<BR>To those dear ones who responded to my old post "Betrayers, help me understand his frame of mind about the OW', please read my recent post "A Story of Forgiving".<P>I hope that it uplifts and encourages you all. Thanks for your part in helping me understand and forgive my h.<P>These days, if I do post, it is as POGP, Pearl of Great Price, and I don't spend nearly as much time here as before. Happily, it is time to concentrate on life AFTER infidelity, and that means thinking about it less and less each day!<P>The Women's Bible Study forum is up and running, anyone can join us.<P>Blessings,<P>Liz/POGP<P>------------------<BR>When you go through deep waters and great trouble, I will be with you. Isaiah 43:2<P><BR>

Where's the forum, Liz?<P>I will check in again when I get to work... let me know... I can't hang out there, but can visit!!<P>~Sheryl<P><P>------------------<BR>Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss it you are among the stars!!

Sheryl, Down at the bottom of the page where it says Hop To _________ click there and then scroll down past ideas and articles, you'll see 'study group', Women's Bible Study - which is sort of a misnomer since it is a book study right now, but there is lots of scripture and prayer in the book, so this name is o.k. That way when we finish Power of a Praying Wife we could always keep going with another study.<P>Gotta shampoo my carpets, ugh! Have a good one,<P>Liz/Pearl<P>------------------<BR><BR>"I have found the Pearl of Great Price"<BR>

Liz-Pearl - See my response to your "forgiveness" thread! R & B,<P>--Wex

Hi, LizPearl!<P>I haven't been around too much lately either, but happened to spot this thread. What a nice surprise! I feel happy, and honored, to have had anything to do with where you are going now. And you can truly take 99.9% of the credit - you know the old saying "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink" - and we all know a few horses around here that won't drink!<P>So the best of luck to you & H - you deserve it. Hope you'll pop back in now & again to share what you've learned with others here. For me it's kind of a "coming full circle" thing, to try to help out here as a way of repaying all the help & good fortune *we've* received over the years. <P>------------------<BR>~suse~<BR>Rome wasn't built in a day.<BR>

LizPearl,<P>Hi dear! Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I am going there right now to read. <P>Boy oh boy it has been just 9 months and I wish I could think about it less. Congradulations there girl friend.<P>See you soon. <P>------------------<BR>God bless you and all of us.<P>Samantha<BR>

Up for trying hard and sidney to find, I hope!<BR>Pearl/Liz<P>------------------<BR><BR>"I have found the Pearl of Great Price"<BR>

Liz/pogp - i am very happy that you have found it in your heart to forgive your h it is the true step toward making a recovery possible--you can now build upon that and begin to restore trust--keep in mind the task ahead is still large however you have taken such a giant step...for me things are not going so well not on my part i feel so much better having the understanding of my actions, and am prepared to move forward with my life in many respects...however my w is angry and hurt and in constant pain and is having a very rough time moving past those feelings of how i betrayed and deceived her and how the future (ow is due in jan) might affect a life with me...i am so remorseful and am willing to do anything for her, with her, to try to help her overcome or move past the anger and pain, but she won't allow me in and i know the only way it can ever work is if she wants to try to rebuild it takes two and she has to want to...right now i don't feel she does and i am starting to wonder if she ever will find a way that she can deal with her feelings...i suggested joint counseling as a way to try to reconnect if only to open a forum for discussion of her feelings to help her and she is afraid that it will be just another voice telling her what to do...the only thing i can do is try to keep supporting her giving her some more time and hope she can come to terms with this even if it is to tell me she wants to go through with the divorce...i love her so much to see her in such a place of indecision is painful moreso because i know i put her there...anyway i could go on but i'll end it here maybe i'll make a post soon with all this in it...i am happy for you that you reached this point...i can only hope my w does someday before we lose each other completely...hopefully your recovery will be smoother from here on...much peace and love...trying hard<BR>
