Small praise, but we had a fight and I left the house angry. On the way to get the kids, I was sad and wanted to call and explain myself to Chris and cry and beg his forgiveness like I have always done, so I called twice and couldn't get him. I started crying and praying and had sudden peace and knew I shouldn't be running to Chris to "comfort" me. So I started praying to God and thanking Him for keeping my focus on Him. I called Chris again and this time he picked up and instead of crying and begging forgiveness, I told him that I love him. He said he loved me too and that HE WAS SORRY! Lol so yeah God turned that around. He told me he loved me again as we were getting off the phone.
Please keep me in prayers the next few days. I'm really an emotional roller coaster this week. It's my birthday Tuesday, and this time last year, Chris was with his Korea girlfriend, so I'm pretty emotional and trying to forgive and not feed this bitterness and the enemy is using it a lot. Thanks guys

Sharon, I'm so glad that God turned the moment around! What a blessing!
I will be praying extra hard for you! I feel like the enemy has been putting negative and painful thoughts of the past in my mind lately too. I keep having to shake my head and tell myself to quit it!! Let's remember to pray (together) for God to help us stay focused on the present! I know it's hard but the past is gone and it brings us no joy to go digging through the old muck. Instead we can concentrate on the beautiful present-tense flowers that grew in our lives and marriages (despite the muck!!) because God poured on the blessing fertilizer!
(Oh man, that was a crazy little metaphor, hope it makes sense, haha!)
But yes, I've got your back in prayer Sharon! Head up, eyes on God!! :-)
