Hi friends! Its been a while since I've updated. Dana moved again...when we first separated, he moved 45 min away to a different town. He's moved a lot since we separated 4 yrs ago...hes now just 5 min away. I cant believe its been so long! I still have great joy and peace, which the Lord gave me in the 1st 9 days of our separation. Our 20 yr anniversary was in late August. He brought my roses and asked me to dinner! Wow! He also bought a rescue Husky...her name is Canyon. We've always been blessed with great dogs! He brings her by a lot. He seems to find a reason to come by several times each week. But he is still so lost....and very depressed now. Canyon is warming his heart. The enemy is trying to rip apart our daughters marriage of 8 yrs. You may remember Christiphilian neighbors of theirs. Really a cult who lured them slowly away from God. Please pray for them, its so hard to watch. My best friend Ruthe, who lives across the street for 19 years, is in her final days with us. Pancreatic cancer. She is a nurse. Her husband, Randy, and Dana are also best friends. They have 3 daughters...all 20 something. They are the most beautiful Christian family I've known...always giving time and helping others. Randy had spinal fusion that went very wrong last yr...he was hospitalized 6 mos...multiple infections which needed addl surgeries. He requires full time care. Their girls have been right beside them thru all of this. 2 of them live 2 hrs away...i am over there often, helping with anything they need. Ruthe was the one i turned to when we separated. I didnt want our daughter or my sisters and parents to be resentful. Ruthe has been such a blessing to me...I'm having a hard time figuring out how to say goodbye...please pray for the timing and the words.

TK I am so sorry to hear about Ruthe. It really breaks my heart and thank you Lord that she does know Christ intimately. Still it doesn’t make the loss easier. I will keep you and her and all the family in my prayers. I am also encouraged to hear about Dana. I had a picture a few days ago from the Lord of a rock that was sitting still and suddenly a waterfall started pouring over it and slowly but surely the rock started to get worn down and shaped into the shape of a man. It was Chris, but I think the picture works well for Dana too. These men are hard hearted and stubborn. Although in the place we are now in our marriages, it makes things difficult, God is strong enough to wear these men down and when He is finished shaping them, they will still be strong and hard and stubborn but God will use that for his good! Their strength is not a bad thing, despite it being an obstacle for our desires right now. But Christ knows ours desires. He gave us our desires and He wants to fulfill them in our lives. This sucks and it’s hard, but thank you God for giving me your strength to stand for the salvation of my husband. Amen!

TK it is good to hear from you even though you are going through a lot, and I am sad to hear about Ruthe - although, like Sharon said, what a blessing that she has a good relationship with God!
It's been several days since you posted (I haven't been on the site in a while) but I will pray for each of these petitions. And I am also encouraged to hear about God's movements in Dana's life. He sure is an amazing God.
