Hello, all.<BR> I've got GREAT NEWS TODAY!!! No, WH did *not* come home yet <P>Some of you may remember I asked for prayer to go out with letter I sent to H. Well, maybe not, I did that on Prayer Requests forum. Anyway, I think I referred to "the letter" here. I asked for help in what to write from Lor, Lostva and some others (sorry, I've forgotten everyone's names) about specifics of what I should write about. Left to my own devices, the letter WOULD have said, "COME HOME, NOW, DAMMIT!!!" That would be dumb. <P>Well, I talked to his son this morning, and H told his son all about "the letter!" (S) said his dad told him he got a letter from me. I said, "Oh, great, was he really mad I wrote him?" (S) said, "No, actually, he sounded kinda GLAD about it, excited" (!!!!) He then proceeded to tell me what was in the letter! Leading me to believe that H had read it over *several* times, and was quite familiar w/every word I wrote, in order to more or less recite it to (S).....I'm soooo happy I could cry (come to think of it, I DID!!!)<P>Soooo, let me say here UNequivocably, THIS STUFF WORKS!!! Lor, everyone, THANK YOU soooo much for your guidance. Without it, I would have NEVER written, or worse, have written everything that swirls around in my head all day....really bad stuff, sometimes. As it is, I can see H's heart is softening. TrueHeart, YOU ARE MY HERO!! I thank you for your words of encouragement, (and suggestion that I THUMP my H's head occasionally), and Faith1, Trying, Trusting, Lostpup - everyone who has lent a hand on bended knee. I'm just so full of thanks for everyone being here, I can't stand it tonight!! Any new people on here, THIS STUFF WORKS!! If an "old-timer" tells ya what to do, take their word for it, cause IT WORKS!!! <P>H may not be home, YET, but I know he's thinking, I know he's getting that "warm fuzzy" feeling from reading the letter, and I know he'll be eager to get the next one (which got sent out tonight, actually) !! <P>When you are told Plan A, Plan A, Plan A, DO IT!! IT WORKS!! I NEVER in a million years thought my H's HARD HEART could soften toward me.....for those of you who don't know my story, H left w/ only a note on TV. TOTALLY NO CONTACT for almost 12 weeks now. BUT I was advised to Plan A "long distance." I was skeptical, not believing this would work with MY H. After all, "they didn't know him" - how distant he was, how he was feeling towards me, how totally untouchable he had become, blah, blah, blah. <P>I "believed" God could work a miracle, but I never thought it would be as simple as the FIRST LETTER I wrote!! He has been touched, though. It's obvious!! I know we still have a TON of work to do. BUT this sounds like such a breakthrough to me, you have no idea. <P>This post is waaay too long, but I've been "standing" and believing for so long with no sign of positive movement, I just HAD to share this little bit of good news. I'm so happy, I'm going to cry again!!!<P>Lupo

Curious-how did you Plan A long distance? I am separated in the same town with fairly frequent contact, and it is still a challenge to find a chance.<P>Wow, what a selfish post mine is! Congrats on your news!<P>[This message has been edited by ANB3 (edited August 07, 2001).]<p>[This message has been edited by ANB3 (edited August 07, 2001).]

<P>I'm sooooo happy for you lupo!!! You really needed that bit of hope - you've been losing hope lately. That's wonderful news. Keep hanging in there. God's working on your H.<P>------------------<BR>Faith1<P>"Then Jesus answered, 'Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.'"<BR>Matt 15:28

Lupo,<P>Good for you!! Glad to hear it worked. Do you plan to do more of them now? What's step 2?<P>Z<P>------------------<BR>He loves not who does not show love.<BR>----William Shakespeare

Awwwe Lupo,<P>I'm so happy for you. It is TRUE ... Plan A does work. I Plan A'd my marriage/H for a few mos, he started to tell me he was learning to love me again. Before that he was quite angry w/me, I think he hated me or acted like he did. <P>So, you be happy. And keep working on you and what you want, your marriage. We'll all be here to help too. <P>Very best, and thank you for sharing good news, we certainly need it around here. <P>Love and prayers,<BR>Jo

<B>Do you plan to do more of them now? What's step 2?<BR></B><P>Z -<P>MORE letters, just like Lostva!!! She's my hero ya know? <BR>I don't plan to do anything other than more letters. I figure he'll call, or write ME when it's time to "step up" the advance....I'd like to hear from STL on this....his analogy of "war tactics" strikes me as humorous, but useful, since we ARE fighting a war, here!<P>I wrote another letter and sent it tonight....it's just getting a little more personal, talking about how I miss him, blah, blah, stuff he needs to hear. I also mentioned a good friend of ours, whose mother passed away last night. I thought he might want to know about that...he's in their town, and he MAY go see our good friend, to comfort her, but actually SHE'll comfort HIM!!! <P>ANB3, I write letters to him. He moved 150 miles away, and changed cell #, so I can't call or see him, so Lostva, Lor and others recommended writing letters! I did, and apparently he IS reading them!! I wasn't sure he would.<P>Faith1, YES!!! I had a really *down* week-end, didn't I? I KNEW a blessing was just around the corner (I really DID!! Even tho it didn't seem like I did!), and today, it came in SPADES.....after work (and talk w/SS), I went to Mailboxes, etc, and picked up my mail...there was an envelope from Rejoice Ministries. Have you ever gotten anything from them? Well, in this package of stuff (mostly requests to buy some of their books) - which I wouldn't mind doing if I had any money! There is a little Plastic package - a little "baggie" - guess what's in it? MUSTARD SEEDS!!!!!!<P>This was SOOOOO cool!! God sent me MUSTARD SEEDS!!!! Cause that's about all the faith I have, fer sure!!!!!! AND IT'S MOVING MOUNTAINS!!!!!!!! I just can't stand it.<P>Sometimes God showers blessings down on us soooo much, that we almost feel like saying, "ENOUGH, Lord!! I can't stand sooo much blessing all at once!!!" <P>God is so Good. He loves us, and we just don't know how much.<P>Lupo<BR>

HI Lupo,<BR>Congrats on making plan a work for you. There are ways to get thru to them! <BR>Careful not to overdue the letters Lupo. Too many will be overkill. Again, congrats on this great step forward.<BR>cl

Lupo- I am so glad to hear that your letter is having a positive effect! Thats terrific! I know when my H moved out for awhile I followed Plan A and it DID help- if I had been especially harsh with H at that time I think he would have become even MORE attached to OW. I hope things continue to improve for you! Keep posting! lifeismessyPS Prayer DOES work- I know several times when my H insisted on D- I prayed heavily and he changed his mind about it- that was no accident

It does work doesn't it good for you

Congratulations on your very positive step forward! Enjoy the feeling this brings.<P>God Bless!

Lupo,<P> I am glad to see your situation turning around. <P>Indy
