Hi all,<BR>Just wanted to share some good news with all of you involved in the prayer vigil. You might remember that my requests involved H coming back to our bed and drawing ever closer to the loving relationship we used to have. Well, H returned from his new job at 5:00am ths morning, came straight to my room, waking me of course..to talk about is night. He was exhausted...he stripped down, rinsed off and crawled in bed next to me and we both went sound asleep!!!!! How's that for a quick response to prayer! WOW!! Of course, I expect he'll slide back to his room some but how nice to have him there today. And , I left to go visit my grandma and left car phone in the car. When I came home, H had called already twice. Thinking there surely was an emergency, I called from the road to see what was wrong. He had been awake 2 hours and was anxious for me to get home...he wanted me to ride with him to run errands, and he wanted to take me out to eat dinner. I was in AWE of the miracle that had obviously taken place...and I thanked God all the way home and the whole time we were riding around in the car.<P>And with regard to waht AW shared on the prayer request post about how Satan attacks more strongly when victoy is near.....yep, you guessed it...before we even got home from our beautiful evening, H said he was thinking of going to FL over 4th of July to see his dad in Jax before he has surgery. (FIL is scheduled to have surgery sometime, but I don't think soon...and H hasn't seemed interested in his health at all lately) However, H doesn't know that I know that OW just moved to Orlando. And of course, when H asked where Jax was..how far from our home..I gave an estimated time but not exact..so he asked, "Well, how far is it from Orlando, I know where that is?" I almost died right there in the store!!! All I could do was not look at him and try to walk quickly away from him t get our shopping done fast. Even so, he tried to comfort me..asking what was wrong, stroking my face, putting his arms around and squeezing my shoulders. (again, thanking God for that)<P>So, I will continue to pray. I did mention to H our current financial deficit and asked him how he would afford the trip since we weren't going to meet the bills this month. He was irritated a bit , and replied for me to "chill and not worry about it"...he said he probably wouldn't go anyway. So I'll be praying that he makes the decision to stay here and stand by our family. I am praying daily that the ties between the two of them will fade and that she will find another, single person there to take her interest away from H. Afteer what I saw today, I know God can and will come through.<P>Just wanted to share.<BR>My prayers are with you all.<BR>Kim

Kim, wow. Praise the Lord, he did answer quickly. The Lord lifted the gloom from me about 9:45 EST tonight. I wrestled all day with this over shadowing that I just could not get back to trusting God as I had and worrying about this new twist. I kept giving it over nd over and then all of a sudden it was gone. Praise the Lord and for all of you who were praying.<BR>

Kim, PTL!!! Our God is so awesome. Isn't it great to sit back and watch Him work. Wow.<P>Keep praying without ceasing, no matter what. If your H ends up not going, praise God over and over. Never let up praising Him. We owe the Lord so much and can never repay Him, but He does love a thankful heart.<P>I copied the following prayer off the standers list. Thought I would share it with you. I thought it was beautiful!<P>"<I>Father God, how thankful we are now that no matter what happens, YOU ARE IN CONTROL!! We thank You for the victories that have already come and those that are on there way! We thank You that nothing happens that You can't handle or that You don't know about. We thank You that because You are our Strength, we can make it through each day and each trial; because You are our Joy, we can Sing in the midst of our storms; because You give us Peace, we can remain constant while the atmosphere around us is in chaos. Because you are our everything and our all, we can draw closer to You and become more like You. Father, bless us all this day with special things, be they encouragement from someone or a phone call or even hearing the words, "I love you." Help us to stand and wait for Your Salvation. Help us to keep our focus on You and to set our sights on the things above that will bring true happiness and eternal life. In Jesus Name, we ask, believing that Your Will shall be accomplished. Amen and amen.</I>" <P>If your H does go, keep praying, asking Him to use the circumstances to His glory and good. Pray that the Lord turn your husband's heart back to Him and then to you. I'm praying with you Kim.<P>Blessings,<BR>AW<BR>
