen to God and the changes He wants you to make in your life"...by Queenie

Thank you Queenie...

I also said somthing in SS's thread about that...Here it is...


I thought about that quote a lot too... I don't know why but I feel like God has a plan for me and my family But I havn't been going to church... Resisting maybe? I've never been a very religious man or had a lot of faith. But since all this affair crap has been going on I've been much more willing to accept??? More receptive maybe??? Does that make sense?

Snuggles where are you from originally?

Amazin.... This journey we are on, nothing makes sense and everything makes sense where G-d is concerned. He has plans for us if we are like ARK and be still. We have to listen and truly hear what G-d is telling us. I think I listen, but am I really hearing what his truth is for me.

Something that I continue to work on minute by minute even seconds some time.

Are you familiar with the 23 Psalm?

Amazin, There is a book that I recommend. It really helped me out in my darkest days of trying to make sense of what was happening. I am still nowhere completely towards that, but this book brought me so much comfort.

It's called G-d is More Than Enough by Tony Evans. It walks you through this psalm line by line.

It will help you to grasp what could be happening and come to embrace G-d and know how much he loves you and wants you to look to him for dependence in all things.
