Wife came over last night, was not in a good mood, I can see the black cloud that is hanging over her head. Part of me really wants to see her, but when she is like she was last night, I cannot wait until she leaves.

It is so painful to watch someone you love to be so miserable, and not be able to help directly.I believe it is a good lesson in my faith, to be able to trust completely in the Lord, and to not lean on my own understanding.It is about letting go but with love. Hard.

Craig,

I seldom do this...

What do you trust the Lord to do?

What you want, or in His plan?

I hope that your trust in Him is based on the fact that you will be good...

Could you imagine if you were Job's wife? What would be worse? Being Job...or the wife? Tough call.

Jack,

I want his plan, I stand on the fact that The Lord hates divorce.I also understand my wife has free will and the Lord will never intefere with that.

I trust him to protect her while she is going through her MLC,I pray for her spiritual and emotional healing and I pray she will someday accept him as her Lord and savior.It may not work out the way I would like, but I am at a place where I know I will be a stronger more grounded individual than when this whole thing started.
Like I said before, it is very hard to see someone you love so deeply struggle, and truly not have a grasp on how to help herself.

Job's wife .no doubt.

Jack,

I want you to know how much I appreciate you taking the time to help me. I don't get alot of traffic on my situation , other than you, Sandi, and COG I don't have alot of interaction. I think that is a message that I need to try and help other people, because my situation is pretty static,at least for now .

You get what you give.

Not saying that you don't give...its never 50-50.

Once someone stablizes...I tend to leave them alone. I challenge the new guys to see if they have the mettle to do this and leave them alone once a few posters find them.

Its also about being able to relate to a person and if you think your advice matches what they are going through.

You, I think of Frank and FIB and Sleeper and Fix...possible Ral a little bit of Jeff.

Craig,

I have often read your posts but don't have any relevant comment to post. Your sitch is very different from mine. If I think it'll help I post. If not I don't.

I do wish YOU well.

And believe you are doing well.

I'd post more but, I'm just now finding out how to handle my own world. All I can say is "I'm with you in spirit and hope we all find our way"... I appreciate your responses to me as well.
