I would have posted this on the Restoring Marriages thread but I thought a lot of people would have already looked at it this week and I wanted prayer for it. A friend of mine at church who I have really come to know the past month has a possible brain tumor. he had an MRI done today and he will get the results back tomorrow morning. Just pray that the test come back negative.

I am the singles department group leader coordinator and he is one of my key people. He is one heck of a piano player and he lives for God. He told me today while we were at the place getting his MRI that he really likes me. He said " You know when you click with someone first off and you know your going to like them. I feel that way about you. You are very special"

My praise is this. I have had the privilage of eating dinner with my wife and kids the last two nites. Today I picked my little girl up from school and we went and cleaned my wifes apartment for 2 hours. She is 8 and we planned to do this when she was with me this weekend. We worked like dogs for 2.5 hours and really did a great job. I didn't mind at all. In fact I had so much fun doing it because I knew my wife would appreciate it and I knew it was a way to serve her. My wife knew something was up but didn't know exactly what. When she got home she was pleasantly surprised. She told us thank you several times.
The thing I am really praising is the last two nites have been pretty good. For the first time in over a year I have felt comfortable talking to my wife and she is getting more and more comfortable with me. When we were eating tonite she got me a piece of garlic bread because she know I love it.
When I left I called her to tell her something about my son and like I always do I told her that I loved her. She said I LOVE YOU TOO and hung up. I don't know if it was a slip of the tongue but I don't think so. Those words are what I have been praying to hear for such a long long long time. I cried while I thanked God for his answered prayed and his blessings.

Don't worry I still know we have a long long long road ahead of us but just those three words sent me a million miles away for a while.

God is Good!!!!!!!

Love in Christ

I'm so happy for you.

I know those words mean everything to you.

Thank God! Your faith is a true inspiration and I thank you for that.

God is good

Praise the Lord, cajunky!

Thank you for sharing your story. It was just the inspiration I needed to continue my battle for reconciliation! I will be sure to add a praise for you and a prayer for your friend to my prayers tonight.

God is truly Great!

Hi Cajunky,

That's great news - As the heart thinketh the mouth speakest. You met an emotional need and she blurrped it out, slip or not she said it, women don't say those words 'I love you' lightly unless they're trying to seduce you, then they'll say anything. I'm sure she's not, the pilot went out in the marriage but the gas was on all the time, you just lit it again. I'm sure it made an impact on her as well.I'm sure she's thinking 'look what I just said'. ..but as we all say take it slow, she still has an engagement heart string to break, don't become her rebound because rebounds don't last, it's just a temporary drug to reduce the emotional heartbreak pain and when the pain stops you go about your business though if the person never existed. Keep the faith for more good things.

Praise God! Thanks for sharing such a great praise with us. Manyof us really need it.

I will pray for your friend.

Server was down @ work for a few days. Sorry I haven't been around.

God is awesome! I am praying for you guys. You are the MB plan A role model for sure <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Am praying for your friend.

And I believe you are slowly opening the door to your xW's heart. Keep up the awesome work! We are here to help and give good advice. Can at least give the women's perspective ok? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

I guess the reason I like this place so much is I can get so many different perspectives. Getting a womans perspective is very important to me because I am on such quest to learn all about my wifes feelings and hurts and I know a woman goes through the process totally different from a man.

One of our elders/sunday school teachers teaches on the differance between men and women. One of his points is that a woman needs her "Attention Tank" filled everyday. I want to overfill my wifes for the rest of her life.

Love in Christ

PRAISE THE LORD!!!
I am so thrilled for you Caj.... I am overwhelmed at what God will do for us, whether we are faithful or not, He is there for us. But when we are faithful to Him, ah the rewards! You are recieving your rewards and I look forward to this journey of a restored marriage!
I also will pray for your friend, God is in control, and it's just another of those, "hard to understand" issues, but He knows, that's what counts.
God Bless today and always, SW

I came into the office this morning doing my ritual and came across your praise. I closed my door lifted my hands in praise in thanksgiving to God for your family. I am so happy for you. It's great to see things are getting better. Praise the Lord

May God's blessings continue to overflow in your life.

Love in Christ.

Cajunky - You are so special to have your daughter and you clean your wifes apartment. She appreciated it, and it was nice to have her say thankyou twice. Knowing how things are, couples take each other for granted. Here, you did this out of your heart, and she loved it. And she said 'I love you', that was the most beautiful words you could hear.

Keep up the good work.
