Hello everyone,<P><BR> Please pray for me.I work 12 hour shifts,I am raising 2 teenage boys by myself,and I am about to return to college to finish my degree in obedience to husband.(Return to college this week)<BR> The wall of hate is down between myself and H,altho he only talks business to me,household finances.<BR> I have asked God for a sign that all is not well in paradise,but so far God has not answered.<BR> Please pray for younger son, as each week he is exposed to husbands sinful situation.<BR> Will be missing H also ,as the only way we communicate is thru the computer,and I will be so busy ,i will not have time.Thanks for your prayers, beth<BR>

Beth -<BR>You will be in my prayers this week. May God give you peace.

Dear Alone,<BR>I am baffled by the amount of responsibility you have had placed upon you. You are truly in need of sincere prayer. Please understand, though, I do not believe that God gives signs. God gives us faith, because we have that, we do not need signs. I also believe that just because we have faith in something, doesn't necessarily mean it will happen. If it is not God's will, then a prayer will not be answered how we think it should. I do believe that God does not ever want a marriage / family to fail. Just because you haven't seen a sign does not mean that God has not answered you. Stop and be still for just a minute. Listen to God's voice to guide you. Until you find your answer, I will be praying for you and your family. Hoping that you feel peace in your heart....God bless....

Gatorgirl,<P><BR> Thank you so much for your prayers, and wishes for peace.<P>BOTW,<BR> <P> I am baffled by my resonsibilities too!!! I dropped out of school after discovering extent of H's internet affair.H was a great help to me while I was in school,now he is living with OW.He has asked me to continue school,but seems to have no compassion for hard it will be.I have been thru a major crisis in my life with his affair,and on top of that he is pursueing a divorce!<BR> Thanks for yuor prayers for my family,I hope I can find peace too.<P> Love and Prayers,beth

Beth,<BR>I have been praying for you & your family, and of course will continue. Take care of yourself & try not to spread yourself too thin (we aren't wonder women, like we think!! )<BR>Love, <BR>Petrie<p>[This message has been edited by REJECTED (edited March 05, 2001).]

Petrie,<P> Thanks for your prayers,I continue to pray for you.Hang in there Petrie,no matter how bad it looks!<P> Love ,beth

Hi Alone,<P>Please keep faith and be strong. I am praying for you and your family. Again, we are not wonder women. I pray that you and your husband can reconcile. For your sons so that they may have Jesus in their life so they can not fall when faced with all of the sins and temptations that our out there for them to be subjected to. I have a son that needs prayer also. He's 18. Have faith. Jesus truly answers prayers. <P>Beth (my name is also beth)

KF99,<BR> <BR> I will say a prayer for your 18 year old.Mine are 15 and 17.15 year old is not religious,and becomes angry when I mention anything to do with being a Christian.<BR> Thanks for your prayers,<BR> Love and Prayers,beth

Alone1,<P>Praise God for your faith. You will overcome and your faith is the key. Keep praying for those signs. I KNOW God gives us signs. I didn't believe this before but thanks to our Father in Heaven I now know the truth. Praise Him!!I believe you are believeing God for what I am. Stand firm<BR>and don't look to the left or right just look up. I pray for similiar signs and God is faithful and shows me He is moving on my behalf. I have found that sometimes He gives me a sign and I didn't even realize for a few days or so that it was my sign. It is like it is so sweet and gentle that it takes a little to sink in and then at other times I see the signs right away. It is a journey and sometimes we have a hard time getting the message sometimes we just need encouragement. Keep believeing!<BR>In Him,<BR>gentle

Gentle,<P> So good to hear from you!!!!!I posted to you once,but I never saw a response.I loved to read what you had posted to other people.<P> Yes Gentle,I am trying to stand.It is very difficult,all sorts of doubts come into my head,and I find myself wondering if OW makes him happier.<BR> I have just found God recently,I am trying to rely on him as much as I can.<BR> Please dont stop posting,God Bless you Gentle,<P> Beth

