Hi,<BR>For those of you who don't know me, my H and I have been separated since mid-May and I am currently 7 mos. pregnant. My H has been going through a bit of a mid-life crisis and has been going out, drinking, experimenting with drugs (pills), etc. This is a total 180 for him as he was brought up in a very strong Christian home. Well, about two weeks ago, my H started calling more and initiating lunch dates, we went to a ball game together, and have been going to church together for the past two weeks. He mentioned that he wants to get his life "back on track" and has even talked about coming home. I told him that we needed to talk about things and he agreed. During our talk I told him that I wanted him to be sure before coming home because I could not go through this again (this is our second time being separated). I also told him that I wanted him home because of ME and not because our son or the new baby. (when he left he said the classic: "I love you but I'm not in love") Well, he got very quiet, agreed with everything I said and told me that maybe we should just continue as we are-working on our friendship, until he is 100% sure. Well, now I am afraid I have put him into confusion even further. We still went to church together last Sun. but I think the pull of his friends is still too strong as he went out "partying" with them both Fri. and Sat. nights. I just sense such confusion and conflict within him!! He wants to do the right thing but the pull of his friends and the devil is still too much for him to overcome! I think he wants both worlds right now. Can you please pray for him/us. I really want him to turn his back on that sordid lifestyle and come back to his family and God 100% I feel like we are almost there but he keeps getting pulled away!! Thanks for any advice and prayers you can offer!<BR>June

Dear God,<P>We just lift this couple to you as they are searching for your will in all of this. I also pray that you look after the H as he goes to these parties and keep him safe. Would you give him the strength he needs to pull away from the lifestyle he is in and open his heart to the W he has left. AMEN
