Well, my husband just left...and for the 5th time since we separated 15 months ago....he wants out. Says he's going to file this week and that i can expect to be served since i won't sign the waiver. His heart is so cold towards me ....he mentioned all the old stuff all over again....justifying himself in that decision. I pray that the holy spirit intercedes on our behalf. I forgive his infidelity but he won't forgive me for driving him to it. I am very sad....tears. he seems fairly miserable to me. Maybe he thinks if he lets go the heartache he has will stop. some of the words i spoke were not mine....but the holy spirit. Pray that my husbands heart is softened and that his mind would linger on the good. I'm feeling wiped out.

Tk I have my iPod on shuffle and hope in front of me by Danny Gokey came on as I was reading this and I thought it was fitting. If you haven't seen it, check out the music video on YouTube - for me it was very encouraging. I am praying for you

I'll be praying for you.
I don't really know what to say but I do have a scripture for you that was brought up in the message today at church.
"Do not gloat over me, my enemies! For though I fall, I will rise again. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."
(Micah 7:8 NLT)
The Lord will be with you through this, you will not be knocked down for long.

TK, I'm sorry for this renewed hurt. It is so hard for us to watch our loved ones spiral further and further away from God and into darkness.
I am praying for you tonight for rest and for peace in your heart. I have two verses for you that give me comfort when I feel tired and like everything's out of my control and my husband is making wrong choices:
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)
"In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps." (Proverbs 16:9)
And then of course my go-to verse all the time:
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." (Jeremiah 29:11)
God has got this, and He has good plans for you. Rest in Him and let Him fight for you. Sending virtual hugs your way, and praying for you both.

Hi....been a rough day. A lot of prayer time even with all the work. My husband has convinced himself that we should have never married. ...i left him a note that satan is deceiving him. We barely talk anyway, so I don't expect to hear from him.

Father, I lift up my sister to you tonight. I lift her up, along with her prodigal husband. Lord, he has been blinded by lies. I ask you to place a hedge row of thorn bushes around his path. Hem him in, to protect him from these lies and from himself. Lord, speak loudly to his heart. Shake him to his core with the sound of your voice. Bless him Lord, with light and understanding, of the calling you have on his life. Lord I ask these things in your name. Your holy precious name, that your will be done. Amen.

Thank you William...i did by him the book and gave it to him yesterday. Thank you for the recommendation...he took it and did say he would read it. I did mention it was recommended by a man in my marriage group. This has been challenging on many levels....my family doesn't know about his unfaithfulness. If things work out i don't want any resentment so I've chosen not to tell them. We live in the same town as my parents and sisters. ...always something fun when we get together....he complained about all of them yesterday ...quick to judge them ....every fault. I doubt he's told his family the whole truth...they are mostly in Oregon. ...we're in Colorado. Thanks for checking on me....im a type-a overachiever. ....but this is so very challenging. ....wiping me out

So....where i was going with that is that i appreciate the offer...i can't confide in many people so I am very grateful to have you all to vent on. My friends don't understand my stand. Our 30 yr old daughter is devastated by the situation. I really only have one christian neighbor that I've confided in. I'm so blessed to have you all.

Tk there is difficulty for sure that comes from sharing with your family (as I'm sure you've heard myself and Marissa complain about), but it may be helpful to you. I understand not wanting the bitterness though and why you feel you should keep it in secret. I was reading a verse (I wish I could remember it exactly but maybe some of you know it?) that says anything that is dark should be brought into the light and anything that is in the light is visible to all. Then it says anything that is illuminated itself becomes a light. For me, that has meant a lot in that our sins (mine and my husbands both) were brought into the light and they can not be kept secret anymore. They had to be exposed to help us start to recognize how dark they were and once that registered to me, I became illuminated by God and became a light too - Chris someday will also be a light but it is taking longer for him, but the point is that exposing the sin for us, even though it brought on some consequences, was a huge step towards God for both of us.
