Hello everyone. Thank the Lord that the site is up and running again!! I need your prayers today. I have been very sad and feeling lost. Please pray that my H's heart is turned away from the OW. He hasn't spoken to her in a couple of weeks, but i know he is thinking of her [img]images/icons/mad.gif" border="0[/img] ! It makes me physically ill to know that my H thinks of the OW, and I need your prayers desperately!<P>Thanks in advance!!<P>Krystal

FnH, I know how difficult this must be for you. I'm pretty much at the same stage with my W. From what everyone tells me here this very difficult time will continue for a while. You need to be strong. You have to have faith in yourself and your H. If your love for him is strong, as mine is for my W, I believe with all my heart that eventually they will come to realize what we're offering them and they will come back to us completely.

I am praying for you in my heart. <BR>What was most revolutionary for me <BR>was when God showed me that I should <BR>seek HIM first in my life. I was too <BR>focused on my own problem, fixing my <BR>marriage and always wanted to twisted <BR>God's hands to make things right <BR>right away. It has been a long time <BR>waiting on my wife's love to return. <BR>I'm still waiting. But while waiting, <BR>I am now seeking God to fill me with <BR>HIS love. <P>Keep strong. God is not finished with <BR>you and with your spouses. We're all going <BR>through the fire. We are being tested. <BR>Let God hold you and carru you .... <P>GreenHouse

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Bgentle:<BR><STRONG>Praying.</STRONG><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P> Also praying for ya, FiH. We usually pray on Thursdays, at 6 PM CDT, I hope we can now get enough people on board to do that again this evening.<P>I am also requesting prayer for all of us, whose WS's are still gone. Mine is still living w/OW, and I continue to pray for him to "tire" of her, and/or her to LB! [img]images/icons/shocked.gif" border="0[/img]<P>I also ask for special prayer....I will be seeing WH next week (first time in 5 months!), and would like to have assurance that his heart is "prepared." I KNOW God is "sending" me to see him....you wouldn't believe the story of how it is coming about if I told it!! HA!! I KNOW it could only be from the Lord....please pray. I guess I'm a little "worried" - although I need NOT be, since the Lord is setting up the circumstances for this divine appointment.<P>Greenhouse, I am also coming to this same "revelation" (DUH for me!!!) about what the Lord is intending for me to do with my "alone" time till he restores my M. I am supposed to be leaning on HIM. I'm supposed to be fellowshipping with HIM, and drawing closer to Him. I am, and I'm learning to do so more and more!

I know that you are all right! I have just been upset the last two days...Nothing happened, just feeling down, I guess. I know to seek God first, and leave it alone, but I still find myself trying my hand in the restoration---that is when I usually feel my worst---Thanks again!<P>Krystal

Krystal,<P>It is hard for us to let God be God. I am always having to repent of trying to do His job.You are right, that is why we feel worse<BR>when we try to change things. This is the hardiest thing I have ever done im my life. About the time I feel I am walking on water, <BR>I sink. Praise Jesus , He is always there to <BR>pull me up again. Praising Him and His word brings me back in line. It helps to get encouragment here. My computer is in storage and I have had to take time off from the support here. It does help to know God's people are here to lift us up. Keep the faith, and remember God is working.<P>In Him,<BR>gentle

I am praying for you FIM, your H and your family. Miracles do happen and it sounds you have been strong in both love and faith. Keep doing what you've been doing--seems to be working. Kinda like the old saying about not fixing something that isn't broken. <p>Many greater obstacles God has overcome. Your live, and mine, has probably been an emotional rollercoaster. I hate rollercoasters. In college, I asked my physics professor about this b/c we were discussing something related to rollercoasters in his lecture--gravity and something like that. He told me that when the ride gets too much, shut your eyes. You don't feel the sensations, just the rushing of wind. Open them when you feel braver. That's how I've ridden this one. Shut my eyes and let God have it all.<p>Feel like a miracle is in the working here. Just remember, Rome wasn't built in a day, nor was this world--even took 7 for God. Be patient, yet strong in love and faith. I am here. Praying for you and wanting the very best. Be tough a little longer--your family is depending on you.<p>"Therefore put on the full armor of God so that when the day of evil comes you may be able to stand your ground; and after having done everything, to stand."
