cajunky,
No she hasn't called the MC yet. She is meeting with a friend she has confided in every couple of weeks (this person was a strong prayer warrior in the prayer ministry I had a number of years ago). Every time they meet my W comes home a little more out of the fog it seems. While I know it is important for her to do this. I really think if I bring it up it'll be an LB for her. So far God has been faithful to place people in her life that are trying to keep her accountable. Going back to the MC will be very hard for her. She has a very hard time admitting she is wrong and by going back she'll have to swallow some pride. You know how the enemy uses our pride. Sometimes victory comes a little at a time. I'm patient.
While I wish she would finish her resume and go back to MC. I do feel we are making progress. Not as fast as I'd like but progress none the less.
Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. Of course you are at the top of my prayer list (after my W of course).
I'll be checking in on Wed for prayer.
10 o'clock news is on, time to go to sleep.
Thanks again.
S&C

By no means do you need to suggest anything. God will push her enough without your help. That is where trusting in God comes in. Sometimes Gods timing is not as quick as ours but he is doing what is best and allowing us to grow when he makes us wait.
Thanks for your prayers. I have really needed them the last few days.
Love in Christ cajunky

cajunky,
Well, my experience has been that God will put people in her life to prod her into moving. Any time I have brought up OM or MC or job she seems to get defensive. And any mention of me suffering due any insecurity, gets her in a bit of a tizzy. Usually, I get that way when she is struggling with feelings for OM. I've figured out that it is God's way of telling me that my W is struggling and she knows she will have to share her feelings with me. I guess she wants that part of her life to be private (or she knows how much it hurts me and doesn't want to tell me b/c of the hurt it causes). I know God is faithful. I've believe I'm seeing miracles unfold before my eyes. To bad they seem like they are in slow motion. Well, at the rate I've been "growing" I ought to be about 6'9" 280 lbs. But lots of times I feel about 3" tall. I know that sounds depressing, I don't really feel that way today. I'm just tired. I didn't get much sleep last night.
Wierd, I kept thinking about Alexander from another post. So I figured, if God had him on my mind I should pray for him. Or maybe I'm spending too much time on this forum. I'll check with him on one of his links today to see how he was doing last night.
Thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers.
S&C