Beth,<P>My computer went down two days before Christmas.I had a warrenty and it took them several tries to fix it and I'm not sure if it is fixed yet. Anyway, I will continue to post<BR>as long as I find hurting people who are looking for hope.<BR>I try and let God led me. I posted a few times based on emotions and I didn't like the outcome. Let's say I got discouraged. I then realized it was the evil one who was<BR>discourageing me so now I try and let God take over. I try to let Him take over everything but I know, as I am sure you do, that considering the world we live in this is a hard task. I will not give up or in no matter what! But I do have to admit that there are times it crosses my mine.God is faithful and is always there to pick me up after I have my little pity party. I am so gald to hear you are working with the restore ministry. God really spoke to me through that book and workbook. I end up crying about everytime I start reading it again. I am working on a Beth Moore study right now called "Breaking Free".It is really bringing me closier to the Lord. Keep letting God work in you and keep encouraging others no matter what some might say.Praise God you know the truth!Just remember to be gentle as you have been. I like to read your post also. Hope is great!Such freedom.<BR>In Christ,<BR>Terri<BR><p>[This message has been edited by gentle (edited March 12, 2001).]

Terri,<P><BR> So Glad you got your computer fixed!!! I am sure others would be glad to know you are back.I can not post to much on MB because H has been known to lurk. ( He even posted in divorce/divorcing using my old sreenname.)He is very clever,I am not sure if he has found me in ( PRAYERS.)<P> I try to be gentle and sweet,but H and I had grown very distant,I am sure all he felt was lonliness,even tho at the end I tried to show him my love,satan already had him.<BR> I have gotten almost all of the materials from Erin,watch videos as I am doing housework.<P> When you have time, post a little bit of your stand,I know you do not want to shame your H,But I would like to hear a little of what you have gone thru.<BR> Love and Prayers,Beth<BR> PS THinking of rejected today,I know the depths of her depression,I pray that God stays with her today.

I appreciate the support given in the effort of making a stand. This is, as you all know, one of the toughest struggles to face. The encouragement I receive here & the Lord's love will help me through this. I continue to pray for all of us here and the mountains we must climb.<BR>God Bless,<BR>Petrie<BR>

Alone1,<P>I will pray that your H doesn't lurk here unless God wants him to lurk. If he makes his way here then God will be leading him.<BR>Remember it is what is in your heart that counts and if you don't mean for H to read your post then your heart is in the right place. Anything else will be up to God because that is what we are asking for.Keep your heart in the right place. <BR>In Christ, <BR>Terri <P><p>[This message has been edited by gentle (edited March 12, 2001).]

Petrie,<P>You are on my prayer list. We will win this up hill battle <BR>if we stand on the Rock of Christ Jesus. Remember, ... Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.(ECC 4:12) Keep crying out to the Lord, Beth and I will cry out with you.Peace dear sister.<P>In Christ, <BR>Terri

Alone1, please don't give up praying for your husband and the restoration of your marriage. You are praying within God's will, for it is always His will for a marriage to be restored. He is working, and know He hears your prayers. His heart is breaking too over your marriage. Pray for your husband's salvation and return to the Lord. He needs you to pray for him. Have faith dear sister. The Lord will work what Satan intended for evil to good and for His glory. I know its really, really hard, but praise the Lord for your situation, and for the work He is doing in your life and your husband's life, even though you may not "see" evidence of it. Keep Hebrews 11:1 in your mind "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the EVIDENCE of things unseen". Dear sister, I know how very hard it is... have been there too. The Lord turned my husband's heart, He can turn your husband's too. <P>Father, send Alone1 an extra measure of faith and hope. Lord, her heart is breaking, she cries out to You. Please hear her prayers, and give her eyes to see You, and ears to hear You. Lord, I lift Alone1's husband to You, asking for a hedge of protection around him, keeping the enemy away from him. Lord, in Jesus name I pray that the enemy be cast as far away from Alone1's husband as east is from west. Bring restoration to the marriage, Lord, for Your glory! Father, what a glorious testimony Alone1's faith will be. Lord, we stand on Your promise that "what God has joined together, let no man separate". In the name of Jesus I pray and ask these things, AMEN.

Gentle,<P><BR> I word love to able to share the secrets of my heart with H,but he is not ready for that.He is actively pursueing A divorce.<P> I am feeling low today Gentle,today it seems so unlikely that H will come back.<P><BR> Love and Prayers,beth
