For the Guy with Kids and a WW 8

[hopeful4her]

Something that I forgot to mention.

Roomie has decided lately to not attend church with me lately. I still take my D's. I am going to ask her about it when she moves out. I want to continue to take my D's to church with me, even if she is not going to attend.

I'm not sure if it is because she just doesn't want to attend together, if she is guilty, or what.

On Sunday, she cleaned out her vehicle before we left for church. She still does keep her bible in it and she also has a devotional book. We bought it together the last time we went to the Dollar store together. Maybe over a month ago. Anyway, she left her bible in the vehicle but brought her devotional book inside the house. She wants me to drive her vehicle because my truck doesn't have ac right now. When we got back on Sunday night, I notice the book upside down but opened to a section. This morning before I left for work, I looked at it.

The section was "Devotions when Doubting God".

Now, when we leave for church, she does at least put the tv on Joel Osteen. She likes him a lot. I do too. This last Sunday, he spoke about giving praise helps bring us blessings. Praising brings blessings like rain. It was good. Don't go around stagnant and under a cloud wondering why me? Give praise and turn the cloud into blessings that rain down on you.

How should I bring up taking the D's to church. I think my plan for us sharing the D's is that we would exchange every Sunday after church. Trying to think of how to say it.

Maybe,
"I noticed that your not attending church anymore. I have to respect your decision, but I still want to have the girls attend with me. I want to be able to take them to service even when when they are with you on Sunday mornings."

Of course, I would love to say something really smart ass, but I can refrain. You know, wondering what the demons did with my real wife kind of stuff. Wondering what God it is that she prays to, because He's not the same one I pray to. Apparantly, her God tells her to go against the bible. Not with it.

What is she going through?

Tonight, she was actually pleasant to me again. When she got home, she even asked me how my day was. I told her, but didn't draw it out like I usually would try to to be able to engage her in a conversation. I didn't ask her about hers. Then we had dinner and I already talked about that.

Is how I put it the way to say it? Roomie has alway been a Christian. She got away from it for a while a year and a half ago, when our problems first surfaced. She went through a party girl phase. It was at that time that I was saved.

Just looking for thoughts.

Yes, I admit that sometimes I don't seem too Christian either. I struggle with that inside.
