Ok Everyone, God is going to have the opportunity to work again.. Patty and I have court again tomorrow (Wed. 3-20) It is for a scheduling conf. for the divorce. Patty said last week she doesn't want to divorce. All of the papers filed say's she does and until she changes all of that I have to assume we are getting divorced. Please pray for her heart to really soften and that she would immediately file the papers that will allow us to legally talk again and to stop the divorce. Pray that she will take action to reconcile and not just say that she wants to. Pray that tomorrow will be a wonderful time of healing for both of us. Thank you so much. I will let you know what happened on Thursday. ><> Ted

You have my prayers. ive been reading your posts and seems to me the Lord does have his hand in your situation.Im in the same boat as you. My wife left 17 months ago after 21 years married. She filed for divorce in Dec of 99 and I have yet to sign them. She insist she wants the divorce but as of the present the papers sit in the court house dormat. I did recieve a letter a month ago from her attorney asking me if my attorney was going to represent me because my wife wants to finalize the divorce.(my wife and I have not even talked about settlemant at all.) Just as you pray that God softens your wifes heart I pray the same for you, that God will met the desires of your heart and reconcile you with your wife. Your right in believing for restoration of your marraige and keep your chin up and claim the victory in front of you in the authority of Jesus. God bless you brother. Hope to see a testimony from either one of us soon.<BR>rick 21

Rick and Ted,<P>My prayers are with you both.<P>In Christ,<BR>gentle

Ted,<BR>This must be so hard for you after all you've gone through. I pray that it won't happen, but if it should - still don't give up. Pray for the Lord's will. You are going to be so pure when you finish this trial that you will truly be a light as we are asked to be. You already are a light on this forum. Hang tough and look to the future, not the present. The Lord hears your prayers.<P>Dear Jesus,<BR>Give Ted a sign that You are with him. Don't let him feel abandoned by You no matter what happens. Let him feel Your presence and help him to trust You. I ask this in Your Most HOly Name, Jesus Christ.<BR>Let peace reign in all our hearts so we may go forward and spread Your GOOD NEWS.

Dear Friends,<BR>Thank you for your prayers. God is so good. He let Patty and I talk again for over an hour yesterday. Her heart was much softer and she even cried as we walked out of the court house together to her car. She sees all of the changes in me and she feels how real they are. It's everything she always wanted and she is really having trouble with throwing this marriage away. She said she wants the divorce only so we can start clean again. i can go along with that but I wish it wasn't that way. Please pray for her to start to go to counseling with me. Pray for both of our hearts to stay soft before the Lord. We have another meeting time next thursday 3-29 at 5pm. please pray for us to heal more and more and that God will open the door to save this marriage. Pray that she will see our marriage as more important than what her friends think of her decisions. I thank each one of you for your faithfulness to pray. May god richly bless you, Ted ><>

great news! God is truly providing for you. I pray that your success with your wife continues and that she reconciles her ill feelings such that her heart and yours can rejoin in the joy of love and the Lord. May God continue to shine light on you. God bless..

I am really happy for you. We all need to work on ourselves as best we can and allow God to change us the rest of the way.<BR>Don't be in a hurry. Change is accomplished in baby steps but you're on the right track. There will be other setbacks but you're on the right track. I think God helps all of us when He helps one of us and I am happy to share in your great news!
