This has been around on email forever but it really makes you stop and think about some things we may not think about much.

I Believe:
that we don't have to change friends
if we understand that friends change.

I believe:
that no matter how good a friend is they're
going to hurt you once in a while and you must forgive
them for that.

I believe:
that true friendship continues to grow,
even over the longest distance.
Same goes for true love.

I believe:
that you can do something in an instant
that will give you heartache for life.

I believe:
that it's taking me a long time
to become the person I want to be.

I believe:
that you should always leave loved ones
with loving words. It may be the last
time you see them.

I believe:
that you can keep going
long after you think you can't.

I believe:
that we are responsible for what we do,
no matter how we feel.

I believe:
that either you control your attitude
or it controls you.

I believe:
that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first,
the passion fades and there had better be something else to take
its place.

I believe:
that heroes are the people
who do what has to be done
when it needs to be done,
regardless of the consequences.

I believe:
that sometimes the people you expect
to kick you when you're down,
will be the ones to help you get back up.

I believe:
that sometimes when I'm angry
I have the right to be angry,
but that doesn't give me
the right to be cruel.

I believe:
that maturity has more to do with
what types of experiences you've had
and what you've learned from them
and less to do with how many
birthdays you've celebrated.

I believe:
that it isn't always enough to be
forgiven by others. Sometimes you
have to learn to forgive yourself.

I believe:
that no matter how bad your heart is
broken the world doesn't stop for your
grief.

I believe:
that our background and circumstances
may have influenced who we are,
but we are responsible for who we
become.

I believe:
that just because two people argue, it
doesn't mean they don't love each other.
And just because they don't argue,
it doesn't mean they do.

I believe:
that two people can look at the exact
same thing and see something totally
different.

I believe:
that even when you think you have no more
to give, when a friend cries out to you
you will find the strength to help.

I believe:
that credentials on the wall
do not make you a decent human being.

I believe:
that the people you care about most in
life are taken from you too soon.

Free.... I have been wondering how you are doing. I am so glad to see you giving your marriage another shot. I prayed for you several times. I will pray for your marriage to continue to move forward. It is people like you that continue to give me faith to stand for my marriage.

I have read this in the past but I read it today and tried to apply it to my life right now and it was so much deeper to me.

Heres one:
I believe that no matter how bad the marriage seems if you are willing to give it to god and change the things that make it bad it can be saved no matter the circumstances.

Love in Christ

Hi cajunky,
Thanks and you specifically are one person who convinced me to give it another try. However, it is a struggle for me. I seem to have lost feelings that I cannot find. Don't know how this is going to work. I almost feel guilty being here with him without those feelings. I am going to give it some more time tho. I am happy you have come such a long way. I too feel like I have grown a lot from my experiences and am a much better and happier person. I have found that we can be happy even in the midst of turmoil as happiness comes from within. I just wish I could have the feelings I think I should have towards H. I don't hate him I just feel nothing. How does one get over that?

Free...IMHO I think you start from square one. Ask each other what your favorite color is, what is your favorite flower. Act like you are dating all over again and find out everything about each other. I think the major thing is time. Go out on dates together. Hold hands while walking down the street.

Most of all pray together that God will bless your marriage and put his love in your heart for your husband.

Again....PRAY, PRAY, PRAY

Love in Christ
