I took two days away from the family to go attend a sporting event with my father. Got up at 6am Saturday and headed north.
On the ride up there, I lost my home radio stations and the "scan" landed on an Evangelical preacher doing a sermon of sorts. I only caught the last 10 minutes or so in which he was describing how pride can be a good thing and bad all together. Pride in a job well done is ok, but personal pride can be an undoing when you begin to think that in any given relationship that you have already made your efforts and become too proud of the fact that you are who you are and the other person should make the next concession. I thought this really applies to my current situation and that I should continue to try and woo the affections of my wife. I had been listening all of 10 minutes when the sermon ended and I lost the range of that station. I hit the scan button on the radio and the next song that popped up was Toby Keith's "I wish I didn't know now"

I had a deep feeling that I should take heed of the underlying messages

I haven't followed your thread...been away for awhile...but I believe in divine intervention.

On one of the biggest knock-down drag-out fights that my FWH and I had, I stormed out to the truck and as I began to drive away the JoDee Messina song "I'm Done" came on the radio. In listening to it, I realized that I didn't want to be "done." I turned around and went back home to work it out.

On another occassion...the turning point in my recovery...I was driving home and two songs came on back-to-back "Settlin" and then "Stand" - Settlin is about not being willing to settle for less than you need/want/deserve, and Stand is about how you can feel completely broken but you need to just get back up and stand. As "Stand" came on, I drove to the intersection of a local church. I was inclined to drive into the parking lot and pray (something I hadn't done much). When I went home that day, I had shifted into a recovery about making myself happy. My husband's shift came soon after that.

I don't have a thread here anymore for you to read (the OW found it and I deleted the whole thing), but I'm happy to share things with you as you move through your recovery. It's a crazy ride.

TJ for one minute Tx(and by the way, I too am a BIG believer in Divine Intervention. Sometimes the voice is still and small and sometimes He hits me with a 2x4).

Mogi, it is so good to hear from you on the forums. I was personally disappointed when you could not post anymore and your threads were gone. You are a HUGE inspiration to me. I am so glad things are going so well.

Back to the thread now, Thank you TX.

Blessings,

Thanks WH2LE.

I have written a little bit lately...testing the waters again with OW I guess. Things are going great with us. Do you have a thread of your own still?
