Hi SS, I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to write yesterday afterall...
I've been waiting 7 years, because God has given me clear directiont to do so. Although it has been a long time, I am prepared to wait as long as it takes. I have not dated, as we are still married, and although I don't see him, I know God does, He has His mighty hand on my WS. I know there are days when I get frustrated, and want so much to see him or talk to him, but I have to leave him in God's hands. I wear my ring and rarely take it off. I will not get a divorce, and if he comes to me to ask for one, I will refuse it. Even if he is able to get one without my consent, I will not break the marriage covenant.
I had a moment or two where I felt like giving up, but God has always brought me back to remind me of His promise to me, and my promise to wait.
The past 7 years have been amazing, as God has given me so much joy. He has met all of my needs and continues to do so, as well as blessing me with an awesome relationship with Himself. He has allowed me to see my H through His eyes, and the love I have for that man is amazing to me!
I know that with patience and prayer, the Lord will bring about His promise to me, and that is a restored marriage to the love of my life.
I hope I've answered your questions to the fullest, if you need anything else, I'd be glad to help. Do check out the thread Cajunky has started under "Divorced" called "Restoration of Marriage Prayer Group (date)"
God Bless! SW
