LRT UNDER SAME ROOF IIII

[fb2]

H Craig, Cog, ... Just wanted to say I understand craig's and john's feelings about this board. There is a tendency to lean on it for emotional support and often there is none. I tend to read it many times a day and draw a blank. The same happens when I try to pray; I get absolutely no response. Its like burnout after months of trying to keep a flickering flame burning in pitch darkness. And once the legal machine kicks in all bets are off; its a good thing that hasn't yet happened for some of you here; but for me it hit me like a ton of bricks before I even got to DBing. The odds are so heavily stacked against us saving our M's. I have been following your journeys and with all due respect for the advice, tenacity and reaching out I see here, I'm on the verge of not only letting go but giving up.

was talking to close friend about situation, he said he wishes he
would have been more patient with his situation , it probably would have saved his marriage. i give God the glory, for my determination during this whole process. good friday, i hope everyone has a great easter, remember what easter is all about. resurrection. we can also have a resurrected marriage, keep praying, be patient. never give up. have faith.

fb, i understand what you are trying to say . this site like any other information we gather to help us, has information that we need to gleen out for use for our own situation. obviously every situation is different. as far as our marriages and the odd's of saving them. i believe alot depends on our frame of mind. i truly believe with the Lord, everything is possible.with that in mind, that is why i have not given up. wife is still in house , papers have been filed, but nothing more than that. it is in the Lords hands.

Craig,

remember what easter is all about. resurrection.

Easter is about dying. The resurrection came AFTER the death. Is there anything that still needs to die in your sitch, before the resurrection can happen?

God Bless,

COG

cog, true, but good friday would be black friday without the resurrection. death, then resurrection. is there something that needs to die in my situation. good question, i will have to seriously think about it. off the cuff, i would say there is probably something tucked away that i have not dealt with yet. but the Lord will show me. i will confess and let him forgive me. cog, believe it or not this experience has been a blessing. i have suffered yes, but God has shown me so much. i am not the same man i was 6 months ago. of course i still mess up. but the anger is gone the moodiness is gone. i am filled with joy alot more. he has openend up my heart again. it is humbling.

hi brothers in Christ,

fwiw, wouldn't Good Friday be about dying, since that is what occured. And Easter Sunday be about resurection, since that is what occured ...or am I mixed up.

Anyway enjoy God's supreme gift of salvation through Christ's paying of our sin debts in full.

tomato, yes good friday is about jesus's death on the cross. the day he took our sins and nailed them to the cross. but the fact that he rose after three days is what easter is about.it is all about his willing sacrifice. his absolute love for us that allows us access to the father. his death bridged the gap.

[Tomato]

as with anything, it is all in the perspective. the bottom line being that he died so we would have eternal life. the other disection was just splitting hairs so to speak.

Have a blessed Easter!

Craig,

Easter is about dying.

Sorry, I got that wrong. I was caught up in the Good Friday moment. That's what happens when you live in the present. Anyway, point is, there had to be death, before resurrection. I believe that applies to our lives, and also to healing M's.

We look forward to Easter Sunday.

God Bless,

COG

cog, i thought about your question overnight. i do have something that needs to die.my expectations for my wife and still too high.i reacted last night to something she said, in a negative way. not verbal, but a facial expression. she can read me like a book.i need to bury my expectations. the last week has been a real roadblock, i do not know why, but it has.more time in prayer.
