So a few weeks ago my hubby and I went to Wed. service and I don't remember the message but I remember we needed to hear it. When they did the alter call my hubby went up and our pastor prayed/spoke to him. He didn't tell me what was said. Fast forward to a few days ago and my husband's band boiled down to just him and the guitarist, Alex (the one with the gf that my husband kissed when we were apart). Every other member left. He had been telling me something different for days. He was looking for new members but he was thinkin of leaving, he felt that Alex was thinking of leaving because he was helping another band that has full members, etc. I just prayed for God's will to be done because as much as I don't want that girl around I still wanted God's will over mine. He wanted to talk to Alex about us moving in a yr but he was always 'busy'. The next day my hubby got a text from him stating that he was quitting the band for many reasons. My hubby was upset but said he wasn't surprised. He told me when he went up to the alter call my pastor told him, "I hear God saying as clear as day, He's going to take everything away from you so you can focus more on Him." After that he asked if we could watch a sermon so he can try and get back into it although we haven't yet.
It's been a crazy last few days because he's going in and out of being angry, depressed, and ok. His other friends have also not come around as much. Praise the Lord that he is working even though it hurts!

Where there is no way, He makes a way. Where no one else can reach us, He finds us.

Thank you all. Please continue to pray for my husband. He's still stuck in the negative mindset and victim mentality. This may be the hardest thing for us. We literally just had a talk about him going to a show to support his now ex guitarist Alex because he asked him to go months ago. Towards the end of the discussion it turned into him saying that "everyone leaves and doesn't stick around" and I said that's a horrible way to look at it, I always see it as they're not supposed to be in your life in this season. Then I asked do you think any of those that left are people God would want around you? Then he said "no one in this world is up to that standard anymore". Um negative, not true. Then I said Alex was good person who believes in God but the situation with his gf is what you're needing separation from. He then said "I hope she gets caught cheating" really angry and bitter like it's all her fault. I told him, I think she sucks and I'm not her biggest fan either but you can't say that like it's all her fault. You did it to, you willingly participated. He hates taking responsibility for any of his actions so I had to point that out. Ugh, it's so exhausting but please pray. Thank you.

Poor guy feels like he's not good enough for God.. By him saying that no one can be up to Gods standard.. He's bound with guilt. I'll be praying for you guys. Really try not to talk during these times & just listen. Even when he's blaming other people, just let him vent to you & then go pray for him.

Wow Marissa I can relate a lot to this. I was praying last night because we're supposed to be going to a convention in a couple weeks and my ex friend who Chris tried to sleep with is usually at this thing. I was just begging God to not let us see her or her ex. I was so frustrated I actually was telling God if we see her ex, I pray the guy would punch Chris in the face cause I don't feel like Chris felt any pain for that, but I stopped and had to remind myself. He doesn't talk about them. He doesn't even mention our old friends names. They have a 4 year old daughter together and broke up after what happened with Chris and he must have a great burden on his shoulders for that that he is not discussing. I know your husband feels that too. The fact that his friendship is falling apart is truly a blessing because the alternative of Alex finding out and them breaking up is far worse and a heavier weight for your husband to carry. God is being merciful to him and I am so glad you were able to point that out to him. Keep praying sister and find some peace. Our husbands or the people who cheated are not exempt from the consequences of their actions, but you should still pray for their best. None of us Deserve grace. That's why it's called grace - it's an unearned gift.
