Hi louser, I wish I had the answer for you, and me and everybody else feeling this way I hate being in limbo its starting to really get to me, don't have much advice except take one day at a time, or one hr. at a time. The only other name for this roller coaster ride is something someone on these forums called it Limbo-land. Hang in there Love Sally

There are times when victory seems slow in coming. But don't give up. There is a force that works with faith to see you through to the prize. It's the force of patience.<P>Patience is no consolation prize. And it hasn't been given to you to help you suffer gracefully. It is a powerful force that will help you remain constant, trusting in and relying confidently on the Word of God.<P>Turning loose the force of patience in your life keeps open the door for faith to work. Your faithfulness to "let patience have her perfect work" in you, is making you "perfect and entire, wanting (lacking) nothing" (James 1:4). Patience is making a winner out of you.<P>But remember: Patience won't work by itself. You must put it to work for you. Patience is being constantly the same whatever happens. When the devil comes against you with trying circumstances, let the force of patience cause you to stand. Let patience remind you that your faith is in what God has said, not what is happening around you. Once faith has opened the door, let patience keep it open until your promise is fulfilled.

Well? Dear Louser, exactly when did you find out that you were married to the Devil?<P>It's a tough question. Only you can answer. I think we ride the emotional rollercoaster as long as we want to. When we can't take it any longer, then we get off. You can get off of it and still stay married, if you want to, OR you can get off of it and get divorced, but that is up to you.
