L-N-F, No, I'm not out of sorts, actually I am in a good humor. I'm just being honest, or at least what I feel is honest. Anyway, I am still running and the diet is good. I just have to rehab a little before I get back on the weights.

O-dokey then... you just sounded a bit cynical...

hey see if you can talk amy winehouse into a little of that rehab... ... yeah, I know that was pretty bad...

lnf, busy day but did pray for ya. I'm expecting something neat to happen for you, we shall see what it is.

L-N-F, Oh I am a bit of a cynic, you should know that as much as we have talked in the past. I just have a real contempt for people who want to give credit to the Lord for doing something bad, you and I have had this conversation before. LOL Amy Winehouse? Its 4:00 AM here, not fully understanding that one! LOL Can't wait to hear about it though!

C2,

Thank you, that is so appreciated.... I'm finding that sleep is alluding me tonight. So I thought I'd check in on the boards and here I find such a nice post. So, in return....

Heavenly Father, I come to You tonight with a heart full of praise for Your presence in my life. You have made a way for so many to come together here and share the burdens and the joys of surviving in life after the heartbreak of broken marriages. You and You alone know each one of us, better than even we know ourselves, and the intricacies of our unique situations. I pray that you will bring a special blessing on those who are dealing with finding a way to survive the awful aftermath of being divorced. Encourage and strenghten us with Your presence as You make Yourself known unmistakably in our daily lives. Help us to lay our burdens down at the foot of the cross and allow Your perfect work in and among us. Father, please give us that words that minister to others who may be hurting that we might bring Glory to You. I am so very thankful that You've brought such wonderfully wise new friends into my life through this board... Michelle gets kudos but the Glory and Praise is Yours! Help us to realize that there is nothing we cannot bring to You and receive guidance on through our Savior, by whose stripes we are healed. And it's in the Holy name of Jesus that I pray and believe there is hope for the hurting, comfort for the broken and certainty of a better tomorrow for us all. Amen



I think maybe that is why I couldn't sleep.... I need to get this out. Good night now....

how beautiful LNF!!!

Happy Thursday everybody...

Well I'm home from the graduation ceremony.. <sniffle , sniffle >.. my little boy has officially outgrown all remants of childhood. That saddens me to no end but I have a that bittersweet feeling because now I'm allowed to watch the man he's becomming. We had a big ole heart to heart this afternoon before he left to meet his classmates at the stadium for their ceremony. At one point he lost his battle with holding back his tears as he was telling me how sorry he was for all the times he'd taken me for granted or caused disappointment ( man... I'm tearing up again remembering the conversation).... I think he must have been doing some soul-searching these past few days with this huge event looming so close. Oh my goodness it is just so beautifully difficult to see them growing up!!!!

lnf,

Oh, talk about God's perfect timing! I needed to read your prayer exactly when I read it! My church friends know me to be an encourager. I had a great day at work, wide open freeways (unheard of in So. Cal) allowing me to get home in time to pick up my son from his moms so we could watch the Laker playoff game (victory) with my best friend.

After all that, I dropped my son off and saw my daughter in her room and had to settle for a phone conversation, driving home the reminder my kids do not live with me. When I got back home, my friend was still here using my computer to load up some spanish lessons for the trip we are praying about going on.

We just finished praying together 10 minutes ago, just before he left but even after that, the resentment towards X rises.

Your prayer was timely, was what I needed to read and will sustain me through the night.

Bless you.

In spite of all that my X or your X have done, only God knows if they have sought his forgiveness. I know that I am not, nor will I ever be perfect and therefore, but for the grace of God, I deserve hell but have been spared. God continues to work on me in the area of forgiveness and the closer I get to true forgiveness towards X and Mr. X, the freer I become.

I have times when I genuinely deeply care for and pray for them adn then there are other times when my heart is grieved and I don't want to think anything positive about them.

If God forgives them, who am I hold a grudge? If God does not forgive them, then I truly have deep compassion and sadness for them.

One final thought. As my brother and I were talking about the concept of forgiveness this evening, and what Christlike forgiveness really is, I told him I hate Satan for all he does. I then decided to look up a verse to cite when the enemy comes against me. This is what I want to cite when i start to feel anger at what he has done in my life.

Thanks again for sharing your prayer, it was meant to ministe to me.

Happy Friday to you!

Expecting wonderous things today!! Birds are singing their praises, I still have my health and my kids love me unconditionally. Got food on the table, a roof over my head (for now) and I get to help people on my job on a daily basis, work with some loving and caring people...oh, and my Lakers won!

Indeed, it is a wonderful life!

Sincerely Yours,

George "C2H" Bailey

Well George, when you look at things from that perspective.... yes, it most certainly is.



Hey why is the board so quiet today? Heck, it is Friday isn't it? Okay so where's the party tonight... It's been a doosie of a week.... and a nice cold Long Island Tea sounds just heavenly!!!!
