So... Andy asked me if we were still on for tomorrow and I had to explain it to him that I still didn't have my license. Our date is canceled but he was nice. This is what he said... I can tell God is working on him so... ya'll please pray!
I don't have a vehicle. That was why I said for you to pick me up. Thought you already had a license too. Don't worry about it. Let me know when you get your license and a car and we can plan a day. I'm not even mad. Still waiting to see this big change you have been bragging about. But I got time. Plenty of it. I can't see anyone new cause I'm still married to you, I can't see you cause you still don't have a license or a car, I can't make money like I want to because I don't have a car and I have to borrow one to do service calls if I get them, and I will not borrow anything to come and see you because I have put all the work I'm going to put in on me and you until you start doing your part. So I guess I got plenty of time. You just let me know when you accomplish a goal. Any of them. Then we will talk again. Until you get your together we can't even talk about fixing whatever this is. I had my together but didn't do a bit of good so I'm going to keep my life just like it is until one of two things happen. One is you get your together so we can figure out if we can be saved or two you agree we can't be saved and sign the divorce papers. Up to you. I'm not making anymore decisions and I'm not investing another dime in a we until you figure you out. Cause I can't. I don't know what why when where or how anymore. I look forward to hearing from you when you pick one and make it happen. Like I did for us. So many times. Until then. Good evening.

Hey Lindsey, thanks for sharing this... His message seems very positive to me! Maybe he's not ready to act but it seems like he's actually open to restoration, even if he is still being a bit demanding. I would really encourage you to do what's necessary to get your license and practice driving as much as possible. Maybe within a few weeks you'll be able to borrow your mother's car and make that date happen!
I'll keep praying for you both!

I agree with Adrienne - of course we don't know the dynamics of your marriage that he's referring to, but I see positive vibes coming from him. It looks to me like the ball in is your court. Pray hard for God to lead you into the direction He wants you to go, and I'm confident Andy will be at the end of that destination. I'll keep praying for you both.

I agree with the others....he's waiting for you.....probably both your husband and god. Give the driving piece to god.....find someone at church to tell and pray for guidance from them...guidance to help you past this hurdle with your license. Get it done.....god's got this!

In my experience, Tony came home with this very same attitude. It was so very hard. It seemed like at least 5 times a day he was saying, "your just going to go back to how you were before" and he was constantly waiting for me to mess up in the slightest way so he could point it out & say, "I told you your the same, you'll never change" it was terrible to say the least. But after a while of that, he started seeing that I really had changed a lot & he saw how much my relationship w the Lord has grown since hed been away. Then I noticed him really pull away around this time because now that he couldn't point his finger at me in the relationship, he was faced with his own issues that he hadn't grown in at all- infact it was as if while we were apart, he took big steps backward in his over all maturity, & definatly in his walk with the Lord. He had no relationship at all with the Lord at this point. Him pulling away was so hard because I could see what was happening & he couldn't. And I was told to zip my lips from the Father. That was such a challenge. He eventually left again although he never would say that we were officially back together. His reason for moving back out was that he will never want to be with me because he can't forgive me for how I used to be.. I prayed, I said everything possible for a couple of weeks to try & reach him, but he was already out of my grasp.. Nothing- no matter how true- was touching him. Multiple times the Holy Spirit was speaking through me like a fire & he remained unmoved; set in his ways. The day he moved out is the day he made it "Facebook official" with a girl that I knew nothing about. The enemy had him ensnared with her at this point. They've been together for 2 months now & hasn't paid a penny toward the kids, hasn't saw them since he moved out, hasn't called & wont answer his phone. Rarely responds to texts. I think he's on drugs.. His mom didn't go into detail but she said she's never been more afraid for him & says he's going down a really bad path.. I'm sorta rambling at this point, but what I was trying to get across is that when he comes home, the battle has only started. I don't mean to put fear in you, but more just a realization & motivation to seek the Lord like never before. Surround your self with godly friends. Stay very involved in church. Stay in the word and in prayer as much as possible. I'm praying for you

I was very nervous when I first went to get my licence. I was afraid of driving. I had a bit of ptsd from a bad accident that I had witnessed when I was 15. My parents threatened me into it. Im so glad they did. Im a great driver now. Something to help with the motivation "no one knows till they learn" (quoting a movie, I thought that part was funny) Anyways one other thing I will caution you on. Change should not be bragged about, it must be observed. When you make changes that Jesus is leading you to, others will see it. Read consistent charlyne on rejoice marriage ministries! Will be praying for you. www.rejoiceministries.org/charlyne-cares-daily-devotional/2013/07/09/consistent-charlyne-2/
