I have been Standing from the very first because it's what God revealed to me that He wanted me to do. No one talked me into it. No one can talk you into Standing but God. People will talk to you about it but only God can make you Stand.
There are times when I don't think Dbing is appropriate for my situation and when those times come I continue to ask God how to handle the situation. However, there are times when I'm not sure how I should handle a situation and I come here (or go to one of Michelle's books) looking for advice or suggestions. I will have to say though that 99% of the time I do what God tells me to do.
The "bomb" was dropped to me on a Sunday - on the way into the church on Friday I was stopped in my steps/tracks and knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that my marriage was going to be put through the test. However, I also knew that when the test was over my husband would be a Christian (he is not now and never has been). This journey is about his salvation. This journey is also about my obedience to what God has asked me to do.
I'm Standing for my marriage yes, but more importantly I'm Standing for my best-friend...to help him through this and to pray daily for his salvation.
