allmyloveforever,
i am so sorry for your pain and that of your children.
there is so much to learn here, maybe God is answering your prayers by helping you find this site. I pray that your husband finds his way home.

FinallyLearning, thank you for your prayer. Yes, I do think God is leading me in directions to help me - like this site. I have prayed for encouragment and strength - and found this. Thanks again and please keep praying. I love my husband.

I'm not sure if some/many of you know this, and it's kind of neat so I just wanted to share...
In Hebrew, "Abba" does not mean: "great, all-knowing, all-powerful Father". It is the term that little children affectionately call their daddy at home...like when he comes home from work, the kids run towards him with open arms saying, "Abba, Abba, you're home!! YAY!!"
So when we pray to Abba we are not praying to the all-wise, learned, rabbi "God" Father--we are talking to our Daddy, sitting on His knee, telling Him about our day...

allmyloveforever - Read up all you can on the following site: www.rejoiceministries.orgYou and the boys will be in my prayers ... I'm sorry for your pain, but God will use it to mold and shape you into the invincible woman he created the day you were born. Don't give up. God uses ALL things ... ALL things for His glory! Focus on Him right away ... DO NOT ... and I repeat ... DO NOT focus on your marriage and your husband. God sees this as a form of idoltry and will slap your hand for it ... see the two relapses below on my sig line? I firmly believe those occurred as a combination of my H's free will and my unwillingness to leave it in God's hands. Many blessings!

Hi Allmylove forever:
I am also new to MB. Keep praying to God for support and guidance. My situation is a lot different, but without prayer I don't know where I would be. I posted on negotiations in marriage if you would like to give me your thoughts it would be much appreciated.Take care of yourself and remember That God has great things instore for you. Patience is a virtue.
