No,I got your email. I even used the reply tool. It just won't go through. Send one to truetoself@gmail.com, and see if I can reply from that one.

2,
Did you get my email? I tried sending it again. I hope it went to you, because it hasn't bounced back yet. Anyway, I am going to sign off in about 15 minutes, so let me know.

Hi Guys. I leave today and won't be back till late Sunday or early Monday before I can talk. I will miss you. This is your chance to talk about me for a couple of days!

Anyway, doing Purpose Driven Life today with my neighbors. Pray for me that it goes well.

Pray that my trip goes well too. I'm really feeling the desire to end this. My husband has too many problems and I don't feel like dealing with it. I didn't sign up for this. None of us did. That is why God must give us an out. I'm about ready to take it.

Anyway, have a great weekend!

2-Have a wonderful weekend. I will pray that you will change your mind while you are gone. Don't let go of your family. If he is still going to counseling with you and at least making an effort, stay with it. Enough time has not passed yet to take the high road. Give God a chance, not an out.
With love for all of you today...
holiday

Hey Everyone,
I apologize upfront for the length of this post, but please read it.

I have had a whirlwind of a day or 2. Can't explain other than I feel like my body, mind and soul were captured by aliens, taken back to their planet, my brain was switched for a while with some google, replaced and then I was transported back to earth. I feel fine now and hope I didn't bruise too many friends along the way. In all I was reminded of what a jewel I have in my wife. She is a gift from God and I recommit to being 100% hers. My 3 kids are most precious and on loan from God. I recommit to being the Dad, example and spiritual leader in the home they need and desire. My God is...well, God. All-knowing (gulp!), all-powerful (yeah!) and ever-present (hello!). His love endures forever, His patience never ends, His grace sufficient, His mercy everlasting, His recovery complete, His provision enough, and His plan for me and my wife...GRAND!

2, Thank you for teaching me to be BOLD!

Holiday, Thank you for teaching me to be WISE!

DogMom, Thank you for teaching me to be PATIENT!

True, Thank you for teaching me to be LOYAL!

I don't know how much I have contributed to your recovery...not much I feel...but I recommit to all of you to be true to who I am and to be a help not a hinderance to your forward progress.

Actually, I don't even know how much longer I will be a part of this group as I find my time being mismanaged, my wife remaining out-of-the-loop, and my emotional deposits displaced too far from home. Please know that I care for you all, but I care for my wife more. If and when the time comes for Rocked to "log out" for the last time I will give you notice so we can at least cyber-hug and say good-bye. (At that time I might even reveal what I do for a living!) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Thank you for your prayers and understanding.

Rocked you are awesome! You have no idea how your last post just spoke to me. That is what this weekend away is about for me. Focusing on how I will manage my time and focus on what is important.

I too have come to love you all and to some degree rely on you for your support here. I too was feeling "bad" about keeping my husband out of the loop as far as my relationship with all of you. But yesterday at lunch, before seeing the OW, I told him about you guys. I told him how much this group had supported me and how much I needed to know I wasn't in this alone. He was fine with it. Asked a few questions and that was it. I was glad I told him. I am glad I am able to speak freely about you guys and your opinions with him. I am glad I "shared" you with him.

I would hate for you to leave Rocked, but fully understand if you need to. I have considered it myself sometimes too. Isn't it amazing how God can sometimes give us something (like a message board) to fill such a need in our lives for just a season?! He is awesome and so are all of you.

In case you leave this weekend while I"m away, know I love you and will pray for you always. Your continued prayers for me will be appreciated too.

After seeing the OW yesterday, I saw what a truly troubled person she is. As I thought more about her, the affair and my husband's issues, I realized how truly troubled my husband is! It isn't just a bad mistake, a sin. He is troubled and we have ALOT of work ahead of us. The MC told me that about 2 weeks ago, and it just hit me what she meant by my husband being "troubled" or dealing with an "addition". I just thought, I"m not sure if I'm up for this. She told me he (my husband) is my ministry right now and it will mean a lot of pain for me. I just keep trying to figure out why? "God! Why are you entrusting me with this task to minister to my husband? Can't you find someone else?" Sounding like Moses huh? So this weekend I will let God know I accept the task, or I fail the test. I know what I want to do in the heart, but my flesh hurts sooooooooo much.

Anyway, I feel you Rocked and love you for your honesty.

Talk to you all on Monday. Leaving here in just a few minutes.

Hey all. Wondering how everyone is doing today. I am sitting in my nice toasty house while it is snowing outside! It is sooo cold here. I guess that gives me an excuse to work my butt off and unpack!
Hope you all have a super day. I will check in later.

Hey guys. I can see nobody is in need of the message boards today. that is great news! Well, I miss talking to you all, but hope it means you are doing well.
As for myself, it isn't going that well at the moment. I wish I could tell you why, but can't express what I am feeling. Anyway, if any of you are out there let me know!

Hi all... I am here... I have had a small headache today- si I have been a veg!! I bought a new truck yesterday!!!!!!!!! I LOVE it- Toyota Tundra-white. It's a total chick truck- very cool.

I wonder how 2 is doing... can't wait to hear about her weekend.

Rocked, where are you? Did the aliens get him again???

True- SNOWING??????? EECK!!! That would be so great- I love cold weather. It was a high of 42 degrees today- for central Texas- that is cold. I love it!!!! I think it's better to be cold than hot, but that is me.

True- I am sorry it's not good for you right now- if you can put your feelings in to words- you know how to get me. I'm here for you!!!
