Support options are becoming so readily available to me. I think it has 100% to do with the fact that I JUST NOW really put my foot down and decided I am NOT giving up. For the whole six months that my H has been gone I've kept thinking to myself I don't know what to do. I don't want a divorce but I didn't know of any other options. I have always believed in God and have a relationship with him but for some reason my faith was not strong enough to give my marriage problems to him completly. I felt I had to be DOING something. Either pathetically nagging my H and trying and trying to get him to talk to me so we could work things out and when that didn't appear to be working I felt divorce was my only other option.<P>Two weeks ago my minister started a marriage series and he shared some wonderful stories of recovered marriages. There was counseling available after the service and I went and talked to a marriage mentoring couple. And lo and behold the woman in that marriage, with the help of God saved their marriage with no help from him at all. And at that moment I knew God has a plan for my marriage. I've always felt it but I felt hopelessness along with it. <P>Now I feel empowered. I know I won't always feel this good about the journey I'm about to take but I know I'll always know I'm doing the right thing. And now I know I'll always have support.<P>Anyway I called the Church counseling center today and the counseler I spoke with said there is a bible study starting TONIGHT and they are doing POPW. Everything is coming together and finally I feel peace. <P>------------------<BR>Romans 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, That you may abound in hope through the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13
