Hi everybody,
I am feeling very down today. I've been feeling that way most of this week. I would just like some prayers to lift my spirits. I've noticed I get this way when I don't hear from my husband for long periods of time. Anyway, the enemy knows he can't get me down (well, too much anyway) spiritually because I know it is an attack. Now the enemy is attacking me by making physically sick. This is not fun. I will continue to trust God in all of this. I know I am following His will for me even though it hurts a lot right now I know it will be turned for my good.

know how you feel and the prayers are yours. it's a delicate balance w/not be able to help the way you feel, praying for God to help you, but the feelings are still there so you think about them, etc. that satan is just so deceptive and is just laughing at us. so we just need to climb up in Jesus arms instead of just holding his hand and ask him to make things go away because only he can.

prayers to you, RR

Father,

Lunadove is trusting you in everything, in spite of everything.

She believes you.

She loves You.

Let the Comforter come to her and encourage her. Give her strength for today to wait on you.

Thank you for what you are doing in her situation.

Shul

You are always in my prayers, my friend.

You need to start doing things for yourself (if you are not already). Go get your hair done, get a manicure, pedicure...whatever. Go out with your son. Enjoy him. He won't be this age ever again. Just try to forget about your problems for a moment and enjoy your life. Keeping yourself busy really does help. I've been so busy with school lately, that sometimes I forget we're separated. I know God is working in my H's life, just like you know He's working in your H's life. There's nothing WE can do about it. Just keep praying. Life does goes on, no matter what. Take Care LD. Hope to chat with you later. Adios!

God Bless!!!!

Hi everybody,
Thanks for the prayers. By the end of today I had really perked up. It also helped that everytime I jumped in the car I turned on my favorite Christian song. I woke up with the song in my head on Thursday morning and found my CD right before I left for work.

H98,
Oh, I've been keeping busy. I live where most of my family lives now. I'm always visiting my aunts and cousins. It's great. I've been doing a lot with my son too when I'm not working. I have to figure out what we should do tomorrow.

Hi everybody,
I just wanted to post the lyrics to the song I can't stop listening to. I love it. Plus, I listen to the Christian music channel when I drive my mom's van. Well, they never play this song. They did today when i happened to think of my husband. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />


In the Light
DC Talk

[1, 2, 3]

I keep trying to find a life
On my own, apart from you
I am the king of excuses
I’ve got one for every selfish thing I do

What’s going on inside of me?
I despise my own behavior
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
That I’m still a man in need of a savior

(chorus)
I wanna be in the light
As you are in the light
I wanna shine like the stars in the heavens
Oh, lord be my light and be my salvation
Cause all I want is to be in the light
All I want is to be in the light

The disease of self runs through my blood
It’s a cancer fatal to my soul
Every attempt on my behalf has failed
To bring this sickness under control

Tell me, what’s going on inside of me?
I despise my own behavior
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
That I’m still a man in need of a savior

(repeat chorus)

Honesty becomes me
[there’s nothing left to lose]
The secrets that did run me
[in your presence are defused]
Pride has no position
[and riches have no worth]
The fame that once did cover me
[has been sentenced to this earth]
Has been sentenced to this earth

Tell me, what’s going on inside of me?
I despise my own behavior
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
That I’m still a man in need of a savior

(repeat chorus 2x)

[there’s no other place that I want to be]
[no other place that I can see]
[a place to be that’s just right]
[someday I’m gonna be in the light]
[you are in the light]
[that’s where I need to be]
[that’s right where I need to be]

I love that song. I know it's an internal struggle a lot of us are facing right now.

Lunadove
