My dear Sisters in Christ,<P>I have been on the MB forum for 8 months now. I have found it to be the thing that brought sanity to me and clarity. I have felt the power of the women of this bible study especially. I have had the joy of being prayed for and of praying for many different women and their situations.<P>At this point in time I am sensing the need to take a break and concentrate on our counseling. Alot of things are coming out and I really feel this will be the time of our complete healing.<P>I am seeing a side of my husband that is very new to me, it would seem that he has some very serious issues with who he is as a man, husband, and father. I want to spend my time praying for him to be released from the bondage which has entangled him since he was a young boy. <P>God is so good and I am seeing my miracle in the making. <P>I treasure your friendships and will stop in every now and then. You will continue to be in my prayers.<P>God Bless,<BR>Love, Taj/Cathy

Thank you for your sweet spirit and inspiration! God bless all your efforts. See you later. Update us if and when you feel the need.<P>Love,<P>K<P>------------------<BR>A true friend is one who not only is willing to love us the way we are, but is able to leave us better than he found us.

I think I'm going to cry! Will you please come back and visit us? Would it help if I beg? I know I'll be having withdrawal from you Taj! You've been such a wonderful inspiration to me, and the others too I'm sure. I will miss you so much!<P>Please know that I will still be praying for you and your husband. I can certainly understand your desire to concentrate on counseling and healing. Praise God for your miracle Taj! <P>If you're ever in the D/FW area, let me know, ok? We'll have to get together for a "real" chat, instead of just cyber-chat.<P>Love, hugs, and prayers to you,<BR>AW

Taj,<BR>God bless you and keep you all the days of your life. I will miss you.<BR>love,<BR>Lor

Dear Taj,<P>Sad to see you go! But I completely understand. You have to concentrate on counseling for you and your husband. I myself still lurk, but sometimes I think I don't have much to offer anymore. <P>We are doing very well, thanks to our Lord. My h and I spend a lot of quality time together, w/ & w/o the children. And he has been going to church with us. But of course, I know that I will always cherish this forum and my dear friends who helped me when I was at my lowest. It's hard to leave MB, I'm not around as much anymore, actually, only to check in on friends like yourself, AW, HW, etc. in hopes that their marriages/lives will soon be restored.<P>I pray for your happiness and that you keep following the right path to the Lord our God and that your husband sees VERY clearly the road to recovery!!! <P>You'll always be in my thoughts and prayers (even if you nor I are around much), It was a pleasure meeting you!<P>Pookie ~ keep smiling!

Pookie, you have SO MUCH to offer! It is hope, encouragement, knowledge that recovery DOES happen, Husbands DO turn back to the Lord, marriages ARE saved! It is such a blessing to those of us who are struggling to see and hear about a restoration. Your testimony is all for God's glory! <P>Thank you so much for being here.

Taj,<BR>I didn't respond last week not because I didn't care there were some days I just couldn't respond at all. I too will miss your input. You have been such a support to all. I pray that you will draw closer to God and that your counseling will be lead by God and that you and your husband will keep getting closer. My prayers are with you and you will be part of our Tuesday prayer time. Best wishes and drop in once in a while when you can and update us.<P>Father, I lift Taj and her husband up to You. Be in the midst of their counseling sessions. Reveal to each, h and w, where you are working in both separately and together. Let them draw closer to you in prayer and soul. Put a hedge of protection around them as a couple and let nothing that is not of you get in and let Your wisdom enter thieir counseling sessions and be thier guide to reconstruction of their marriage. Lord, Thank You for Your ever present help in time of need. Lord I pray for Your glory to radiate through the restoration of this marriage. In Jesus name, Amen.
